BEEFY (Bridge Efficiency Enabling Finality Yielder) is a secondary protocol running along GRANDPA Finality to support efficient bridging with non-Substrate blockchains, currently mainly ETH mainnet. It can be thought of as an (optional) Bridge-specific Gadget to the GRANDPA Finality protocol. The Protocol piggybacks on many assumptions provided by GRANDPA, and is required to be built on top of it to work correctly. BEEFY is a consensus protocol designed with efficient trustless bridging in mind. It means that building a light client of BEEFY protocol should be optimized for restricted environments like Ethereum Smart Contracts or On-Chain State Transition Function (e.g. Substrate Runtime). Note that BEEFY is not a standalone protocol, it is meant to be running alongside GRANDPA, a finality gadget created for Substrate/Polkadot ecosystem. More details about GRANDPA can be found in the whitepaper. We want to be able to "bridge" different blockchains. We do so by safely sharing and verify
