Other changes:
* More optimal search for TTD block.
* Add timeouts to all REST requests during trusted node sync.
Fixes#4037
* Removed support for storing a deposit snapshot in the network
metadata.
* 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).
* use eth2-networks fork
* review feedback: add static check EIP4844_FORK_EPOCH == FAR_FUTURE_EPOCH
* review feedback: remove EIP4844 from /eth/v1/config/spec response
* Cleanup / review feedback
* Fix REST test
* implement several capellaImplementationMissing points
* don't register validator activity for not-active validators
* don't check validator indices already coming out of committees which exist; must be active validators, or else other deeper bugs
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.
The LC REST API has been merged into the ethereum/beacon-APIs specs:
- https://github.com/ethereum/beacon-APIs/pull/247
Update URLs to v1 and update REST tests. Note that REST tests do not
start with Altair, so the tested BN will return empty / error responses.
Implements the latest proposal for providing LC data via REST, as of
https://github.com/ethereum/beacon-APIs/pull/247 with a v0 suffix.
Requests:
- `/eth/v0/beacon/light_client/bootstrap/{block_root}`
- `/eth/v0/beacon/light_client/updates?start_period={start_period}&count={count}`

For JSON responses, "eth-consensus-version" header is handled in
`eth2_rest_serialization` for states and `rest_beacon_api` for blocks.
Align them to also be handled in `eth2_rest_serialization` for blocks.
In `eth2_rest_serialization` there was a `dump` function for
`KeystoresAndSlashingProtection` that does not seem to be used.
Removes that unused function.
For pre-encoded JSON REST responses we have `jsonResponsePlain`.
Adds a `sszResponsePlain` function to serve similar purpose for SSZ.
This avoids caller having to explicitly specify Http200 and media type.
* detect mismatch of config and binary
When loading configuration that sets keys that Nimbus bakes into the
binary at compile-time, raise an error if the config is incompatible
instead of ignoring the conflicting value.
Since these files may have been created in a previous run or manually,
we want to keep loading them even on nodes that don't enable the
keystore API (for example static setups)
Other changes:
* log keystore loading progressively (#3699)
* print initial fee recipient when loading validators
* log dynamic fee recipient updates
Per spec, we should not be sending our detected terminal block to EL -
the EL configuration exchange should only look at values from
configuration and report mismatches.
When there are a lot of deposits, we decompress the public key into a
crypto cache. To avoid having those caches grow unreasonably big,
make sure to operate on the decompressed pubkey instead.
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.
* support connecting to peers without bellatrix
Make discovery fork ID aware of scheduled Bellatrix fork to enable
connections to peers that don't have Bellatrix scheduled yet.
Without this, has peering issues with peers on older SW version.
* expand tests with compatibility checks
* more exhaustive compatibility checks
* Fixes a segfault during block production when the Keymanager API
is disabled. The Keymanager is now disabled on half of the local
testnet nodes to catch such problems in the future.
* Fixes multiple potential stalls from REST requests being done
without a timeout. From practice, we know that such requests
can hang forever if not cancelled with a timeout. At best,
this would be a resource leak, at worst, it may lead to a
full stall of the client and missed validator duties.
* Changes some Options usages to Opt (for easier use of valueOr)
* Keymanager API for the validator client
* Properly treat the 'description' field as optional when loading Keystores
* Spec-compliant serialization of the slashing data in Keymanager's DeleteKeys response ()
Fixes#3940Fixes#3964Closes#3884 by adding test
* MEV validator registration
* add nearby canary to detect new beacon chain forks
* remove special MEV graffiti
* web3signer support
* fix trace logging
* Nim 1.2 needs raises Defect
* use template rather than proc in REST JSON parsing
* use --payload-builder-enable and --payload-builder-url
* explicitly default MEV to disabled
* explicitly empty default value for payload builder URL
* revert attestation pool to unstable version
* 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
* Re-enabled requireAllFields after a fix in nim-json-serialization
The problem was that `Option[T]` fields were not treated as optional
when requireAllFields is set to true. This is now fixed in NJS.
* Add makefile targets for recreating the Jenkins simulation runs
* Fix a discrepancy with the REST spec
#3864 introduced a regression by turning on `requireAllFields` globally
for JSON parsing. Certain endpoints such as `RestSyncInfo` have optional
fields that do not parse correctly without additional changes. This is
reverted for now to restore previous behaviour and unblock CI testing.
Other changes:
* The Keymanager error responses differ from the Beacon API responses.
'keymanagerApiError' replaces the former usages of 'jsonError'.
* Return status code 401 and 403 for authorization errors in accordance
to the spec.
* Eliminate inconsistencies in the REST JSON parsing. Some of the code
paths allowed missing fields.
* Added logging of serialization failure details at DEBUG level.
Removes a few extra-ambitious templates to make `self` updates explicit,
and moves the `FinalityCheckpoints` type from `base` to `helpers` as it
is an additional Nimbus specific type not defined by spec.
Whether new blocks/attestations/etc are produced internally or received
via REST, their journey through the node is the same - to ensure that
they get the same treatment (logging, metrics, processing), this PR
moves the routing to a dedicated module and fixes several small
differences that existed before.
* `xxxValidator` -> `processMessageName` - the processor also was adding
messages to pools, so we want the name to reflect that action
* add missing "sent" metrics for some messages
* document ignore policy better - already-seen messages are not actaully
rebroadcast by libp2p
* skip redundant signature checks for internal validators consistently
The justified and finalized `Checkpoint` are frequently passed around
together. This introduces a new `FinalityCheckpoint` data structure that
combines them into one.
Due to the large usage of this structure in fork choice, also took this
opportunity to update fork choice tests to the latest v1.2.0-rc.1 spec.
Many additional tests enabled, some need more work, e.g. EL mock blocks.
Also implemented `discard_equivocations` which was skipped in #3661,
and improved code reuse across fork choice logic while at it.
* optimistic sync
* flag that initially loaded blocks from database might need execution block root filled in
* return optimistic status in REST calls
* refactor blockslot pruning
* ensure beacon_blocks_by_{root,range} do not provide optimistic blocks
* handle forkchoice head being pre-merge with block being postmerge
* re-enable blocking head updates on validator duties
* fix is_optimistic_candidate_block per spec; don't crash with nil future
* fix is_optimistic_candidate_block per spec; don't crash with nil future
* mark blocks sans execution payloads valid during head update
Separate LC initialization options from the main ChainDAGRef options to
allow ChainDAGRef to treat them as opaque and reduce risk for conflicts
when extending those options in the future.
Merkle proofs tend to have long underlying type definitions, e.g.,
`array[log2trunc(NEXT_SYNC_COMMITTEE_INDEX), Eth2Digest]`. For the
ones used in the LC sync protocol, dedicated types are introduced
to improve readability. Furthermore, the `CachedLightClientBootstrap`
wrapper that solely wrapped a merkle branch is eliminated.
Adds a `--light-client-data-max-periods` option to override the number
of sync committee periods to retain light client data.
Raising it above the default enables archive nodes to serve full data.
Lowering below the default speeds up import times (still no persistence)
This updates `nim-ssz-serialization` to
`3db6cc0f282708aca6c290914488edd832971d61`.
Notable changes:
- Use `uint64` for `GeneralizedIndex`
- Add support for building merkle multiproofs
* Initial commit
* Make `events` API spec compliant.
* Add `Eth-Consensus-Version` in responses.
* Bump chronos to get redirect with headers working.
* Add `is_optimistic` field and handling to syncing RestSyncInfo.
* adopt LC REST API with v0 suffix (without proofs)
Adopts the light client data REST API used by Lodestar as defined in
https://github.com/ethereum/beacon-APIs/pull/181 with a v0 suffix.
Requests:
- `/eth/v0/beacon/light_client/bootstrap/{block_root}`
- `/eth/v0/beacon/light_client/updates?start_period={start_period}&count={count}`
- `/eth/v0/beacon/light_client/finality_update`
- `/eth/v0/beacon/light_client/optimistic_update`
HTTP Server-Sent Events (SSE):
- `light_client_finality_update_v0`
- `light_client_optimistic_update_v0`
More work is needed to adopt the proofs endpoint, it is not included.
* initialize event queues
* register event topics
When launched with `--light-client-enable` the latest blocks are fetched
and optimistic candidate blocks are passed to a callback (log for now).
This helps accelerate syncing in the future (optimistic sync).
Introduces a new library for syncing using libp2p based light client
sync protocol, and adds a new `nimbus_light_client` executable that uses
this library for syncing. The new executable emits log messages when
new beacon block headers are received, and is integrated into testing.
* SSZ `[]` -> `mitem`
* `[]` -> `item`
immutable access via mutable instance cannot rely on template
overloading, and `[]` cannot be a `func` because of special seq handling
in compiler.
* remove deprecated JSON-RPC server
* keep the command-line options around as no-ops, temporarily
* service -> server; JSON-RPC is still used elsewhere
* document static vs dynamic range checking requirements
* add `vindices` iterator to iterate over valid validator indices in a
state
* clean up spec comments in general
* fixup

Incorporates the latest changes to the light client sync protocol based
on Devconnect AMS feedback. Note that this breaks compatibility with the
previous prototype, due to changes to data structures and endpoints.
See https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/pull/2802
Since we were not verifying BLS signature in blocks that we produce,
we were failing to notice that some deposits need to be ignored (due
to having an invalid signature). Processing these deposits resulted
in a different ending state after the state transition which caused
our blocks to be rejected by the network.
* Some Web3Signer versions insist replying with text/plain messages
* When reading blocks, the Web3Signer uses upper-case fork identifiers
instead of lower-case identifies like the Beacon API.
Other changes:
* logtrace can now verify sync committee messages and contributions
* Many unnecessary use of pairs() have been removed for consistency
* Map 40x BN response codes to BeaconNodeStatus.Incompatible in the VC
Other fixes:
* Fix bit rot in the `make prater-dev-deposit` target.
* Correct content-type in the responses of the Nimbus signing node
* Invalid JSON payload was being sent in the web3signer requests
* era file verification
Implement and document era file verification
* era file states now come with block applied for easier verification
* clarify conflicting version handling
* document verification requirements
* remove count from name, use start-era, end-root to discover range
* remove obsolete todo
* abstract out block root loading
Updated outdated presets / configs / REST config to v1.1.10 specs.
- `TERMINAL_BLOCK_HASH_ACTIVATION_EPOCH` and `PROPOSER_SCORE_BOOST` are
not yet used in `eth2-networks`, added configurability as TODOs.
- `MIN_ANCHOR_POW_BLOCK_DIFFICULTY` is no longer needed, put on ignore
list as some Altair devnets still reference it.

* `gnosis-chain` -> `gnosis`
Use same name as LH/Teku throughout
* fixes#3504
* fixes large stack temporary that can cause crashes during genesis
detection
Some upstream repos still need fixes, but this gets us close enough that
style hints can be enabled by default.
In general, "canonical" spellings are preferred even if they violate
nep-1 - this applies in particular to spec-related stuff like
`genesis_validators_root` which appears throughout the codebase.
* era: load blocks and states
Era files contain finalized history and can be thought of as an
alternative source for block and state data that allows clients to avoid
syncing this information from the P2P network - the P2P network is then
used to "top up" the client with the most recent data. They can be
freely shared in the community via whatever means (http, torrent, etc)
and serve as a permanent cold store of consensus data (and, after the
merge, execution data) for history buffs and bean counters alike.
This PR gently introduces support for loading blocks and states in two
cases: block requests from rest/p2p and frontfilling when doing
checkpoint sync.
The era files are used as a secondary source if the information is not
found in the database - compared to the database, there are a few key
differences:
* the database stores the block indexed by block root while the era file
indexes by slot - the former is used only in rest, while the latter is
used both by p2p and rest.
* when loading blocks from era files, the root is no longer trivially
available - if it is needed, it must either be computed (slow) or cached
(messy) - the good news is that for p2p requests, it is not needed
* in era files, "framed" snappy encoding is used while in the database
we store unframed snappy - for p2p2 requests, the latter requires
recompression while the former could avoid it
* front-filling is the process of using era files to replace backfilling
- in theory this front-filling could happen from any block and
front-fills with gaps could also be entertained, but our backfilling
algorithm cannot take advantage of this because there's no (simple) way
to tell it to "skip" a range.
* front-filling, as implemented, is a bit slow (10s to load mainnet): we
load the full BeaconState for every era to grab the roots of the blocks
- it would be better to partially load the state - as such, it would
also be good to be able to partially decompress snappy blobs
* lookups from REST via root are served by first looking up a block
summary in the database, then using the slot to load the block data from
the era file - however, there needs to be an option to create the
summary table from era files to fully support historical queries
To test this, `ncli_db` has an era file exporter: the files it creates
should be placed in an `era` folder next to `db` in the data directory.
What's interesting in particular about this setup is that `db` remains
as the source of truth for security purposes - it stores the latest
synced head root which in turn determines where a node "starts" its
consensus participation - the era directory however can be freely shared
between nodes / people without any (significant) security implications,
assuming the era files are consistent / not broken.
There's lots of future improvements to be had:
* we can drop the in-memory `BlockRef` index almost entirely - at this
point, resident memory usage of Nimbus should drop to a cool 500-600 mb
* we could serve era files via REST trivially: this would drop backfill
times to whatever time it takes to download the files - unlike the
current implementation that downloads block by block, downloading an era
at a time almost entirely cuts out request overhead
* we can "reasonably" recreate detailed state history from almost any
point in time, turning an O(slot) process into O(1) effectively - we'll
still need caches and indices to do this with sufficient efficiency for
the rest api, but at least it cuts the whole process down to minutes
instead of hours, for arbitrary points in time
* CI: ignore failures with Nim-1.6 (temporary)
* test fixes

Adds `LightClientProcessor` as the pendant to `BlockProcessor` while
operating in light client mode. Note that a similar mechanism based on
async futures is used for interoperability with existing infrastructure,
despite light client object validation being done synchronously.
