Server defines a server implementation of the gRPC Validator service, providing RPC endpoints for obtaining validator assignments per epoch, the slots and committees in which particular validators need to perform their responsibilities, and more.

func (*Server) CanonicalHead

func (vs *Server) CanonicalHead(ctx context.Context, req *ptypes.Empty) (*ethpb.SignedBeaconBlock, error)

CanonicalHead of the current beacon chain. This method is requested on-demand by a validator when it is their time to propose or attest.

func (*Server) DomainData

func (vs *Server) DomainData(ctx context.Context, request *ethpb.DomainRequest) (*ethpb.DomainResponse, error)

DomainData fetches the current domain version information from the beacon state.

func (*Server) GetAttestationData

func (vs *Server) GetAttestationData(ctx context.Context, req *ethpb.AttestationDataRequest) (*ethpb.AttestationData, error)

GetAttestationData requests that the beacon node produce an attestation data object, which the validator acting as an attester will then sign.

func (*Server) GetBlock

func (vs *Server) GetBlock(ctx context.Context, req *ethpb.BlockRequest) (*ethpb.BeaconBlock, error)

GetBlock is called by a proposer during its assigned slot to request a block to sign by passing in the slot and the signed randao reveal of the slot.

func (*Server) GetDuties

func (vs *Server) GetDuties(ctx context.Context, req *ethpb.DutiesRequest) (*ethpb.DutiesResponse, error)

GetDuties returns the committee assignment response from a given validator public key. The committee assignment response contains the following fields for the current and previous epoch:

1.) The list of validators in the committee.
2.) The shard to which the committee is assigned.
3.) The slot at which the committee is assigned.
4.) The bool signaling if the validator is expected to propose a block at the assigned slot.

func (*Server) ProposeAttestation

func (vs *Server) ProposeAttestation(ctx context.Context, att *ethpb.Attestation) (*ethpb.AttestResponse, error)

ProposeAttestation is a function called by an attester to vote on a block via an attestation object as defined in the Ethereum Serenity specification.

func (*Server) ProposeBlock

func (vs *Server) ProposeBlock(ctx context.Context, blk *ethpb.SignedBeaconBlock) (*ethpb.ProposeResponse, error)

ProposeBlock is called by a proposer during its assigned slot to create a block in an attempt to get it processed by the beacon node as the canonical head.

func (*Server) ProposeExit

func (vs *Server) ProposeExit(ctx context.Context, req *ethpb.SignedVoluntaryExit) (*ptypes.Empty, error)

ProposeExit proposes an exit for a validator.

func (*Server) SubmitAggregateAndProof

func (as *Server) SubmitAggregateAndProof(ctx context.Context, req *ethpb.AggregationRequest) (*ethpb.AggregationResponse, error)

SubmitAggregateAndProof is called by a validator when its assigned to be an aggregator. The beacon node will broadcast aggregated attestation and proof on the aggregator's behavior.

func (*Server) ValidatorIndex

func (vs *Server) ValidatorIndex(ctx context.Context, req *ethpb.ValidatorIndexRequest) (*ethpb.ValidatorIndexResponse, error)

ValidatorIndex is called by a validator to get its index location in the beacon state.

func (*Server) ValidatorStatus

func (vs *Server) ValidatorStatus(
	ctx context.Context,
	req *ethpb.ValidatorStatusRequest) (*ethpb.ValidatorStatusResponse, error)

ValidatorStatus returns the validator status of the current epoch. The status response can be one of the following:

DEPOSITED - validator's deposit has been recognized by Ethereum 1, not yet recognized by Ethereum 2.
PENDING - validator is in Ethereum 2's activation queue.
ACTIVE - validator is active.
EXITING - validator has initiated an an exit request, or has dropped below the ejection balance and is being kicked out.
EXITED - validator is no longer validating.
SLASHING - validator has been kicked out due to meeting a slashing condition.
UNKNOWN_STATUS - validator does not have a known status in the network.

func (*Server) WaitForActivation

func (vs *Server) WaitForActivation(req *ethpb.ValidatorActivationRequest, stream ethpb.BeaconNodeValidator_WaitForActivationServer) error

WaitForActivation checks if a validator public key exists in the active validator registry of the current beacon state, if not, then it creates a stream which listens for canonical states which contain the validator with the public key as an active validator record.

func (*Server) WaitForChainStart

func (vs *Server) WaitForChainStart(req *ptypes.Empty, stream ethpb.BeaconNodeValidator_WaitForChainStartServer) error

WaitForChainStart queries the logs of the Deposit Contract in order to verify the beacon chain has started its runtime and validators begin their responsibilities. If it has not, it then subscribes to an event stream triggered by the powchain service whenever the ChainStart log does occur in the Deposit Contract on ETH 1.0.
