When running as Gnosis-chain binary the config was no longer adjustable. Restores loading custom configs when running as Gnosis-chain binary, as long as the following keys remain same: - SLOTS_PER_EPOCH=16 - SECONDS_PER_SLOT=5 - BASE_REWARD_FACTOR=25 - EPOCHS_PER_SYNC_COMMITTEE_PERIOD=512 This allows running the Gnosis-chain binary on custom test networks.
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
