Michael Sproul 5a35278aea Add more checks and logging before genesis (#4730)
## Proposed Changes

This PR adds more logging prior to genesis, particularly on networks that start with execution enabled.

There are new checks using `eth_getBlockByHash/Number` to verify that the genesis state's `latest_execution_payload_header` matches the execution node's genesis block.

The first commit also runs the merge-readiness/Capella-readiness checks prior to genesis. This has two effects:

- Give more information on the execution node's status and its readiness for genesis.
- Prevent the `el_offline` status from being set on `/eth/v1/node/syncing`, which previously caused the VC to complain loudly.

I would like to include this for the Holesky reboot. It would have caught the misconfig that doomed the first Holesky.

## Additional Info

- Geth doesn't serve payload bodies prior to genesis, which is why we use the legacy methods. I haven't checked with other ELs yet.
- Currently this is logging errors with _Capella_ genesis states generated by `ethereum-genesis-generator` because the `withdrawals_root` is not set correctly (it is 0x0). This is not a blocker for Holesky, as it starts from Bellatrix (Pari is investigating).

Overview

Lighthouse is:

  • Ready for use on Ethereum consensus 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 proof-of-stake consensus specification.

Staking Deposit Contract

The Lighthouse team acknowledges 0x00000000219ab540356cBB839Cbe05303d7705Fa as the canonical staking deposit contract address.

Documentation

The Lighthouse Book contains information for users and developers.

The Lighthouse team maintains a blog at lighthouse-blog.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.
