Age Manning 616bee6757 Maintain trusted peers (#4159)
## Issue Addressed
#4150 

## Proposed Changes

Maintain trusted peers in the pruning logic. ~~In principle the changes here are not necessary as a trusted peer has a max score (100) and all other peers can have at most 0 (because we don't implement positive scores). This means that we should never prune trusted peers unless we have more trusted peers than the target peer count.~~

This change shifts this logic to explicitly never prune trusted peers which I expect is the intuitive behaviour. 

~~I suspect the issue in #4150 arises when a trusted peer disconnects from us for one reason or another and then we remove that peer from our peerdb as it becomes stale. When it re-connects at some large time later, it is no longer a trusted peer.~~

Currently we do disconnect trusted peers, and this PR corrects this to maintain trusted peers in the pruning logic.

As suggested in #4150 we maintain trusted peers in the db and thus we remember them even if they disconnect from us.

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.

Contributing

Lighthouse welcomes contributors.
