rework spec imports (#2779)
The spec imports are a mess to work with, so this branch cleans them up
a bit to ensure that we avoid generic sandwitches and that importing
stuff generally becomes easier.

* reexport crypto/digest/presets because these are part of the public
symbol set of the rest of the spec types
* don't export `merge` types from `base` - this causes circular deps
* fix circular deps in `ssz/spec_types` - this is the first step in
disentangling ssz from spec
* be explicit about phase0 vs altair - longer term, `altair` will become
the "natural" type set, then merge and so on, so no point in giving
`phase0` special preferential treatment

Introduction

ncli is a set of low level / debugging tools to interact with the nimbus beacon chain specification implementation, simliar to zcli. With it, you explore SSZ, make state transitions and compute hash tree roots.

Tools

  • transition: Perform state transition given a pre-state and a block to apply (both in SSZ format)
  • hash_tree_root: Print tree root of an SSZ object
  • pretty: Pretty-print SSZ object as JSON

Building

Follow the instructions from nimbus-eth2

git clone https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2.git
cd nimbus-eth2
make

Usage

# Build with minimal config
../env.sh nim c -d:const_preset=minimal ncli_transition
# Build with mainnet config
../env.sh nim c -d:const_preset=mainnet ncli_transition

# Run..
./ncli_transition --help
