Hash Slinging Slasher Server Implementation

This is the main project folder for a slasher server implementation for Ethereum Serenity in Golang by Prysmatic Labs. A slasher listens for all broadcasted messages using a running beacon node in order to detect slashable attestations and block proposals. It uses the min-max-surround method by Protolambda.

The slasher requires a connection to a synced beacon node in order to listen for attestations and block proposals. To run the slasher, type:

bazel run //slasher -- \
    --datadir PATH/FOR/DB \
    --span-map-cache \
    --beacon-rpc-provider localhost:4000

The beacon node entered in beacon-rpc-provider will then receive slashings from the slasher client and send them to any requesting proposer to be put into a block.

# Packages

beaconclient

Package beaconclient defines a service that interacts with a beacon node via a gRPC client to listen for streamed blocks, attestations, and to submit proposer/attester slashings to the node in case they are detected.
