[EIP-3030]: https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-3030 [Web3Signer]: https://consensys.github.io/web3signer/web3signer-eth2.html ## Issue Addressed Resolves #2498 ## Proposed Changes Allows the VC to call out to a [Web3Signer] remote signer to obtain signatures. ## Additional Info ### Making Signing Functions `async` To allow remote signing, I needed to make all the signing functions `async`. This caused a bit of noise where I had to convert iterators into `for` loops. In `duties_service.rs` there was a particularly tricky case where we couldn't hold a write-lock across an `await`, so I had to first take a read-lock, then grab a write-lock. ### Move Signing from Core Executor Whilst implementing this feature, I noticed that we signing was happening on the core tokio executor. I suspect this was causing the executor to temporarily lock and occasionally trigger some HTTP timeouts (and potentially SQL pool timeouts, but I can't verify this). Since moving all signing into blocking tokio tasks, I noticed a distinct drop in the "atttestations_http_get" metric on a Prater node:  I think this graph indicates that freeing the core executor allows the VC to operate more smoothly. ### Refactor TaskExecutor I noticed that the `TaskExecutor::spawn_blocking_handle` function would fail to spawn tasks if it were unable to obtain handles to some metrics (this can happen if the same metric is defined twice). It seemed that a more sensible approach would be to keep spawning tasks, but without metrics. To that end, I refactored the function so that it would still function without metrics. There are no other changes made. ## TODO - [x] Restructure to support multiple signing methods. - [x] Add calls to remote signer from VC. - [x] Documentation - [x] Test all endpoints - [x] Test HTTPS certificate - [x] Allow adding remote signer validators via the API - [x] Add Altair support via [21.8.1-rc1](https://github.com/ConsenSys/web3signer/releases/tag/21.8.1-rc1) - [x] Create issue to start using latest version of web3signer. (See #2570) ## Notes - ~~Web3Signer doesn't yet support the Altair fork for Prater. See https://github.com/ConsenSys/web3signer/issues/423.~~ - ~~There is not yet a release of Web3Signer which supports Altair blocks. See https://github.com/ConsenSys/web3signer/issues/391.~~ |

Lighthouse: Ethereum 2.0
An open-source Ethereum 2.0 client, written in Rust and maintained by Sigma Prime.
Overview
Lighthouse is:
- Ready for use on Eth2 mainnet.
- Fully open-source, licensed under Apache 2.0.
- Security-focused. Fuzzing techniques have been continuously applied and several external security reviews have been performed.
- Built in Rust, a modern language providing unique safety guarantees and excellent performance (comparable to C++).
- Funded by various organisations, including Sigma Prime, the Ethereum Foundation, ConsenSys, the Decentralization Foundation and private individuals.
- Actively involved in the specification and security analysis of the Ethereum 2.0 specification.
Eth2 Deposit Contract
The Lighthouse team acknowledges
0x00000000219ab540356cBB839Cbe05303d7705Fa
as the canonical Eth2 deposit contract address.
Documentation
The Lighthouse Book contains information for users and developers.
The Lighthouse team maintains a blog at lighthouse.sigmaprime.io which contains periodical progress updates, roadmap insights and interesting findings.
Branches
Lighthouse maintains two permanent branches:
stable: Always points to the latest stable release.- This is ideal for most users.
unstable: Used for development, contains the latest PRs.- Developers should base their PRs on this branch.
Contributing
Lighthouse welcomes contributors.
If you are looking to contribute, please head to the Contributing section of the Lighthouse book.
