"Proving an Ethereum PoS block's ancestry is hard. Verifying predecessor blocks without downloading all of Ethereum's 200MB Beacon state is far from trivial.

"While developing an Ethereum light client we had to prove on a different chain that a given Ethereum event occurred. Since the sync committee does not sign every block we needed to prove that the block containing that event was a predecessor of the last block signed by the committee. This fundamental issue surprisingly lacked a modular solution in the light client space"
