v1.0.0

v1.0.0 major release of the Infernet Node—a way to bring off-chain compute workloads, on-chain.

New Features

• Payments
• Proof verification
• Streaming jobs

Added

• Added files Dockerfile-gpu and docker-compose-gpu.yaml for building and deploying GPU-enabled node with access to all local GPUs.
• Better error-checking and handling for all infernet-related on-chain transaction errors.
• Forward fatal errors via metric sender at shutdown for better error diagnosing (only if forwarding stats is enabled.)
• New destination field to container inputs, to decouple job input source from output destination.
• OpenAPI spec for the REST server.
• Simulation of transactions before submitting them to the chain, to prevent submitting invalid transactions, resulting in wasted gas.
• Support for streaming offchain job responses, via the POST /api/jobs/stream endpoint.
• Support for CIDR ranges in container-level firewalls ("allowed_ips").
• Support for volume mounts to managed containers.
• Support for streaming offchain job responses, via the /api/jobs/stream endpoint.
• New flag "allowed_sim_errors" in the config.json file to specify which error messages are allowed to be ignored by the node when simulating transactions.
• New flag "payment_address" in the config.json file to specify the public address of the node's escrow wallet. This is an instance of Infernet's Wallet contract.
• New flag "accepted_payments" in the config.json's "containers" subsection to specify which tokens the container accepts as payment for jobs.
• New flag "generates_proofs" in the config.json's "containers" subsection to specify whether the container generates proofs, defaults to false.
• New flag "requires_proof" in the input to the containers. Containers can check that flag to determine if they need to provide a proof, or error if they don't support proofs.
• New flag "registry_address" in the config.json file to specify the public address of Infernet's Registry contract. This contract is used to retrieve the addresses
  of the rest of the Infernet contracts. Therefore, the "coordinator_address" is now removed.
• New optional flag "rate_limit" in the config.json's "server" configuration to allow rate limiting of incoming requests to the REST server.

Changed

• Limit restarts within time window in docker-compose.yaml.
• Consolidated GET /chain/enabled and GET /chain/address endpoints into GET /info.
• Refactored node entrypoint (main.py) into a class.
• Increased metric sender intervals to combat outbound data rate limits.
  • NODE_INTERVAL for node metrics is now 3600 seconds.
  • LIVE_INTERVAL for live metrics is now 60 seconds.
• Moved snapshot_sync under the chain section of config.json.
• Snapshot syncing retries now include exponential backoff when syncing chain state.
• Job and container counts are now reported separately via metric sender. The REST port is also reported.
• chain/processor.py & chain/listener.py are extensively refactored to remove the dependency on on-chain events. SubscriptionCreated is now caught by repeatedly
  checking the latest sub_id & syncing all subscriptions since the last sync. SubscriptionCancelled is now caught by checking if activeAt is set to max uint32.
  This was an optimization done in the infernet-sdk 1.0.0 contracts. SubscriptionFulfilled is now checked instead by reading the redundancyCount from the coordinator contract.
• Guardian no longer checks whether container isn't supported, since that check is already being done at the ContainerLookup
  level. If a subscription's containers field is not empty, it means that it must require a subset of the containers that this
  node supports.
• Since node registration feature has been removed in 1.0.0, register_node & activate_node scripts have been removed from
  the scripts directory. The Wallet class also has the register_node & activate_node methods removed.
• Removed the "coordinator_address" flag from the config.json file. The address of the coordinator contract is now retrieved from the registry contract.

Fixed

• Orchestrator now works in dev mode (outside of docker), previously host.docker.internal was hardcoded.
• Surface dacite errors when parsing REST interface inputs for better UX.
• Don't return job IDs for Delegated Subscriptions (misleading, since results can only be fetched on-chain).
• Added pending job TTL (loose upper bound) to prevent jobs from being in a pending state indefinitely (due crashes and / or incorrect use of the /status endpoint)
• Fixed a bug where the node could not send multiple transactions in a single block.

Security

• Bumped aiohttp version to 3.9.4.
• Only localhost allowed to make calls to PUT /api/status.
