Call summary

Decisions
  • Beacon node retains final block selection authority; VC signs and submits whatever Beacon node returns, regardless of bid source - 00:09:44
  • Separate endpoint preferred over merged produce-block endpoint for direct-bid API (PR 627) - 00:04:38
Highlights
  • Circuit Breaker Status:
    • ·Circuit breaker discussed but no clean test completed; non-finality on devnet triggered informal discussion - 00:17:44
    • ·Nimbus, Lodestar (global, not per-builder), and Lighthouse have circuit breakers; Lodestar needs ~2 weeks to polish - 00:18:10
  • Trustless Builder Support:
    • ·Lighthouse has closed-source trusted builder for devnet testing; trustless builder not yet implemented - 00:19:23
    • ·Lodestar currently rejects non-HEAD-compatible bids via gossip rules; flood-publish approach proposed to cover reorg branches - 00:20:06
    • ·Public builder (PK910) builds payloads for parent and grandparent, with empty and full payload variants; bids observed on devnet 8 - 00:21:20
  • Builder Specs And Beacon Api:
    • ·builder-specs PR 165 and Beacon API PR merged; Key Manager API merged last week - 00:01:43
    • ·Lodestar tested direct bids with CommitBoost on Kurtosis; not yet on devnet - 00:02:16
    • ·Beacon API PR 627 to be rebased today; key open question is separate vs. merged produce-block endpoint - 00:04:18
    • ·Consensus: Beacon node should retain all decision-making (circuit breaker, validity); VC signs and submits whatever Beacon node returns - 00:09:44
    • ·Beacon node should validate incoming bid before signing; can fall back to local block if bid is invalid - 00:12:56
Action Items
  • Luca (Vero) - Update Beacon API PR 627: rebase, clarify separate endpoint behavior, document VC vs. Beacon node decision responsibilities - 00:04:18
