Bellatrix light client data does not contain the EL block hash, so we
had to follow blocks gossip to learn the EL `block_hash` of such blocks.
Now that Bellatrix is obsolete, we can simplify EL syncing logic under
light client scenarios. Bellatrix light client data can still be used
to advance the light client sync itself, but will no longer result in
`engine_forkchoiceUpdated` calls until the sync reaches Capella. This
also frees up some memory as we no longer have to retain blocks.
* Make listen-address default to use dualstack.
* Use correct newProtocol().
* Bump nim-eth.
* Bump nim-eth one more time.
* Use `*` instead of IPv6 address for dualstack sockets.
* Bump chronos and nim-eth.
* Use new constructor.
* Fix listenAddress should be Opt[T] not Option[T].
* Fix options.md.
The new nimbus.team website got launched with different
color schemes than the previous.
This is a small attempt to get the color schemes (dark/light)
closer to those used on nimbus.team.
There was already a dark scheme added before. This change just
sets that dark scheme as default, as is also the case for
nimbus.team.
It also removes orange/amber colors from the light scheme.
* Avoid global in p2p macro (fixes#4578)
* copy p2p macro to this repo and start de-crufting it
* make protocol registration dynamic, removing light client hacks et al
* split out light client protocol into its own file
* cleanups
* Option -> Opt
* remove more cruft
* further split beacon_sync
this allows the light client to respond to peer metadata messages
without exposing the block sync protocol
* better protocol init
* "constant" protocol index
* avoid casts
* copyright
* move some discovery code to discovery
* avoid extraneous data copy when sending chunks
* remove redundant forkdigest field
* document how to connect to a specific peer
Using trusted node sync currently requires to run two commands -
first the `trustedNodeSync` command to initialize the database,
followed by the regular startup command to continue syncing.
The `trustedNodeSync` options are now also available during regular
startup, and are used when the database is empty to simplify setting up
a new Nimbus beacon node. This also aligns behaviour closer with other
Ethereum consensus implementations.
The new logic only applies if the database has not yet been initialized;
same as before. Also, the database needs to be removed under the same
conditions as before when a fresh sync is desired.
