## 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 |
| `OnlineEpochs` | `uint8` | online countdown epochs |

## 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

| Name | Value | Unit | Duration |
| - | - | - | - | 
| `MAX_SHARDS` | `2**10` (= 1024) |
| `ONLINE_PERIOD` | `OnlineEpochs(2**3)` (= 8) | online epochs | ~51 min |
| `LIGHT_CLIENT_COMMITTEE_SIZE` | `2**7` (= 128) |
| `LIGHT_CLIENT_COMMITTEE_PERIOD` | `Epoch(2**8)` (= 256) | epochs | ~27 hours |
| `MAX_SHARD_BLOCK_SIZE` | `2**20` (= 1,048,576) | |
| `TARGET_SHARD_BLOCK_SIZE` | `2**18` (= 262,144) | |
| `SHARD_BLOCK_OFFSETS` | `[1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233]` | |
| `MAX_SHARD_BLOCKS_PER_ATTESTATION` | `len(SHARD_BLOCK_OFFSETS)` | |
| `MAX_GASPRICE` | `Gwei(2**14)` (= 16,384) | Gwei | |
| `MIN_GASPRICE` | `Gwei(2**3)` (= 8) | Gwei | |
| `GASPRICE_ADJUSTMENT_COEFFICIENT` | `2**3` (= 8) | |
| `DOMAIN_SHARD_PROPOSAL` | `DomainType('0x80000000')` | |
| `DOMAIN_SHARD_COMMITTEE` | `DomainType('0x81000000')` | |
| `DOMAIN_LIGHT_CLIENT` | `DomainType('0x82000000')` | |
| `NO_SIGNATURE` | `BLSSignature(b'\x00' * 96)` | |

## Updated containers
