Can I connect other validators(e.g. Lighthouse, Teku..) to Prysm beacon node?

💎 Issue

Hi,

I wonder that is it possible to connect other validator to Prysm beacon node?

Description

I would like to enrich my validator types, however, some of them will connect to a prysm beacon node. I wonder is it possible to do this, and is it recommended?

Hi @LilkkJerry. Yes, it is possible as the beacon node supports https://ethereum.github.io/beacon-APIs/?urls.primaryName=dev#/ValidatorRequiredApi

Hi @rkapka , thanks!
I noticed that currently Prysm validator still use gRPC to interact with beacon, although it has a 'enable-beacon-rest-api', but i still need to configure 'beacon-rpc-provider' at the same time. Does it mean Prysm beacon doesn't have a full support for official beacon-API yet or Prysm validator doesn't fully support work with beacon-API?

The latter. It is an unfinished, highly experimental project so please do not by any means use this flag on Mainnet.
