# Ethereum 2.0 Phase 1 -- The Beacon Chain for Shards

**Notice**: This document is a work-in-progress for researchers and implementers.

## Table of contents

<!-- TOC -->

TODO

<!-- /TOC -->

## Introduction

This document describes the extensions made to the Phase 0 design of The Beacon Chain
 to facilitate the new shards as part of Phase 1 of Eth2.

## Custom types

We define the following Python custom types for type hinting and readability:

| Name | SSZ equivalent | Description |
| - | - | - |
| `Shard` | `uint64` | a shard number |

## Configuration

Configuration is not namespaced. Instead it is strictly an extension;
 no constants of phase 0 change, but new constants are adopted for changing behaviors.

### Misc

#### Updated `is_valid_indexed_attestation`

Note that this replaces the Phase 0 `is_valid_indexed_attestation`.

#### Shard transition false positives

```python

    # Verify that a `shard_transition` in a block is empty if an attestation was not processed for it
    for shard in range(ACTIVE_SHARDS):
        if state.shard_states[shard].slot != state.slot - 1:
            assert block_body.shard_transition[shard] == ShardTransition()
```

#### Light client processing

```python
def process_light_client_signatures(state: BeaconState, block_body: BeaconBlockBody) -> None:
    committee = get_light_client_committee(state, get_current_epoch(state))
    assert len(block_body.light_client_signature_bitfield) == len(committee)

### Epoch transition

This epoch transition overrides the phase0 epoch transition:

```python
def process_epoch(state: BeaconState) -> None:
    process_justification_and_finalization(state)
    process_rewards_and_penalties(state)
    process_registry_updates(state)
    process_reveal_deadlines(state)
    process_slashings(state)
    process_final_updates(state)
    process_custody_final_updates(state)
    process_online_tracking(state)
    process_light_client_committee_updates(state)
```

#### Custody game updates

`process_reveal_deadlines` and `process_custody_final_updates` are defined in [the Custody Game spec](./1_custody-game.md), 

#### Online-tracking

```python
def process_online_tracking(state: BeaconState) -> None:
    # Slowly remove validators from the "online" set if they do not show up
    for index in range(len(state.validators)):
        if state.online_countdown[index] != 0:
            state.online_countdown[index] = state.online_countdown[index] - 1

    # Process pending attestations
    for pending_attestation in state.current_epoch_attestations + state.previous_epoch_attestations:
        for index in get_attesting_indices(state, pending_attestation.data, pending_attestation.aggregation_bits):
            state.online_countdown[index] = ONLINE_PERIOD
```

#### Light client committee updates

```python
def process_light_client_committee_updates(state: BeaconState) -> None:
    # Update light client committees
    if get_current_epoch(state) % LIGHT_CLIENT_COMMITTEE_PERIOD == 0:
        state.current_light_committee = state.next_light_committee
        new_committee = get_light_client_committee(state, get_current_epoch(state) + LIGHT_CLIENT_COMMITTEE_PERIOD)
        state.next_light_committee = committee_to_compact_committee(state, new_committee)
```
