This PR updates the bls contracts from our internal implementation which is an unmaintained fork of the kilic library to the gnark-crypto library that is actively maintained by consensys.
It also updates the gas-costs according to the EIP
* eth: drop support for forward sync triggers and head block packets
* consensus, eth: enforce always merged network
* eth: fix tx looper startup and shutdown
* cmd, core: fix some tests
* core: remove notion of future blocks
* core, eth: drop unused methods and types
This PR fixes an overflow which can could happen if inconsistent blockchain rules were configured. Additionally, it tries to prevent such inconsistencies from occurring by making sure that merge cannot be enabled unless previous fork(s) are also enabled.
This PR introduces a few changes with respect to payload verification in fcu and new payload requests:
* First of all, it undoes the `verifyPayloadAttributes(..)` simplification I attempted in #27872.
* Adds timestamp validation to fcu payload attributes [as required](https://github.com/ethereum/execution-apis/blob/main/src/engine/cancun.md#specification-1) (section 2) by the Engine API spec.
* For the new payload methods, I also update the verification of the executable data. For `newPayloadV2`, it does not currently ensure that cancun values are `nil`. Which could make it possible to submit cancun payloads through it.
* On `newPayloadV3` the same types of checks are added. All shanghai and cancun related fields in the executable data must be non-nil, with the addition that the timestamp is _only_ with cancun.
* Finally it updates a newly failing catalyst test to call the correct fcu and new payload methods depending on the fork.
The code to compute a versioned hash was duplicated a couple times, and also had a small
issue: if we ever change params.BlobTxHashVersion, it will most likely also cause changes
to the actual hash computation. So it's a bit useless to have this constant in params.
EIP-4844 adds a new transaction type for blobs. Users can submit such transactions via `eth_sendRawTransaction`. In this PR we refrain from adding support to `eth_sendTransaction` and in fact it will fail if the user passes in a blob hash.
However since the chain can handle such transactions it makes sense to allow simulating them. E.g. an L2 operator should be able to simulate submitting a rollup blob and updating the L2 state. Most methods that take in a transaction object should recognize blobs. The change boils down to adding `blobVersionedHashes` and `maxFeePerBlobGas` to `TransactionArgs`. In summary:
- `eth_sendTransaction`: will fail for blob txes
- `eth_signTransaction`: will fail for blob txes
The methods that sign txes does not, as of this PR, add support the for new EIP-4844 transaction types. Resuming the summary:
- `eth_sendRawTransaction`: can send blob txes
- `eth_fillTransaction`: will fill in a blob tx. Note: here we simply fill in normal transaction fields + possibly `maxFeePerBlobGas` when blobs are present. One can imagine a more elaborate set-up where users can submit blobs themselves and we fill in proofs and commitments and such. Left for future PRs if desired.
- `eth_call`: can simulate blob messages
- `eth_estimateGas`: blobs have no effect here. They have a separate unit of gas which is not tunable in the transaction.
geth --dev can be used with an existing data directory and genesis block. Since
dev mode only works with PoS, we need to verify that the merge has happened.
