Add ExecutionPayloadHeader to LC data
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
While the light client sync protocol currently provides access to the
latest `BeaconBlockHeader`, obtaining the matching execution data needs
workarounds such as downloading the full block.

Having ready access to the EL state root simplifies use cases that need
a way to cross-check `eth_getProof` responses against LC data.

Access to `block_hash` unlocks scenarios where a CL light client drives
an EL without `engine_newPayload`. As of Altair, only the CL beacon
block root is available, but the EL block hash is needed for engine API.

Other fields in the `ExecutionPayloadHeader` such as `logs_bloom` may
allow light client applications to monitor blocks for local interest,
e.g. for transfers affecting a certain wallet. This enables to download
only the few relevant blocks instead of every single one.

A new `LightClientStore` is proposed into the Capella spec that may be
used to sync LC data that includes execution data. Existing pre-Capella
LC data will remain as is, but can be locally upgraded before feeding it
into the new `LightClientStore` so that light clients do not need to run
a potentially expensive fork transition at a specific time. This enables
the `LightClientStore` to be upgraded at a use case dependent timing at
any time before Capella hits. Smart contract and embedded deployments
benefit from reduced code size and do not need synchronization with the
beacon chain clock to perform the Capella fork.

## Introduction

This document describes how to upgrade existing light client objects based on the [Altair specification](../../altair/light-client/sync-protocol.md) to Capella. This is necessary when processing pre-Capella data with a post-Capella `LightClientStore`. Note that the data being exchanged over the network protocols uses the original format.

### Upgrading light client data

A Capella `LightClientStore` can still process earlier light client data. In order to do so, that pre-Capella data needs to be locally upgraded to Capella before processing.

```python
def upgrade_lc_header_to_capella(pre: BeaconBlockHeader) -> LightClientHeader:
return LightClientHeader(
beacon=pre,
execution=ExecutionPayloadHeader(),
)
```

```python
def upgrade_lc_bootstrap_to_capella(pre: altair.LightClientBootstrap) -> LightClientBootstrap:
return LightClientBootstrap(
header=upgrade_lc_header_to_capella(pre.header),
current_sync_committee=pre.current_sync_committee,
current_sync_committee_branch=pre.current_sync_committee_branch,
)
```

```python
def upgrade_lc_update_to_capella(pre: altair.LightClientUpdate) -> LightClientUpdate:
return LightClientUpdate(
attested_header=upgrade_lc_header_to_capella(pre.attested_header),
next_sync_committee=pre.next_sync_committee,
next_sync_committee_branch=pre.next_sync_committee_branch,
finalized_header=upgrade_lc_header_to_capella(pre.finalized_header),
finality_branch=pre.finality_branch,
sync_aggregate=pre.sync_aggregate,
signature_slot=pre.signature_slot,
)
```

```python
def upgrade_lc_finality_update_to_capella(pre: altair.LightClientFinalityUpdate) -> LightClientFinalityUpdate:
return LightClientFinalityUpdate(
attested_header=upgrade_lc_header_to_capella(pre.attested_header),
finalized_header=upgrade_lc_header_to_capella(pre.finalized_header),
finality_branch=pre.finality_branch,
sync_aggregate=pre.sync_aggregate,
signature_slot=pre.signature_slot,
)
```

```python
def upgrade_lc_optimistic_update_to_capella(pre: altair.LightClientOptimisticUpdate) -> LightClientOptimisticUpdate:
return LightClientOptimisticUpdate(
attested_header=upgrade_lc_header_to_capella(pre.attested_header),
sync_aggregate=pre.sync_aggregate,
signature_slot=pre.signature_slot,
)
```

### Upgrading the store

Existing `LightClientStore` objects based on Altair MUST be upgraded to Capella before Capella based light client data can be processed. The `LightClientStore` upgrade MAY be performed before `CAPELLA_FORK_EPOCH`.

```python
def upgrade_lc_store_to_capella(pre: altair.LightClientStore) -> LightClientStore:
if pre.best_valid_update is None:
best_valid_update = None
else:
best_valid_update = upgrade_lc_update_to_capella(pre.best_valid_update)
return LightClientStore(
finalized_header=upgrade_lc_header_to_capella(pre.finalized_header),
current_sync_committee=pre.current_sync_committee,
next_sync_committee=pre.next_sync_committee,
best_valid_update=best_valid_update,
optimistic_header=upgrade_lc_header_to_capella(pre.optimistic_header),
previous_max_active_participants=pre.previous_max_active_participants,
current_max_active_participants=pre.current_max_active_participants,
)

This upgrade adds information about the execution payload to light client data as part of the Capella upgrade.
