Continue attesting when web3 goes down

Open arnetheduck opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

When the connection to the web3 server is lost, it remains possible and valid to keep voting for the last known head for some time (1 epoch? up to 2?) - using an old head/target/source still nets a rewards and remains a valid vote.

Ditto when syncing: after optimistic sync, it's sufficient that the execution layer confirms any block within the last 1-2 epochs to start attesting to that block.
