func Initialize

func Initialize(
	ctx context.Context,
	beaconChain beaconchain.Interface,
	netProvider net.Provider,
	persistence persistence.ProtectedHandle,
	scheduler *generator.Scheduler,
) error

Initialize kicks off the random beacon by initializing internal state, ensuring preconditions like staking are met, and then kicking off the internal random beacon implementation. Returns an error if this failed, otherwise enters a blocked loop.
