## Introduction

This document extends [polynomial-commitments.md](polynomial-commitments.md) with the functions required for data availability sampling (DAS). It is not part of the core Deneb spec but an extension that can be optionally implemented to allow nodes to reduce their load using DAS.

For any KZG library extended to support DAS, functions flagged as "Public method" MUST be provided by the underlying KZG library as public functions. All other functions are private functions used internally by the KZG library.

Public functions MUST accept raw bytes as input and perform the required cryptographic normalization before invoking any internal functions.

## Custom types

| Name | SSZ equivalent | Description |
| - | - | - |
| `PolynomialCoeff` | `List[BLSFieldElement, FIELD_ELEMENTS_PER_EXT_BLOB]` | A polynomial in coefficient form |
| `Cell` | `Vector[BLSFieldElement, FIELD_ELEMENTS_PER_CELL]` | The unit of blob data that can come with their own KZG proofs |
| `CellID` | `uint64` | Cell identifier |
| `RowIndex` | `uint64` | Row identifier |

## Preset

### Cells

Cells are the smallest unit of blob data that can come with their own KZG proofs. Samples can be constructed from one or several cells (e.g. an individual cell or line).

| Name | Value | Description |
| - | - | - |
| `FIELD_ELEMENTS_PER_EXT_BLOB` | `2 * FIELD_ELEMENTS_PER_BLOB` | Number of field elements in a Reed-Solomon extended blob |
| `FIELD_ELEMENTS_PER_CELL` | `uint64(64)` | Number of field elements in a cell |
| `BYTES_PER_CELL` | `FIELD_ELEMENTS_PER_CELL * BYTES_PER_FIELD_ELEMENT` | The number of bytes in a cell |
| `CELLS_PER_BLOB` | `FIELD_ELEMENTS_PER_EXT_BLOB // FIELD_ELEMENTS_PER_CELL` | The number of cells in a blob |
| `RANDOM_CHALLENGE_KZG_CELL_BATCH_DOMAIN` | `b'RCKZGCBATCH__V1_'` |
