@ -251,6 +251,7 @@ There are two primary global topics used to propagate beacon blocks and aggregat
- `beacon_block` - This topic is used solely for propagating new signed beacon blocks to all nodes on the networks. Signed blocks are sent in their entirety. The following validations MUST pass before forwarding the `signed_beacon_block` on the network
- The block is not from a future slot (with a `MAXIMUM_GOSSIP_CLOCK_DISPARITY` allowance) -- i.e. validate that `signed_beacon_block.message.slot <= current_slot` (a client MAY queue future blocks for processing at the appropriate slot).
- The block is not from later than the latest finalized slot (with a `MAXIMUM_GOSSIP_CLOCK_DISPARITY` allowance) -- i.e. validate that `signed_beacon_block.message.slot > compute_start_slot_at_epoch(state.finalized_checkpoint.epoch)` (a client MAY choose to validate and store such blocks for additional purposes -- e.g. slashing detection, archive nodes, etc).
- The block is the first block received for the proposer for the slot, `signed_beacon_block.message.slot`.
- The proposer signature, `signed_beacon_block.signature`, is valid.
- `beacon_aggregate_and_proof` - This topic is used to propagate aggregated attestations (as `SignedAggregateAndProof`s) to subscribing nodes (typically validators) to be included in future blocks. The following validations MUST pass before forwarding the `signed_aggregate_and_proof` on the network. (We define the following for convenience -- `aggregate_and_proof = signed_aggregate_and_proof.message` and `aggregate = aggregate_and_proof.aggregate`)
