Some updates to Lighthouse book (#6995)
* #6447 - Move some deprecated pages to a new section under `Archived` - Remove fallback log in mev as the log will not be present after VC using `/eth/v3/validator/blocks` endpoint by default - Add warning against using Btrfs file system (thank you @ChosunOne for the report) - Add data shared by @mcdee on tree states API queries time - Rename partial withdrawals to validator sweep to differentiate it from the upcoming execution layer partial withdrawals - Update NAT API response - Update docs on IPv6 - Rename .md files to follow a standard prefix section name, e.g., installation_*.md, advanced_*.md - Standardise .md files using underscore `_` instead of hyphen `-` to be consistent with other files naming conventions.

# Validator Inclusion APIs
|
||||
|
||||
The `/lighthouse/validator_inclusion` API endpoints provide information on
|
||||
results of the proof-of-stake voting process used for finality/justification
|
||||
under Casper FFG.
|
||||
|
||||
These endpoints are not stable or included in the Ethereum consensus standard API. As such,
|
||||
they are subject to change or removal without a change in major release
|
||||
version.
|
||||
|
||||
In order to apply these APIs, you need to have historical states information in the database of your node. This means adding the flag `--reconstruct-historic-states` in the beacon node. Once the state reconstruction process is completed, you can apply these APIs to any epoch.
|
||||
|
||||
## Endpoints
|
||||
|
||||
| HTTP Path | Description |
|
||||
| --- | -- |
|
||||
| [`/lighthouse/validator_inclusion/{epoch}/global`](#global) | A global vote count for a given epoch. |
|
||||
| [`/lighthouse/validator_inclusion/{epoch}/{validator_id}`](#individual) | A per-validator breakdown of votes in a given epoch. |
|
||||
|
||||
## Global
|
||||
|
||||
Returns a global count of votes for some given `epoch`. The results are included
|
||||
both for the current and previous (`epoch - 1`) epochs since both are required
|
||||
by the beacon node whilst performing per-epoch-processing.
|
||||
|
||||
Generally, you should consider the "current" values to be incomplete and the
|
||||
"previous" values to be final. This is because validators can continue to
|
||||
include attestations from the _current_ epoch in the _next_ epoch, however this
|
||||
is not the case for attestations from the _previous_ epoch.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
`epoch` query parameter
|
||||
|
|
||||
| --------- values are calculated here
|
||||
| |
|
||||

|
||||
Epoch: |---previous---|---current---|---next---|
|
||||
|

|-------------|
|
||||
^
|
||||
|
|
||||
window for including "current" attestations
|
||||
in a block
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The votes are expressed in terms of staked _effective_ `Gwei` (i.e., not the number of
|
||||
individual validators). For example, if a validator has 32 ETH staked they will
|
||||
increase the `current_epoch_attesting_gwei` figure by `32,000,000,000` if they
|
||||
have an attestation included in a block during the current epoch. If this
|
||||
validator has more than 32 ETH, that extra ETH will not count towards their
|
||||
vote (that is why it is _effective_ `Gwei`).
|
||||
|
||||
The following fields are returned:
|
||||
|
||||
- `current_epoch_active_gwei`: the total staked gwei that was active (i.e.,
|
||||
able to vote) during the current epoch.
|
||||
- `current_epoch_target_attesting_gwei`: the total staked gwei that attested to
|
||||
the majority-elected Casper FFG target epoch during the current epoch.
|
||||
- `previous_epoch_target_attesting_gwei`: see `current_epoch_target_attesting_gwei`.
|
||||
- `previous_epoch_head_attesting_gwei`: the total staked gwei that attested to a
|
||||
head beacon block that is in the canonical chain.
|
||||
|
||||
From this data you can calculate:
|
||||
|
||||
### Justification/Finalization Rate
|
||||
|
||||
`previous_epoch_target_attesting_gwei / current_epoch_active_gwei`
|
||||
|
||||
When this value is greater than or equal to `2/3` it is possible that the
|
||||
beacon chain may justify and/or finalize the epoch.
|
||||
|
||||
### HTTP Example
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -X GET "http://localhost:5052/lighthouse/validator_inclusion/0/global" -H "accept: application/json" | jq
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"data": {
|
||||
"current_epoch_active_gwei": 642688000000000,
|
||||
"current_epoch_target_attesting_gwei": 366208000000000,
|
||||
"previous_epoch_target_attesting_gwei": 1000000000,
|
||||
"previous_epoch_head_attesting_gwei": 1000000000
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Individual
|
||||
|
||||
Returns a per-validator summary of how that validator performed during the
|
||||
current epoch.
|
||||
|
||||
The [Global Votes](#global) endpoint is the summation of all of these
|
||||
individual values, please see it for definitions of terms like "current_epoch",
|
||||
"previous_epoch" and "target_attester".
|
||||
|
||||
