Bootstrap fork choice from storage's attestations

Open ericsson49 opened this issue 6 years ago • 0 comments

Currently, when node starts, fork choice is based on an empty LatestMessages set, since LMs/attestations are not stored on disk explicitly. However, on-chain attestations (inside blocks) are kept in the storage. Implement bootstrapping initial LM set for LMD GHOST fork choice, from blocks kept in the storage (descendants of the finalized checkpoint).
