- spelling fixes
- use the correct sintax for notes
- em-dashes should be em-dashes (`—`): double dashes (`--`) are not
rendered properly
- fix a link (was to a .html, should be to .md)
- add missing dots
- every sentence should be on a separate line: it makes future diffs
much nicer and easier to spot the changes
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
Adds a "Slot start" log to the LC that behaves similar to BN to inform
the user that the light client is doing something, and to indicate the
latest view of the network (finalized / optimistic).
The optimistic sync spec was updated since the LC based optsync module
was introduced. It is no longer necessary to wait for the justified
checkpoint to have execution enabled; instead, any block is okay to be
optimistically imported to the EL client, as long as its parent block
has execution enabled. Complex syncing logic has been removed, and the
LC optsync module will now follow gossip directly, reducing the latency
when using this module. Note that because this is now based on gossip
instead of using sync manager / request manager, that individual blocks
may be missed. However, EL clients should recover from this by fetching
missing blocks themselves.
* reorganise navigation menus
* update light client guide with comparison table
* add suggested fee recipient and JWT secrets to the merge guide
* add some background info to book readme
* add JWT docs
also limit toc to make it displayable with substeps.
* Use final `v1` version for light client protocols
* Unhide LC data collection options
* Default enable LC data serving
* rm unneeded import
* Connect to EL on startup
* Add docs for LC based EL sync
