Michael Sproul 6ec649a4e2 Optimise head block root API (#4799) 
## Issue Addressed

We've had a report of sync committee performance suffering with the beacon processor HTTP API prioritisations.

## Proposed Changes

Increase the priority of `/eth/v1/beacon/blocks/head/root` requests, which are used by the validator client to form sync committee messages, here:

441fc1691b/validator_client/src/sync_committee_service.rs (L181-L188)

Additionally, avoid loading the blinded block in all but the `block_id=block_root` case. I'm not sure why we were doing this previously, I suspect it was just an oversight during the implementation of the `finalized` status on API requests.

## Additional Info

I think this change should have minimal negative impact as:

- The block root endpoint is quick to compute (a few ms max).
- Only the priority of `head` requests is increased. Analytical processes that are making lots of block root requests for past slots are unable to DoS the beacon processor, as their requests will still be processed after attestations.

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.
