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`.
This PR renames the existing `validator_duties` to `beacon_validators`
and in doing so, names validators running inside the beacon node process
"beacon validators" while those running the VC can be referred to as
"client validators" to disambiguate the two.
The existing `validator_duties` instead takes on a new responsibility:
as a home for logic shared between beacon and client validators - ie
code that provides consistency in implementation and behavior between
the two modes of operation.
Not only does this simplify reasoning about where to put code -it also
reduces the number of dependencies the validator client has from ~5000
to ~3000 modules (!) according to `nim genDepend` significantly reducing
compile times.
- Remove unnecessary `Defect` references
- Remove spurious `SerializationError` references
- Remove duplicate `writeValue` template in `keystore.nim`;
same implementation already exists a bit further above in same file.
* Add support for POST /eth/v2/beacon/blocks
* More descriptive errors
* Address review feedback
* Return 500 (not 400) for a missing implementation case
We know the aggregate publickey of a fully participating sync committee.
Because participation is typically very high (>95%), it is faster to
start from that aggregate publickey and subtract the individual keys of
non-participants, than summing up all the participating pubkeys.
To obtain the correct `transactions_root` and `withdrawals_root`,
it is necessary to process execution block header. Light client updates
don't contain the correct MPT roots.
* async batch verification
When batch verification is done, the main thread is blocked reducing
concurrency.
With this PR, the new thread signalling primitive in chronos is used to
offload the full batch verification process to a separate thread
allowing the main threads to continue async operations while the other
threads verify signatures.
Similar to previous behavior, the number of ongoing batch verifications
is capped to prevent runaway resource usage.
In addition to the asynchronous processing, 3 addition changes help
drive throughput:
* A loop is used for batch accumulation: this prevents a stampede of
small batches in eager mode where both the eager and the scheduled batch
runner would pick batches off the queue, prematurely picking "fresh"
batches off the queue
* An additional small wait is introduced for small batches - this helps
create slightly larger batches which make better used of the increased
concurrency
* Up to 2 batches are scheduled to the threadpool during high pressure,
reducing startup latency for the threads
Together, these changes increase attestation verification throughput
under load up to 30%.
* fixup
* Update submodules
* fix blst build issues (and a PIC warning)
* bump

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.
We currently call `onSlotEnd` whenever all in-BN validator duties are
completed. VC validator duties are not awaited. When `onSlotEnd` is
processed close to the slot start, a VC may therefore miss duties.
Adding a delay before `onSlotEnd` improves this situation.
The logic can be optimized further if `ActionTracker` would track
`knownValidators` from REST separately from in-process ones.
* Make VC able to understand any type of `/eth/v1/config/spec` response without any changes in source code.
Update compatibility checking.
Now VC is able to obtain any constant from `spec` call.
* Remove RestSpecVC declaration.
* Initial commit.
* Add algorithm in comment.
Remove delays.
Fix logging statement issues.
Change update from epoch to slot.
* Obtain timestamp earlier.
* Add processing delays into algorithm.
* Fix time offset logging to produce integers instead of strings.
* Address review comments.
* Fix copyright year.
Fix updateStatus().
* Remove fields from Slot start log statement.
Fix issues when BN do not support Nimbus Extensions.
Rename metric name and type change.
* Add beacon role to disable time offset check manually.
* require sync committee supermajority in CI
To better catch problems with sync committee messages in CI, extend
local testnet simulation to also verify that each block is signed
by a supermajority of the sync committee.
Requires #5083 and #5084
* lint
Override default Json parsing for keystore case objects to avoid
`CaseTransition` logic to be emitted. When parsing the discriminator,
reinitialize the entire object instead of implicitly changing it,
to avoid UB and also possible oversights when extending the object.
See https://github.com/status-im/nim-serialization/pull/59
`nim-serialization` is tagged with `{.raises:[SerializationError].}` so
it is no longer sufficient to catch `SszError` in some situations.
`SszError` inherits from `SerializationError`, so broadening the caught
exception types can be done now, to enable bumping `nim-serialization`.
https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/pull/5043#issuecomment-1584227993#5061 is also needed to bump `nim-serialization`.
Cleanup for `ProveField` warnings in `keystore` module.
Note that `ProveField` is disabled by default in makefile, but sometimes
these pop up when doing a regular `nim c`, and cleaning these may allow
enabling the warning in some future.
* split file loading from parsing in helpers
In `readSszForkedHashedBeaconState` and `readRuntimeConfig`, split the
part that loads the file from the part that parses the file. The parsing
portion can be reused with that, e.g., when loading from the network.
* add missing export marker
* Refactor api.nim to provide more informative failure reasons.
Distinct between unexpected data and unexpected code.
Deprecate Option[T] usage.
* Fix 400 for produceBlindedBlock().
Get proper string conversion for strategy.
* Fix SSZ encoded versions of ProduceBlockResponseV2, ProduceBlockResponseV2 can be received and decoded.
Fix done() warnings.
Bump presto.
* Fix compilation error with new presto.
Use TcpNoDelay option for Web3Signer.
* Fix produceBlockV2() should provide SSZ responses too.
* Address block encoding issue.
* Fix signing test.
* Bump presto.
* Address review comments.
Use separate functions per format when parsing LC data from REST.
This allows to process events from the eventstream more directly,
as they are always JSON not SSZ. And also makes the code cleaner.
Assigning to fields of `var` case objects emits `ProveField` warnings.
We disable them in `make` based builds but they may pop up when building
manually with `nim c`. Suppress them for the `keyGen` function, as we
assign to `result.value` separately from `result.ok` to avoid copying.
* `ProveField` cleanups in `forks`
Some more cleanup for `ProveField` warnings in `forks` module.
Note that `ProveField` is disabled by default in makefile, but sometimes
these pop up when doing a regular `nim c`, and cleaning these may allow
enabling the warning in some future.
* use syntax that works if passed to multiple args of call
* Initial commit with both methods enabled: `poll` and `event`.
* Address review comments.
* Address review comments.
Fix copyright years.
* After bump fixes.
* handle one of the `ProveField` warnings
When assigning between `ForkyHashedBeaconState`, suppress `ProveField`
warning, as `tgt.kind == src.kind` was already checked, but compiler
doesn't understand that (as we only `case tgt.kind`).
* Update beacon_chain/spec/forks.nim
* Update beacon_chain/spec/forks.nim
`SyncCommitteeMsgPool` grouped messages by their `beacon_block_root`.
This is problematic around sync committee period boundaries and forks.
Around sync committee period boundaries, members from both the current
and next sync committee may sign the same `beacon_block_root`; mixing
the signatures from both committees together is a mistake. Likewise,
around fork transitions, the `signing_root` changes, so those messages
also need to be segregated.
When an uncached `ShufflingRef` is requested, we currently replay state
which can take several seconds. Acceleration is possible by:
1. Start from any state with locked-in `get_active_validator_indices`.
Any blocks / slots applied to such a state can only affect that
result for future epochs, so are viable for querying target epoch.
`compute_activation_exit_epoch(state.slot.epoch) > target.epoch`
2. Determine highest common ancestor among `state` and `target.blck`.
At the ancestor slot, same rules re `get_active_validator_indices`.
`compute_activation_exit_epoch(ancestorSlot.epoch) > target.epoch`
3. We now have a `state` that shares history with `target.blck` up
through a common ancestor slot. Any blocks / slots that the `state`
contains, which are not part of the `target.blck` history, affect
`get_active_validator_indices` at epochs _after_ `target.epoch`.
4. Select `state.randao_mixes[N]` that is closest to common ancestor.
Either direction is fine (above / below ancestor).
5. From that RANDAO mix, mix in / out all RANDAO reveals from blocks
in-between. This is just an XOR operation, so fully reversible.
`mix = mix xor SHA256(blck.message.body.randao_reveal)`
6. Compute the attester dependent slot from `target.epoch`.
`if epoch >= 2: (target.epoch - 1).start_slot - 1 else: GENESIS_SLOT`
7. Trace back from `target.blck` to the attester dependent slot.
We now have the destination for which we want to obtain RANDAO.
8. Mix in all RANDAO reveals from blocks up through the `dependentBlck`.
Same method, no special handling necessary for epoch transitions.
9. Combine `get_active_validator_indices` from `state` at `target.epoch`
with the recovered RANDAO value at `dependentBlck` to obtain the
requested shuffling, and construct the `ShufflingRef` without replay.
* more tests and simplify logic
* test with different number of deposits per branch

* fix SSZ response for `produceBlindedBlock`
In `produceBlindedBlock`, we sent the `ForkedBlindedBeaconBlock` when
requested to reply in SSZ format. However, expected result is just the
inner `ForkyBlindedBeaconBlock` together with `eth-consensus-version`.
Note: We do not use SSZ format in our VC for this endpoint at this time,
which explains why we haven't noticed earlier.
* fix Altair/Phase0
* final portion of non-trivial v1.3.0 bumps
Updates unchanged logic to latest v1.3.0 consensus-specs refs,
and cleans up surrounding sections / syncs comments, and so on.
```
https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/(blob|tree)/(?!v1\.3\.0/)
```
* lint
* linebreak
* cleanup `state_transition_epoch` and bump to v1.3.0
More v1.3.0 consensus-specs bumps, focused on `state_transition_epoch`.
Also fixed `current_epoch` spurious style check warning, and cleanup.
* Update beacon_chain/spec/state_transition_epoch.nim
Make intent clearer about when to expect `bls_to_execution_changes`,
and replace test-time errors with compile-time errors if the field
is renamed or goes away in the future.
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.
Only comment changes:
- Bump refs to final v1.3.0 spec
- Align documentation style in various `BeaconState` structures
- Add `justification_bits` / `historical_roots` comment from spec
- Remove `previous_justified_checkpoint` from non-phase0 (same as spec)
- Cleanup some `Modified` tags
Add compatibility with https://github.com/ethereum/beacon-APIs/pull/290
to the beacon node. Behaviour when configured with multiple ELs is not
specified; intention suggests to indicate whether all ELs are offline.
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
* 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
* Refactor nimbus_signing_node to support Unix signals.
* Fix SN unable to close REST server properly.
* Fix `keys`, `deposit` and `validator_registration` endpoints issues.
Add getValidatorExitSignature() and getDepositMessageSignature() to validator_pool.
* Add /reload endpoint and implementation.
Fix signData to not cancel `timer`.
Fix validator_pool should clear attachedValidators table.
* Diva protocol enhancement implementation.
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
* Fix issue when VC unable to detect errors properly and act accordingly.
Switch all API functions used by VC to RestPlainResponse, this allows us to print errors returned by BN servers.
* Fix issue when prepareBeaconCommitteeSubnet() do not perform actions when BN is optimistically synced only.
* Fix Defect issue.
* Fix submit/publish returning `false` when operation was successful.
* Address review comments.
* Fix some client calls unable to receive `execution_optimistic` field, mark BN as OptSynced when such request has been made.
* Adjust warning levels.

* Remove use of beacon_block_and_blobs_sidecar topic
This topic goes away with decoupled blocks and blobs.
* remove use of getBeaconBlockAndBlobsSidecarTopic from test
* update nimbus_light_client.nim
This commit removes ForkySignedBeaconBlockMaybeBlobs and all
references. I tried to pull that thread only as little as was needed
to get rid of it. Left a placeholder BlobSidecar array (in lieu of
Opt[BlobsSidecar]) in a few places; this will be used as we rebuild
the decoupled implementation.
* 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.
