Internal development testnet for Random Beacon and TBTC v2

[pdyraga]

We need an internal testnet for development builds.
We will build our test environment against Goerli.

Prerequisites:

• Geth testnet node with testnet ether mining (geth) (@electropolis)
  • Install geth v1.10.20 on Virtual Machine and start syncing with Goerli (just PoC). (Flags to use: --goerli, --syncmode=snap, --http, --ws) Consider using ethereum/client-go docker image for simple installation.
  • Run Goerli geth on kubernetes:
    • StatefulSet
    • Persistent storage
    • Expose ports (HTTP, WS, P2P)
    • Internal service
    • External service (extra task)
    • update geth to the newest version #3264
• Deploy V1 contracts to testnet manually and publish them to NPM Package Registry to use as hardcoded dependencies in V2 (@nkuba) - @keep-network/[email protected] Deploy V1 contracts to Goerli #3059
• Manually deployed and published V2 contracts (@nkuba):
  • Threshold Network (@threshold-network/[email protected])
  • Keep Random Beacon (@keep-network/[email protected])
  • Keep ECDSA (@keep-network/[email protected])
  • Keep TBTC v2 (@keep-network/[email protected])
• Automate deployment of V2 contracts (@michalinacienciala):
  • CI config update: Create a config file for CI flow in V2 ci#28
  • Update of workflows in solidity-contracts: Add support for deployment on Goerli testnet threshold-network/solidity-contracts#114
  • Update of workflows in keep-core: Add support for deployment on Goerli testnet #3081
  • Update of workflows in tbtc-v2: Add support for deployment on Goerli testnet tbtc-v2#382
  • Replace the stub of the BitcoinRelay contract - moved to an independent issue ( Replace the stub of the BitcoinRelay contract tbtc-v2#400)
• Configure contracts references in the client (@nkuba)
• Docker client build and publish (@nkuba) (Pass ENVIRONMENT argument for Docker build #3144)
• Docker initcontainer build and publish (@nkuba) (Docker image for contracts hardhat initialization tasks #3132)
• Automate client docker build and publish (on workflow dispatch) (@michalinacienciala) (Adjust client.yml for use in v2 #3154, Add modules building client and Token dashboard ci#31)
• Scripts to init operators (staking) (@nkuba)

Requirements:

• 10 Keep nodes, each 20x minimum stake (@nkuba)(k8s: keep-test configuration for keep-client nodes #3128)
• Provisioning includes staking for each node, authorizing Random Beacon and ECDSA applications (@nkuba)(k8s: keep-test configuration for keep-client nodes #3128)
• Provisioning includes setting up config of clients with contract addresses and bootstrap nodes (@nkuba)(k8s: keep-test configuration for keep-client nodes #3128)

Extras (for later, but let's keep in mind when implementing the solution):

• Prepare monitoring solutions in Keep Test project #3149

• Monitoring dashboard for Ethereum node #3278

• Testnet: Monitoring dashboards for Keep nodes #3279

• Improve developer experience when browsing logs (logs output, parsing, alerts, etc.) (for geth we could try --log.json flag)

• Clean up V1 resources that will not be needed in V2

• Move tbtc-monitoring job to prod project (https://github.com/keep-network/tbtc-monitoring/pull/2)

Resources:

• OG Council: Post-Merge Testnets
• Ropsten, Rinkeby & Kiln Deprecation Announcement

After research and discussion, we decided to use Goerli as our Ethereum testnet.

Reopening. Got closed accidentially.

The remaining work has been extracted to separate issues:

• Cleanup unused infrastructure code #3344
• Testnet: Monitoring dashboards for Keep nodes #3279
• Geth node synchronization monitoring #3145
