I have added:
```go
{
ID: stages.BorHeimdall,
Description: "Download Bor-specific data from Heimdall",
Forward: func(firstCycle bool, badBlockUnwind bool, s *StageState, u Unwinder, tx kv.RwTx, logger log.Logger) error {
if badBlockUnwind {
return nil
}
return BorHeimdallForward(s, u, ctx, tx, borHeimdallCfg, true, logger)
},
Unwind: func(firstCycle bool, u *UnwindState, s *StageState, tx kv.RwTx, logger log.Logger) error {
return BorHeimdallUnwind(u, ctx, s, tx, borHeimdallCfg)
},
Prune: func(firstCycle bool, p *PruneState, tx kv.RwTx, logger log.Logger) error {
return BorHeimdallPrune(p, ctx, tx, borHeimdallCfg)
},
},
```
To MiningStages as well as Default as otherwise bor events are not added
when the block producer creates new blocks.
There are a couple of questions I have around this implementation:
* Is this the right place to add this
* As the state is also executed when the default stage is processed ther
is some duplicate processing for the block producing node.
* There is a duplicated call to heimdall which could be removed if the
stages share state - but its not clear if we want to do this.
* I don't think the mining stage needs to prune as this will be
replicated in the default iteration
This can be tested using the devnet with the following arguments:
```
--chain bor-devnet --bor.localheimdall --scenarios state-sync
```
This will generate sync events via an ethereum devnet which are
transmitted to bor chain and will be executed at the end of the snapshot
delay, which results in events generated from the bor chain. This tests
the whole sync, block generation, event lifecycle. As it needs to wait
for sprints to end after a sufficient delay it is quite slow to run.
Small fixes to PR #8064:
- Don't set cancunTime for Holesky – otherwise we'll have to overwrite
it later using the `--override.cancun` flag
- We don't have block snapshots for Holesky yet
- Add Holesky to `isChainIDPoS`
See https://github.com/eth-clients/holesky/pull/68
The current logic is flawed, because it drops all peers that are less
synced.
It is valid to return empty responses by the eth spec.
A proper logic should penalize from the context of the sync process,
where enough "reputation" data is collected about a peer.
In order to be able to connect to erigon 2.48 peers that have
--sentry.drop-useless-peers enabled,
this adds a check to not reply with an empty headers list.
If we reply with an empty list, we're going to be considered useless and
kicked.
Once enough of erigon nodes are updated in the network past this commit,
this check should be removed,
because it is totally acceptable to return an empty list by the eth
spec.
Currently PropagateNewBlockHashes and BroadcastNewBlock
selects a subset of all sentries by taking a `Sqrt(len(sentries))`,
and then for each sentry SendMessageToRandomPeers
selects a subset of its peers by taking `Sqrt(len(peerInfos))`.
This behaviour limits the broadcast scope with a lot of peers, e.g. 100
becomes 10,
but is not great with very few peers, or if the message is very
important
to broadcast to everyone, which is the case of bor validator/proposer
nodes.
* send to all sentries in both BroadcastNewBlock and PropagateNewBlockHashes
* remove peerCountConstrained sqrt logic in SendMessageToRandomPeers
* add maxPeers provider func as a parameter to MultiClient
* default it to 10 for eth and 0 (unlimited) for bor validators

because bor doesn't have headers,
ReadCurrentHeader returns nil as expected
refactor isChainPoS to only call ReadCurrentHeader/ReadTd if needed and
use chain config IDs
Miracoulously, hive tests pass first try. YIPPIE.
Also for the future, I added `--experimental.modular` which enables a
secondary engine API for consensus separation.
Now block building is responsibility of the execution module.
This fixes an indexing panic when bor sync event logs are returned via a
subscription.
It applies the same tx computation that is used by the getlogs rpc call
An update to the devnet to introduce a local heimdall to facilitate
multiple validators without the need for an external process, and hence
validator registration/staking etc.
In this initial release only span generation is supported.
It has the following changes:
* Introduction of a local grpc heimdall interface
* Allocation of accounts via a devnet account generator ()
* Introduction on 'Services' for the network config
"--chain bor-devnet --bor.localheimdall" will run a 2 validator network
with a local service
"--chain bor-devnet --bor.withoutheimdall" will sun a single validator
with no heimdall service as before
