When using trusted node sync with light client (`--trusted-block-root`),
the trust assumption on the server is reduced to solely be responsible
for data availability, but not data correctness. This means that we must
check block proposer signatures against the downloaded checkpoint, as
they are not covered by the block root.
Note that this lowers the backfill speed when using LC based CP sync
due to the extra checks, by about 60% for me.
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.
* low attestations during epoch should instafail in CI; dbg -> warn level on newPayload log
* improve newPayload warning message when no valid EL connected
* reduce potential spam; make log spelling more consistent; use fatal/quit
Post-Deneb, when the request manager receives a missing block from a
peer, it needs to check if the corresponding blobs are available, and
if so pass them along. If they aren't available, the newly-fetched
block must be put in blobless quarantine (while the blobs are
retrieved, coming in next commit).
The consensus-spec-tests already cover the scenarios of our custom test
runner, so the custom tests can be removed. Also cleans up unused config
flags and related unreachable logic.
* Fix durationToNextSlot() and durationToNextEpoch() to work not only after Genesis, but also before Genesis.
Change VC pre-genesis behavior, add runPreGenesisWaitingLoop() and runGenesisWaitingLoop().
Add checkedWaitForSlot() and checkedWaitForNextSlot() to strictly check current time and print warnings.
Fix VC main loop to use checkedWaitForNextSlot().
Fix attestation_service to run attestations processing only until the end of the duty slot.
Change attestation_service main loop to use checkedWaitForNextSlot().
Change block_service to properly cancel all the pending proposer tasks.
Use checkedWaitForSlot to wait for block proposal.
Fix block_service waitForBlockPublished() to be compatible with BN.
Fix sync_committee_service to avoid asyncSpawn.
Fix sync_committee_service to run only until the end of the duty slot.
Fix sync_committee_service to use checkedWaitForNextSlot().
* Refactor validator logging.
Fix aggregated attestation publishing missing delay.
* Fix doppelganger detection should not start at pre-genesis time.
Fix fallback service sync status spam.
Fix false `sync committee subnets subscription error`.
* Address review comments part 1.
* Address review comments.
* Fix condition issue for near genesis waiting loop.
* Address review comments.
* Address review comments 2.
The 'peek' name was incorrect as it was actually removing from the
table. It was consequently used incorrectly in block processing: the
blobless block wasn't returned to the table when it should be.
* Simplify block quarantine blobless
The quarantine blobless table was initially keyed off of (Eth2Digest,
ValidatorSig). This was modelled off the orphan table. The presence of
the signature in the key is necessary for orphans, because we can't
verify the signature for an orphan. That is not the case for a
blobless block, where the signature can be verified.
So this PR changes the blobless block table to be keyed off a
Eth2Digest only. This simplifies the retrieval and handling of
blobless blocks.
* review feedback
* allow trusted node sync based on LC trusted block root
Extends `trustedNodeSync` with a new `--trusted-block-root` option that
allows initializing a light client. No `--state-id` must be provided.
The beacon node will then use this light client to obtain the latest
finalized state from the remote server in a trust-minimized fashion.
Note that the provided `--trusted-block-root` should be somewhat recent,
and that security precautions such as comparing the state root against
block explorers is still recommended.
* fix
* workaround for `valueOr` limitations
* reduce magic numbers
* digest len > context len for readability
* move `cstring` conversion to caller
* avoid abbreviations
* `return` codestyle
* add `formatIt` for `ForkedLightClientXyz`
Even though the `ForkyLightClientXyz` have `formatIt`, they do not apply
when logging `ForkedLightClientXyz`, leading to large logs at times.
Defining `formatIt` for `ForkedLightClientXyz` fixes this.
* exports not needed
Two fixes to `/eth/v1/debug/fork_choice`:
- `validity` enum is expected to be serialized as string instead of int
- `data` wrapper is not expected for this endpoint
* part 2 of the initial doc fixes
- spelling fixes
- grammar fixes
- em-dashes should be em-dashes (`—`): double dashes (`--`) are not rendered properly
- reduce overusage of em-dashes, some of those should be separate sentences
- use the correct syntax for notes, tips and warnings
- every sentence is in a separate line (helps with future diffs)
- add missing dots at the end of list items
- fix some lists
* sentences on separate lines in the remaining files
