I think this is counterintuitive. In my original comment I was thinking we would name the metric something like execution_verified 0|1, with 0 representing the optimistic case and 1 representing full sync. Or if we keep the optimistic_sync name I think we should swap it so that 1 = optimistic, 0 = not optimistic. That might actually be the clearest. We would just need to display the 0 as "good" in our grafana chart

Revised in revise
If you think the metric should be placed in another place (e.g., execution layer metrics) and rename to execution_verified, then I can revise to that

0if optimistic sync and1for normal syncAdditional Info
Tested and it is working, the optimistic sync is triggered by running
lcli mock-elwithout the flag--all-payloads-valid true, so the beacon node sync is optimistic under this situation.
