Age Manning fdea8f2b27 Shift subnet backbone structure (attnets revamp) (#4304)
This PR address the following spec change: https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/pull/3312

Instead of subscribing to a long-lived subnet for every attached validator to a beacon node, all beacon nodes will subscribe to `SUBNETS_PER_NODE` long-lived subnets. This is currently set to 2 for mainnet. 

This PR does not include any scoring or advanced discovery mechanisms. A future PR will improve discovery and we can implement scoring after the next hard fork when we expect all client teams and all implementations to respect this spec change.

This will be a significant change in the subnet network structure for consensus clients and we will likely have to monitor and tweak our peer management logic.

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.
