Introducing Light Client integration (beta)

The long-awaited Light Client integration has come, in its own beta version.

Syncing time decreased by an order of magnitude, compared to running a full node.

As Geth 1.7.x uses LES protocol v1, you'll notice log retrieval takes more time than usual. The good news is v2 is coming to ease that. We'll keep you posted.

In order to enable it, head to Develop > Use Light Client menu.

You can join us for further discussion at the Gitter channel.
