Summary of changes

Changes introduced in this pull request:

  • Add a drand gossipsub module that validates PublicRandResponse payloads
  • Wire verdicts into the network service so drand messages are forwarded only after verification

Reference issue to close (if applicable)

Other information and links

Change checklist

  • I have performed a self-review of my own code,
  • I have made corresponding changes to the documentation. All new code adheres to the team's documentation standards,
  • I have added tests that prove my fix is effective or that my feature works (if possible),
  • I have made sure the CHANGELOG is up-to-date. All user-facing changes should be reflected in this document.

Outside contributions

  • This pull request is based on an issue that a maintainer has accepted (see Before Opening a Pull Request).
  • I have read and agree to the CONTRIBUTING document.
  • I have read and agree to the AI Policy document. I understand that failure to comply with the guidelines will lead to rejection of the pull request.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Drand beacon entries received over the network are validated before acceptance. Malformed entries and invalid signatures are rejected; outdated or premature entries are ignored.
    • Concurrent verification is limited to four entries by default. Excess entries are dropped rather than queued, and the limit can be configured.
    • Added a metric for tracking drand entries by validation outcome and reason.
  • Documentation
    • Documented the verification limit and drand entry metric.

Walkthrough

The change adds drand protobuf response support and gossipsub validation. The validator checks entry format, signature, timing, and verification capacity, then sends verdicts and records metrics. Libp2p routes drand messages to the validator and reports its verdicts to gossipsub.

Changes

Drand gossip verification

Layer / File(s) Summary
Beacon response format and schedule
proto/drand_pb.proto, src/beacon/drand_pb.rs, src/beacon/drand.rs, src/beacon/mod.rs, src/beacon/signatures/mod.rs, src/beacon/tests/fake_drand_signer.rs, .gitattributes
Adds the PublicRandResponse protobuf message and its Rust implementation. Adds beacon chain-hash and schedule access, plus fake signing support and cache checks used by tests.
Validation outcomes and metrics
src/libp2p/drand/validator.rs, src/libp2p/drand/metrics.rs, src/libp2p/drand/test_utils.rs, docs/docs/users/reference/env_variables.md, docs/docs/users/reference/metrics.md
Adds entry validation, configurable concurrent verification, verdict reporting, and metrics. Tests cover accepted, rejected, and ignored entries. The references document the concurrency setting and metric.
Libp2p routing and verdict reporting
src/libp2p/drand/mod.rs, src/libp2p/mod.rs, src/libp2p/service.rs, src/libp2p/behaviour.rs, src/daemon/mod.rs, src/libp2p/tests/*
Creates DrandGossip from the beacon schedule, routes matching-topic messages to it, and reports asynchronous verdicts to gossipsub. Adds routing coverage and tests for gossip validation.
