implement forked merge state/block support (#2890)
* implement forked state/block support

* merge support for containsOrphan; import cleanup; 80-column lines

* add merge block header operations and slot sanity fixture

* add epoch state transition tests; implement is_valid_gas_limit(), is_merge_block(), is_execution_enabled(), and compute_timestamp_at_slot()

* implement process_execution_payload() and add merge deposit operations tests

* add merge block sanity tests

* add merge case to syncCommitteeParticipants

* v1.1.0-beta.5 updates

* reduce getTestStates-based memory usage; don't try to REST-serialize ExecutionPayload transactions without underlying support

* add execution payload tests; switch var to let in tests/official/

Networking

This folders hold a collection of modules to:

  • configure the Eth2 P2P network
  • discover, connect, and maintain quality Eth2 peers

Data received is handed other to the ../gossip_processing modules for validation.

Security concerns

  • Collusion: part of the peer selection must be kept random. This avoids peers bringing all their friends and colluding against a beacon node.
  • Denial-of-service: The beacon node must provide ways to handle burst of data that may come:
    • from malicious nodes trying to DOS us
    • from long periods of non-finality, creating lots of forks, attestations, forks
