feat(node): full nodes may re-execute

Open LHerskind opened this issue 9 months ago • 2 comments

Currently, only the members of the committee will be re-executing the block to checks its correctness as part of block production.

This means that full nodes and non-committee members are blindly trusting the committee when they just pull and apply the diff from what was published to L1. We should give them the option to re-execute for better guarantees.

Most relevant when checking results pulled from the pending chain.

  • Full nodes should refuse to follow the pending chain if they are unable to reproduce proposal's purported state roots
