There was a problem hiding this comment.
Note: Ephemery's config stops at the last scheduled fork (currently Fulu). params.SetActive rejects a config whose later fork versions collide with mainnet leftovers, so the ephemery path fills omitted versions by numbering up from the genesis fork version (0x1000101b → 0x8000101b), logging a warning per filled fork.

Documentation
After this PR is merged, I will update the "client implementation" section in ephemery-resources. So basically an entry for Prysm will be changed to "Complete" (Genesis Function Status).
Also we might dedicate a page for our documentation as well.
Live verification (with Geth)
With these commands, the beacon node SHOULD sync to the tip of the chain, from the genesis.
