* Support for Gnosis Chain `make gnosis-chain-build` will build the Nimbus gnosis chain binary, stored in `build/nimbus_beacon_node_for_gnosis_chain`. `make gnosis-chain` will connect to the network. Other changes: * Restore compilation with -d:has_genesis_detection * Removed Makefile target related to testnet0 and testnet1 * Added more debug logging for failed peer handshakes * Report misconfigured builds which try to embed network metadata that is incompatible with the currently selected const preset. * Don't bundle network metadata in minimal builds, as they are not compatible
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
