There was a problem hiding this comment.
This breaks the Beacon API implementation: https://ethereum.github.io/beacon-APIs/#/ValidatorRequiredApi/publishBlockV2. If broadcast_validation: consensus is specified, the signature is expected to be verified before broadcasting.
To summarize:
- Propose using the Prysm API: broadcast without verifying
- Propose using the Beacon API with default settings: broadcast without verifying
- Propose using the Beacon API with
broadcast_validation: consensus: verify before broadcasting
You will need to add a separate check here: https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/blob/e36564c4d3c2e0ca5ce379bb67fbeb296e4598f5/beacon-chain/rpc/eth/beacon/handlers.go#L1164.

Verifying the block signature adds a batch and performs a full hash of the block unnecessarily.
