Electra -- Networking

This document contains the consensus-layer networking specification for Electra.

The specification of these changes continues in the same format as the network specifications of previous upgrades, and assumes them as pre-requisite.

Table of contents

Modifications in Electra

The gossip domain: gossipsub

Some gossip meshes are upgraded in the fork of Electra to support upgraded types.

Topics and messages

Topics follow the same specification as in prior upgrades.

The beacon_block topic is modified to also support Electra blocks.

The beacon_aggregate_and_proof and beacon_attestation_{subnet_id} topics are modified to support the gossip of the new attestation type.

The specification around the creation, validation, and dissemination of messages has not changed from the Capella document unless explicitly noted here.

The derivation of the message-id remains stable.

Global topics

beacon_aggregate_and_proof

The following convenience variables are re-defined

  • index = get_committee_indices(aggregate.committee_bits)[0]

The following validations are added:

  • [REJECT] len(committee_indices) == 1, where committee_indices = get_committee_indices(aggregate).
  • [REJECT] aggregate.data.index == 0

Attestation subnets

beacon_attestation_{subnet_id}

The following convenience variables are re-defined

  • index = get_committee_indices(attestation.committee_bits)[0]

The following validations are added:

  • [REJECT] len(committee_indices) == 1, where committee_indices = get_committee_indices(attestation).
  • [REJECT] attestation.data.index == 0
