* 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
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.
This updates `nim-ssz-serialization` to
`3db6cc0f282708aca6c290914488edd832971d61`.
Notable changes:
- Use `uint64` for `GeneralizedIndex`
- Add support for building merkle multiproofs
As of https://github.com/status-im/nim-eth/pull/379 `nim-eth` defines a
couple static test cases for merkle proof verification.
Since the EF has defined a `is_valid_merkle_branch` function in the spec
we are no longer using the custom implementation from `nim-eth`, but the
tests were never ported to target the new implementation. This patch now
follows up on that and integrates those tests from `nim-eth`.
Similar to the existing `RewardInfo`, this PR adds the infrastructure
needed to export epoch processing information from altair+. Because
accounting is done somewhat differently, the PR uses a fork-specific
object to extrct the information in order to make the cost on the spec
side low.
* RewardInfo -> EpochInfo, ForkedEpochInfo
* use array for computing new sync committee
* avoid repeated total active balance computations in block processing
* simplify proposer index check
* simplify epoch transition tests
* pre-compute base increment and reuse in epoch processing, and a few
other small optimizations
This PR introduces the type and does the heavy lifting in terms of
refactoring - the tools that use the accounting will need separate PR:s
(as well as refinements to the exportred information)
Adds a function that constructs a Merkle proof for a generalized index.
This will be used during light client sync to update light clients with
a new state (see NEXT_SYNC_COMMITTEE_INDEX / FINALIZED_ROOT_INDEX).
* Introduce unittest2 and junit reports
* fix XML path
* don't combine multiple CI runs
* fixup
* public combined report also
