This PR causes a few new warnings to appear - these are harmless but
will need addressing separately as they span several libraries.
* new asyncraises syntax
* asyncraises support in several modules
* `sink` usage reduces spurious copying
* `?` compatiblity for `async` + `results`
* remove `-d:chronosStrictException` (obsolete)
* make `MIN_EPOCHS_FOR_BLOB_SIDECARS_REQUESTS` configurable
Gnosis uses custom `MIN_EPOCHS_FOR_BLOB_SIDECARS_REQUESTS` to account
for the faster slot timing, so that blobs still remain available for
roughly the same amount of real time.
Also extend REST config endpoint with full config form `v1.4.0-beta.4`,
and extend compatibility checks when loading configs to reduce warnings.
For symmetry with `forkyState` when using `withState`, and to avoid
problems with shadowing of `blck` when using `withBlck` in `template`,
also rename the injected `blck` to `forkyBlck`.

* implement EIP-7514 for Deneb: Add Max Epoch Churn Limit
Cap activations per epoch according to EIP-7514:
- https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-7514
- https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/pull/3499
* apply proposer boost to first block in case of equivocation
Implement spec changes to fork choice; this only affects equivocation
when multiple blocks are signed for the same slot. Regular operation
is not changed.

* bump test vectors to v1.4.0-beta.2-hotfix

From old interop tests, a mock `eth1BlockHash` was defined in `base`.
To avoid accidental use by Nimbus, move to `tests` and rename it to
`mockEth1BlockHash`.
* move file loading out of timed ncli section to focus benchmark on
deserialization rather than disk loading
* JSON loading fix included in bump, but does not practically happen
since we generally don't load hashlist from JSON
This PR removes a few hundred thousand temporary seq allocations during
state transition - in particular, the flag seq was allocated per
validator while committees are computed per attestation.
* speed up state/block loading
When loading blocks and states from db/era, we currently redundantly
check their CRC32 - for a state, this costs 50ms of loading time
presently (110mb uncompressed size) on a decent laptop.
* remove `maxDecompressedDbRecordSize` - not actually used on recent
data since we store the framed format - also, we're in luck: we blew
past the limit quite some time ago
* fix obsolete exception-based error checking
* avoid `zeroMem` when reading from era store
see https://github.com/status-im/nim-snappy/pull/22 for benchmarks
* bump snappy
* Add new REST endpoints to monitor REST server connections and new chronos metrics.
* Bump head versions of chronos and presto.
* Bump chronos with regression fix.
* Remove outdated tests which was supposed to test pipeline mode.
* Disable pipeline mode in resttest.
* Update copyright year.
* Upgrade test_signing_node to start use AsyncProcess instead of std library's osproc.
Bump chronos to check graceful shutdown.
* Update AllTests.
* Bump chronos.
We have several modules that import `nim-eth` for the sole purpose of
its `keys.newRng` function. This function is meanwhile a simple wrapper
around `nim-bearssl`'s `HmacDrbgContext.new()`, so the import doesn't
really serve a use anymore. Replace `keys.newRng` with the direct call
to reduce `nim-eth` imports.
We already updated the field order in the actual `ExecutionPayload`,
but in init code and tests / logs etc we still used the old order.
Update those occurrences to also match the field order in the struct.
Furthermore, add `excess_data_gas` to last entry in `test_eth1_monitor`.
The `SAFE_SLOTS_TO_UPDATE_JUSTIFIED` constant is no longer used as the
bouncing attack fix was removed:
https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/pull/3290
Note: Some test networks still define the constant, ignoring the config
constant for now until it is no longer used.
Post-Capella, historical roots are computed from historical summaries
instead of being directly stored in the beacon state.
Slightly messy to pass both lists around - this is done to avoid
computing the historical root unnecessarily.
Just the variable, not yet `lcDataForkAtStateFork` / `atStateFork`.
- Shorten comment in `light_client.nim` to keep line width
- Do not rename `stateFork` mention in `runProposalForkchoiceUpdated`.
- Do not rename `stateFork` in `getStateField(dag.headState, fork)`
Rest is just a mechanical mass replace
* 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
* 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.
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.
In SSZ, `uint32` is used for offsets, effectively limiting the size of
an SSZ entry to 2**32 bytes.
Also, `uint48` isn't a valid SSZ type, so the header was not correctly
defined according to the SSZ spec - the extra 2 bytes are left for
future expansion instead.
* 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 a database has been pruned, we can still export the non-pruned part
- running the era exported together with pruning allows archiving the
full ethereum history for future reference without wasting space in the
database.
* use logging for reporting era write progress
* less noise when skipping existing files
* load blocks from era store also when working with `ncli_db`
* write to temporary file then rename when era is complete, to reduce
risk of corruption
* also avoids loading the in-progress era file when writing and
reading from the same era folder
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).
* 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
Since the sync committee duties are no longer updated on every slot
and previously the sync committee aggregators selection proofs were
generated during the duties update, this now resulted in the client
using stale selection proofs (they must be generated at each slot).
The fix consists of moving the selection proof generation logic in
a different function which is properly executed on each slot.
Other changes:
* The logtrace tool has been enhanced with a framework for adding
new simpler log aggregation and analysis algorithms.
The default CI testnet simulation will now ensure that the blocks
in the network have reasonable sync committee participation.
* Allow chain dag without genesis / block
This PR enables the initialization of the dag without access to blocks
or genesis state - it is a prerequisite for implementing a number of
interesting features:
* checkpoint sync without any block download
* pruning of blocks and states
* backfill checkpoint block
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.
