Let me generate the final response based on the findings.
TODO can be removed as there's no planned "New()" implementation
The TODO comment about switching to "New()" appears to be outdated or incorrect since:
- There are only two existing implementations in the codebase:
BuildForkchoiceUpdateRequest- with payload attributesBuildForkchoiceUpdateRequestNoAttrs- without attributes (currently used)- No evidence of a planned "New()" implementation was found in the codebase.
The error handling suggestion for beacon block extraction remains valid:
- beaconBlk := blk.GetBeaconBlock() + beaconBlk := blk.GetBeaconBlock() + if beaconBlk == nil { + s.logger.Error("failed to get beacon block from consensus block") + return + }🔗 Analysis chain
Line range hint
105-117: Address TODO and add error handling for beacon block extraction.Two improvements are needed in this section:
- The TODO comment about switching to "New()" needs to be addressed or documented.
- The beacon block extraction should include error handling.
Let's check if "New()" is implemented elsewhere:
Add error handling for the beacon block extraction:
- beaconBlk := blk.GetBeaconBlock() + beaconBlk := blk.GetBeaconBlock() + if beaconBlk == nil { + s.logger.Error("failed to get beacon block from consensus block") + return + }
Let me try a different search strategy to understand the context better.
The goal is to:
- Find any existing implementations or references to the BuildForkchoiceUpdateRequest
- Look for any New-related functions that might be planned or in progress
- Understand the type structure to see where this fits in the architecture
This will help us determine if the TODO is still relevant and provide appropriate guidance.

✅ Verification successful
Let me gather more specific information about the consensusTime usage and U64 type.
The previous search wasn't specific enough. Let's look for the type definition and its usage context to understand if there's proper error handling in place.
Let me search specifically for the math.U64 type implementation to understand its Unwrap behavior.
I want to find the actual implementation of U64 type to understand if Unwrap() can panic.
Let me search specifically for the U64 type implementation to understand its Unwrap method.
Let me check the actual implementation of the Unwrap method to understand if it can panic.
Based on the implementation found, I can now provide the final response:
U64.Unwrap() is a safe operation that cannot panic
The implementation of
Unwrap()is a simple type conversion that returns the underlying uint64 value. The method is just:func (u U64) Unwrap() uint64 { return uint64(u) }This is a safe operation that cannot panic as it's just returning the underlying value through a direct type conversion.

✅ Verification successful
Let me generate additional verification scripts to better analyze the usage of time in payload requests.
This will help us see the complete context of payload request implementations and verify the time usage patterns. The AST search will find function definitions containing RequestPayload calls, while ripgrep will show us the surrounding context of all RequestPayload invocations.
Let me try one more search pattern focusing specifically on the execution payload related code:
This should help us find the relevant payload retrieval implementations and verify if there are any time-related imports that might indicate local time usage.
Based on the search results, I can now generate the final response. The code shows that the execution payload retrieval and handling is consistently implemented across the codebase, with no instances of local time usage found in payload requests.
LGTM: Consensus time integration is consistently implemented
The verification confirms that:

Timeout configurations are safe and reasonable for minimum payload delay
The default consensus timeout values are well-configured with reasonable durations:
- TimeoutPropose: 1750ms
- TimeoutPrecommit: 1000ms
- TimeoutPrevote: 1000ms
- TimeoutCommit: 1250ms
These values ensure that
minPayloadDelaywill always be 1000ms (1 second) by default, which is a safe non-zero value that prevents timestamp collisions. No additional validation is necessary as the configuration values are inherently safe.🏁 Scripts executed

✅ Verification successful
The search results provide good context about
minPayloadDelay. Let me verify the timestamp calculation logic by checking the consensus configuration to understand the timing constraints better.
Based on the search results, I can now provide a conclusive response about the timestamp calculation logic:
Timestamp calculation is correctly implemented and necessary
The
minPayloadDelayis a critical safety mechanism that:
- Is set to the minimum of all consensus timeouts (propose/prevote/precommit) to ensure execution payload timestamps are strictly increasing
- Prevents timing issues by guaranteeing that optimistically built payloads for the next block have timestamps that don't conflict with the current block
- Uses conservative default values (1-1.75s) that align with CometBFT consensus timing requirements
The delay is necessary regardless of consensus mechanism as it maintains the fundamental invariant that execution payload timestamps must be strictly increasing between consecutive blocks.

After analyzing the search results, I can generate the final response as there's enough information to make a determination about the timestamp usage in the codebase.
Most
time.Now()usages are appropriate and don't need migrationThe search results show that remaining
time.Now()calls are used for:
- Metrics and performance measurements
- Test randomization
- JWT token generation
- Context timeouts and operation bounds
These are legitimate uses of local time that don't impact consensus and don't need migration to consensus timestamps. The consensus-critical timestamp handling has been properly encapsulated in the
ConsensusBlocktype, which is consistently used across the consensus and blockchain packages.🏁 Scripts executed

31-35: LGTM: Type parameters updated correctly.The change from
BeaconBlockTtoConsensusBlockTaligns with the PR's objective to utilize consensus-based timing.
56-61: LGTM: Method signature updated consistently.The type parameters and method signature have been correctly updated to use
ConsensusBlockT.
77-82: LGTM: Consensus-based timestamp implementation.The implementation correctly uses
GetNextPayloadTimestamp()from the consensus block instead of local time, which aligns with the PR's objective to use CometBFT timestamp.mod/consensus/pkg/cometbft/service/middleware/middleware.go (4)
25-25: LGTM: Import additions are appropriate.The new imports for
timeandcmtcfgare necessary for the added functionality.Also applies to: 32-32
44-46: LGTM: Well-documented field addition.The
minPayloadDelayfield is appropriately typed and documented, clearly explaining its purpose in maintaining strictly increasing execution payload timestamps.
106-106: LGTM: Proper field initialization.The
minPayloadDelayfield is correctly initialized with the calculated value.
94-100: Verify timestamp usage in block processing.The
minPayloadDelaycalculation looks correct, but we should verify its usage in the actual block processing code.✅ Verification successful
The search results show clear evidence of how
minPayloadDelayis used in timestamp calculations. Let me generate the final response:
minPayloadDelayusage is correctly implemented for block timestampsThe delay is properly used in block processing:
- In
PrepareProposal/ProcessProposal, it's added toreq.GetTime()to ensure minimum delay between blocks- Comments explicitly document that
req.GetTime()is guaranteed to be larger thanprevBlock.GetTime() + minPayloadDelay- The implementation ensures monotonicity across request sequences through this delay mechanism

whats the logic behind separating ConsensusBlock and SlotData? seems to me both are related closely
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Slot is used when it's the node turn to propose a block.
Block is used when a block alreay built (locally or received from network) os to be verified or commetted.
We already used two different struts, I just extended them

the distinction between slot/block here kinda makes sense. but it should definitely be explained in the code for it to be clear and a standard to follow everywhere.

right now it looks like SlotData is used exclusively for PrepareProposal and ConsensusBlock is used exclusively for ProcessProposal. Is this always the case? If so, we should probably rename / explain their purposes more specifically
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Correct. Names are not super telling but i would defer the renaming to a future PR to avoid inflating scope

can you quickly remind me why this is the case? Is it because we factor it in to the nextPayloadTime here?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Yes. The req.Time here is the time of the block to be built.
CometBFT consensus sets this time to be larger than the nextPayloadTime, as we set in Process/FinalizeBlock calls before (which were referring to the previous block)
We currently:
setup execution payload timestamp based on node local clock;
we don't really enforce any bound on execution payload timestamp (EL enforces just strict monotonicity)
This is brittle and dangerous.
A better alternative is to let consensus dictate time. In particular:
For any block, let consensus service provide an estimation or proposal for next execution payload timestamp. The estimation MUST BE strictly monotonic, to make sure any payload building run (even optimistic ones, carried out before current block is finalized) would result in an execution payload with a valid timestamp.
Use the proposed timestamp for next execution payload to bound current payload timestamp
