* 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:
* 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.
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.
* 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
* 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
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.
For consistency with other options, use a common prefix for light client
data configuration options.
* `--serve-light-client-data` --> `--light-client-data-serve`
* `--import-light-client-data` --> `--light-client-data-import-mode`
No deprecation of the old identifiers as they were only sparingly used
and all usage can be easily updated without interferance.
Adds a `LightClient` instance to the beacon node as preparation to
accelerate syncing in the future (optimistic sync).
- `--light-client-enable` turns on the feature
- `--light-client-trusted-block-root` configures block to start from
If no block root is configured, light client tracks DAG `finalizedHead`.
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
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.
* Initial commit.
* Fix current test suite.
* Fix keymanager api test.
* Fix wss_sim.
* Add more keystore_management tests.
* Recover deleted isEmptyDir().
* Add `HttpHostUri` distinct type.
Move keymanager calls away from rest_beacon_calls to rest_keymanager_calls.
Add REST serialization of RemoteKeystore and Keystore object.
Add tests for Remote Keystore management API.
Add tests for Keystore management API (Add keystore).
Fix serialzation issues.
* Fix test to use HttpHostUri instead of Uri.
* Add links to specification in comments.
* Remove debugging echoes.
