Major WIP in progress. The shard chain is compiling and running end-to-end. Also contains major changes to the beacon chain.
Lots of cleanup needed!

Cleanup Tasks:

  • Update to latest spec (pull in current master from sigp)
  • Move some chain_spec values into shard_state_types to make for easier ShardSlot, Slot, Epoch, Period conversions
  • Refactor the shard state processing functions into its own package
  • Clean up errors trickling up for the shard chain (too much duplication from the beacon chain and leftovers).
  • Build proper error handling for state processing functions. Particularly, follow the design patterns from block_processing and epoch_processing
  • Introduce Shard struct instead of just a u64
  • Refactor chain_spec values to be exactly in line with the spec. Add the new configs in as well
  • Refactor store and eth2 lmd_ghost directory to operate on Generics. Too much duplication currently
  • Refactor some loops into iterators (improve on Rust paradigms)
  • Comments / doc comments!!
  • Include verification of attestations within the op_pool

Core Functionality

  • Plug in Scout to per_shard_block_processing
  • Build out the rest of the state processing functions from the spec
  • Command line tooling to inject the wasm for the EE and add the block data in realtime
  • Add persistence

Harness

  • Complete harness logic
  • ShardStateBuilder for Genesis block

Efficiency Gains

  • Refactor block/state iterators to take advantage of log search in history_accumulator or build a linear cache/vector of historical roots (probably the better option)
  • Plug in metrics/prometheus and begin using it to benchmark functions, etc.

Tests

  • Builders, builders, builders :)
  • Expand beacon state tests to accommodate recent additions
  • Tests for shard state processing and other logic in addition to Shard Chain tests

Future

  • Harness adds multiple shard chains
  • Further logic, transaction types in beacon chain
  • Partials/proof for receipts from the shard chain (deltas as well)
  • Some basic networking
  • RPC interface/functions
  • Lots of simulations (relay markets, crosslink clients, etc.)
