* remove web3 url prompt in launcher script
The interactive prompt for web3 has outlived its utility as we now load
url:s from command line params and config files, preventing the prompt
from correctly detecting when it's needed.
Also, after the merge, a JWT secret will (likely) be needed.
* log notice when web3 url is missing
* fix docs to not mention default that doesn't exist
* fix scripts to properly quote arguments
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
Combines the LC data configuration options (serve / importMode), the
callbacks (finality / optimistic LC update) as well as the cache storing
light client data, into a new `LightClientDataStore` structure.
Also moves the structure into a light client specific file.
* 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
`m.depositsChain.blocks.len` may change during `startEth1Syncing`. If
that happened, an additional check now ensures that `scratchMerkleizer`
was initialized before attempting to use it.
If database access errors are encountered while proccessing LC data,
track the section which was accessed without errors so that the rest
may be attempted to be re-indexed later.
Ensures that all intermediate blocks are reported if a small gap is
encountered when downloading optimistic blocks. Gaps may occur when
a block is missed and still downloading, or when EL processing is slow.
If the gap exceeds 1 epoch, optimistic block stream jumps to latest.
* check for and log gossip broadcast failure
* switch notices to warns; update LC variables regardless
* don't both return a Result and log sending error
* add metrics counter for failed-due-to-no-peers and removed unnecessary async
* don't report failure of sync committee messages
* remove redundant metric
* document metric being incremented
The initial sync committee period follows a different finality rule than
the other ones. Instead of next sync committee finalizing as soon as the
`finalizedHead.slot >= period.start_slot` have to use Altair start slot.
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.
Corrects an off-by-1 in the reported sync percentage computation.
New logic is based on `SyncQueue.total` and `SyncQueue.progress`
with `pivot` instead of `sq.startSlot`.
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).
