What ❔

Adds cryptographic verification of blob data retrieved from Celestia DA layer to prevent state corruption from malicious or faulty DA nodes

Why ❔

When retrieving blobs via get_inclusion_data(), the commitment was not revalidated against the blob content. A bad DA node could return different data than originally committed leading to:

  • State corruption in L2
  • Potential double-spend through altered withdrawal data
  • ZK proof verification failures

Summary of Changes

Hello @romanornr, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request implements a crucial security enhancement by adding cryptographic verification to all blob data retrieved from the Celestia DA layer. This ensures the integrity and authenticity of the data, safeguarding the L2 state from potential corruption or manipulation by compromised DA nodes, thereby bolstering the overall security and reliability of the system.

Highlights

  • Cryptographic Verification: Introduces cryptographic verification for blob data retrieved from the Celestia Data Availability (DA) layer.
  • Enhanced Security: Prevents state corruption, potential double-spend vulnerabilities, and ZK proof verification failures that could arise from malicious or faulty DA nodes.
  • New Verification Function: Adds a verify_blob_commitment function to the CelestiaClient to compute and compare data commitments.
  • Comprehensive Testing: Includes new unit tests to ensure the determinism, uniqueness, and correctness of the commitment verification logic.

Code Review

This pull request introduces an important security enhancement by adding cryptographic verification for blobs retrieved from the Celestia DA layer. The core logic for commitment verification is sound. However, I've identified a few areas for improvement. The new tests for the verification logic don't directly test the new function, making them less effective. I've suggested a small refactor to the verification function to improve its testability and provided updated tests. Additionally, there's a minor issue with an unused import.
