`get_block_hash(*, *, h)` should always return the block in the chain at slot `h`, and `get_shards_and_committees_for_slot(*, h)` should not change unless the dynasty changes.
Finally, we define `integer_sqrt` for use in reward/penalty calculations:
Finally, we abstractly define `integer_sqrt` for use in reward/penalty calculations:
```python
def integer_sqrt(n):
# Utilizes "Newton's Method"
x = n
y = (x + 1) // 2
while y < x:
x = y
y = (x + n // x) // 2
return x
return max(n in Z: n**2 <= x)
```
We leave `integer_sqrt` implementation details to each particular language/framework.
### On startup
* Let `x = get_new_shuffling(bytes([0] * 32), validators, 1, 0)` and set `crystallized_state.shard_and_committee_for_slots` to `x + x`
