| Once the data is available in the `BeaconState`, a light client data backfill protocol could be defined that serves, for past periods: | ||
|
|
||
| 1. A `LightClientUpdate` from requested `period` + 1 that proves that the entirety of `period` is finalized. | ||
| 2. `BeaconState.historical_summaries[period].block_summary_root` at (1)'s `attested_header.beacon.state_root` + Merkle proof. |

also can we use current beacon state to look for block summary root as well ?

The "current" beacon state is not signed by the sync committee, so basing this on attested_header's BeaconState makes more sense. Also, the full historical block / state roots (not just summary) are only available for recent history.

current meaning from where we are starting backfill assuming its a trusted point right?

yes. as it's a backward sync direction, trust is implicitly there.
