Each slot it hits the /eth/v2/validator/blocks/slot endpoint for each node in its config.toml . This is useful for several tasks: - Benchmarking/stress testing - Generating training data for blockprint - Computing similarity scores for blocks (an alternative to blockprint, see src/distance.rs ) Installation A Docker image is available on the GitHub container registry: Or you can build from source: Configuration Blockdreamer is configured by a config.toml provided to the --config flag. An example configuration file can be found at example.toml . A full list of configuration options can be found in the source: src/config.rs . Consensus Node Configuration Ensure that all the consensus nodes configured with blockdreamer have a fee recipient set. Block proposals may fail if the fee recipient is not set. A dummy value is usually sufficient, e.g. for Lighthouse: Execution Node Configuration Blockdreamer is often used in conjunction with [Eleel][], which both simplifies the maintenance of the consensus node swarm and streamlines block building. Unlike execution nodes which may take significant time to build an execution payload, Eleel can build a dummy payload in milliseconds, and isn't fussy about how the consensus node asks for that payload.
