Add `HistoricalSummaries` to beacon chain network specs #210

Closed ogenev closed 1 year ago

What was wrong?

We need a way to verify the canonicalness of post-merge execution block headers.

How was it fixed?

  1. Define HistoricalSummaries data
  1. Move from the Beacon Chain Light Client Network narrative to the Beacon Chain Network, as not all of the data stored in the network is required by the light client protocol.

I'm not too convinced yet about adding it in the Beacon Chain Light Client network and renaming that network to the Beacon Chain Network, as more objects from Beacon Chain are likely to be added,

Do you mean that we may want to have two separate networks - Beacon Chain Network and Beacon Chain Light Client network?

Yeah, but I realize it would be only 1 content type currently, so we could skip it for now.
