SSZ support for publishing blocks to the beacon node #525
Open
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The new v2 publish block endpoint can accept either json or ssz. We should publish blocks to the beacon node using ssz with the v2 endpoint being supported in the relay. This will improve block publishing latency.
Describe the solution you'd like
Serialise the payload with ssz instead of json when publishing to the v2 endpoint.
