The consensus-spec-tests already cover the scenarios of our custom test
runner, so the custom tests can be removed. Also cleans up unused config
flags and related unreachable logic.
* Simplify block quarantine blobless
The quarantine blobless table was initially keyed off of (Eth2Digest,
ValidatorSig). This was modelled off the orphan table. The presence of
the signature in the key is necessary for orphans, because we can't
verify the signature for an orphan. That is not the case for a
blobless block, where the signature can be verified.
So this PR changes the blobless block table to be keyed off a
Eth2Digest only. This simplifies the retrieval and handling of
blobless blocks.

* Update sync to use post-decoupling RPCs
blob_sidecars_by_range returns a flat list of sidecars, which must
then be grouped per-slot.
* Add test for groupBlobs
* createBlobs: convert proc to func
* Support for driving multiple EL nodes from a single Nimbus BN
Full list of changes:
* Eth1Monitor has been renamed to ELManager to match its current
responsibilities better.
* The ELManager is no longer optional in the code (it won't have
a nil value under any circumstances).
* The support for subscribing for headers was removed as it only
worked with WebSockets and contributed significant complexity
while bringing only a very minor advantage.
* The `--web3-url` parameter has been deprecated in favor of a
new `--el` parameter. The new parameter has a reasonable default
value and supports specifying a different JWT for each connection.
Each connection can also be configured with a different set of
responsibilities (e.g. download deposits, validate blocks and/or
produce blocks). On the command-line, these properties can be
configured through URL properties stored in the #anchor part of
the URL. In TOML files, they come with a very natural syntax
(althrough the URL scheme is also supported).
* The previously scattered EL-related state and logic is now moved
to `eth1_monitor.nim` (this module will be renamed to `el_manager.nim`
in a follow-up commit). State is assigned properly either to the
`ELManager` or the to individual `ELConnection` objects where
appropriate.
The ELManager executes all Engine API requests against all attached
EL nodes, in parallel. It compares their results and if there is a
disagreement regarding the validity of a certain payload, this is
detected and the beacon node is protected from publishing a block
with a potential execution layer consensus bug in it.
The BN provides metrics per EL node for the number of successful or
failed requests for each type Engine API requests. If an EL node
goes offline and connectivity is resoted later, we report the
problem and the remedy in edge-triggered fashion.
* More progress towards implementing Deneb block production in the VC
and comparing the value of blocks produced by the EL and the builder
API.
* Adds a Makefile target for the zhejiang testnet
* Remove use of beacon_block_and_blobs_sidecar topic
This topic goes away with decoupled blocks and blobs.
* remove use of getBeaconBlockAndBlobsSidecarTopic from test
* update nimbus_light_client.nim
This commit removes ForkySignedBeaconBlockMaybeBlobs and all
references. I tried to pull that thread only as little as was needed
to get rid of it. Left a placeholder BlobSidecar array (in lieu of
Opt[BlobsSidecar]) in a few places; this will be used as we rebuild
the decoupled implementation.
* Local sim impovements
* Added support for running Capella and EIP-4844 simulations
by downloading the correct version of Geth.
* Added support for using Nimbus remote signer and Web3Signer.
Use 2 out of 3 threshold signing configuration in the mainnet
configuration and regular remote signing in the minimal one.
* The local testnet simulation can now use a payload builder.
This is currently not activated in CI due to lack of automated
procedures for installing third-party relays or builders.
You are adviced to use mergemock for now, but for most realistic
results, we can create a simple builder based on the nimbus-eth1
codebase that will be able to propose transactions from the regular
network mempool.
* Start the simulation from a merged state. This would allow us
to start removing pre-merge functionality such as the gossip
subsciption logic. The commit also removes the merge-forcing
hack installed after the TTD removal.
* Consolidate all the tools used in the local simulation into a
single `ncli_testnet` binary.
* restore doppelganger check on connectivity loss
https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/pull/4398 introduced a
regression in functionality where doppelganger detection would not be
rerun during connectivity loss. This PR reintroduces this check and
makes some adjustments to the implementation to simplify the code flow
for both BN and VC.
* track when check was last performed for each validator (to deal with
late-added validators)
* track when we performed a doppel-detectable activity (attesting) so as
to avoid false positives
* remove nodeStart special case (this should be treated the same as
adding a validator dynamically just after startup)
* allow sync committee duties in doppelganger period
* don't trigger doppelganger when registering duties
* fix crash when expected index response is missing
* fix missing slashingSafe propagation
Other changes:
Renamed the `EIP_4844_FORK_*` config constants to `DENEB_FORK_*` as
this matches the latest spec and it's already used in the official
Sepolia config.
We do a linear scan of all pubkeys for each validator and slot - this
becomes expensive with large validator counts.
* normalise BN/VC validator startup logging
* fix crash when host cannot be resolved while adding remote validator
* silence repeated log spam for unknown validators
* print pubkey/index/activation mapping on startup/validator
identification
While syncing the finalized portion of the chain, the execution client
cannot efficiently sync and most of the time returns `SYNCING` - in this
PR, we use CL-verified optmistic sync as long as the block is claimed to
be finalized, only occasionally updating the EL with progress.
Although a peer might lie about what is finalized and what isn't,
eventually we'll call the execution client - thus, all a dishonest
client can do is delay execution verification slightly. Gossip blocks in
particular are never assumed to be finalized.
Extends fork choice state to also track slot numbers to improve accuracy
of `/eth/v1/debug/fork_choice` endpoint. Autoenable this API on devnet,
and disable some extra checks on devnet to aid focused testing efforts.
Align fork choice pruning logic with API based on checkpoints vs root.
* eip4844 beacon block proposals
* Don't fetch blobs under minimal preset
@tersec's summary of the issue:
BlobsBundleV1 in the execution API spec assumes a mainnet preset blob
size, where the EIP4844 consensus spec defines
FIELD_ELEMENTS_PER_BLOB: 4 under the minimal preset, which leads to a
Blob having a length of 4 * 32, not 4096 * 32 which BlobsBundleV1
requires.
* Revert unintentional script change
* exit/validatorchange pool includes BLS to execution messages; REST
support for new pool
* catch failed individual futures
* increase BLS changes bound and keep BLS seen consistent with subpool
* deque capacities should be powers of 2
When running `nimbus_light_client`, we persist the latest header from
`LightClientStore.finalized_header` in a database across restarts.
Because the data format is derived from the latest `LightClientStore`,
this could lead to data being persisted in pre-release formats.
To enable us to test later `LightClientStore` versions on devnets,
transition to a `ForkedLightClientStore` internally that is only
migrated to newer forks on-demand (instead of starting at latest).
Distinguish between those code locations that need to be updated on each
light client data format change, and those others that should generally
be fine, as long as a valid light client object is processed.
The former are tagged with static assert for `LightClientDataFork.high`.
The latter are changed to `lcDataFork > LightClientDataFork.None` to
indicate that they depend only on presence of any valid object.
Also bundled a few minor cleanups and fixes.
Also add `Forky` type for `LightClientStore` and minor fixes / cleanups.
The light client data structures were changed to accommodate additional
fields in future forks (e.g., to also hold execution data).
There is a minor change to the JSON serialization, where the `header`
properties are now nested inside a `LightClientHeader`.
The SSZ serialization remains compatible.
See https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/pull/3190
and https://github.com/ethereum/beacon-APIs/pull/287
In a future fork, light client data will be extended with execution info
to support more use cases. To anticipate such an upgrade, introduce
`Forky` and `Forked` types, and ready the database schema.
Because the mapping of sync committee periods to fork versions is not
necessarily unique (fork schedule not in sync with period boundaries),
an additional column is added to `period` -> `LightClientUpdate` table.
* correctly report ignored contributions in metrics
* avoid counting subset contributions in vmon (bring in line with
attestation aggregates)
* avoid signature checks for subset attestations
A being a non-strict subset is a sufficient condition to ignore.
Introduce (optional) pruning of historical data - a pruned node will
continue to answer queries for historical data up to
`MIN_EPOCHS_FOR_BLOCK_REQUESTS` epochs, or roughly 5 months, capping
typical database usage at around 60-70gb.
To enable pruning, add `--history=prune` to the command line - on the
first start, old data will be cleared (which may take a while) - after
that, data is pruned continuously.
When pruning an existing database, the database will not shrink -
instead, the freed space is recycled as the node continues to run - to
free up space, perform a trusted node sync with a fresh database.
When switching on archive mode in a pruned node, history is retained
from that point onwards.
History pruning is scheduled to be enabled by default in a future
release.
In this PR, `minimal` mode from #4419 is not implemented meaning
retention periods for states and blocks are always the same - depending
on user demand, a future PR may implement `minimal` as well.

* Types and scaffolding for EIP-4844
This commit adds the EIP-4844 spec types, and fills in
scaffolding/boilerplate for the use of these types across the repo.
None of the actual EIP-4844 logic is introduced yet.
This follows the pattern used by @tersec when introducing Capella (#4276).

In Jenkins CI we run two instances of unit tests concurrently.
This can trigger CI failure when the same port numbers are re-used
by the different test instances. Fixed one more issue of this by
allowing user configuration of the base port number.

The various `PeerScore` constants are used for both beacon blocks and
LC objects, and will likely also find use for EIP4844 blob sidecars.
Renaming them to use more generically applicable names not referring
to blocks explicitly aymore.
We currently use `BlockError` for both beacon blocks and LC objects.
In light of EIP4844, we will likely also use it for blob sidecars.
To avoid confusion, renaming it to a more generic `VerifierError`,
and update its documentation to be more generic.
To avoid long lines as a followup, also renaming the `block_processor`'s
`BlockProcessingCompleted.completed`->`ProcessingStatus.completed` and
`BlockProcessingCompleted.notCompleted`->`ProcessingStatus.notCompleted`
This PR removes a bunch of code to make TNS aware of era files, avoiding
a duplicated backfill when era files are available.
* reuse chaindag for loading backfill state, replacing the TNS homebrew
* fix era block iteration to skip empty slots
* add tests for `can_advance_slots`
When the EL/Builder fails to produce an execution payload, we fall back
to an empty `ExecutionPayload`. Even though it contains no transactions
it should refer to the configured fee recipient. This is useful for
privacy reasons (do not reveal the reason for the empty payload) and for
compliance with additional fee recipient rules by staking pools.
* move duty tracking code to `ActionTracker`
* fix earlier duties overwriting later ones
* re-run subnet selection when new duty appears
* log upcoming duties as soon as they're known (vs 4 epochs before)
Currently, we require genesis and a checkpoint block and state to start
from an arbitrary slot - this PR relaxes this requirement so that we can
start with a state alone.
The current trusted-node-sync algorithm works by first downloading
blocks until we find an epoch aligned non-empty slot, then downloads the
state via slot.
However, current
[proposals](https://github.com/ethereum/beacon-APIs/pull/226) for
checkpointing prefer finalized state as
the main reference - this allows more simple access control and caching
on the server side - in particular, this should help checkpoint-syncing
from sources that have a fast `finalized` state download (like infura
and teku) but are slow when accessing state via slot.
Earlier versions of Nimbus will not be able to read databases created
without a checkpoint block and genesis. In most cases, backfilling makes
the database compatible except where genesis is also missing (custom
networks).
* backfill checkpoint block from libp2p instead of checkpoint source,
when doing trusted node sync
* allow starting the client without genesis / checkpoint block
* perform epoch start slot lookahead when loading tail state, so as to
deal with the case where the epoch start slot does not have a block
* replace `--blockId` with `--state-id` in TNS command line
* when replaying, also look at the parent of the last-known-block (even
if we don't have the parent block data, we can still replay from a
"parent" state) - in particular, this clears the way for implementing
state pruning
* deprecate `--finalized-checkpoint-block` option (no longer needed)
