""" shard_state.slot = block.slot prev_gasprice = shard_state.gasprice shard_state.gasprice = compute_updated_gasprice(prev_gasprice, len(block.body)) if len(block.body) == 0: latest_block_root = shard_state.latest_block_root else: latest_block_root = hash_tree_root(block) shard_state.latest_block_root = latest_block_root shard_state.transition_digest = compute_shard_transition_digest( beacon_state, shard_state, block.beacon_parent_root, hash_tree_root(block.body), ) ``` We have a pure function `get_post_shard_state` for describing the fraud proof verification and honest validator behavior. ```python def get_post_shard_state(beacon_state: BeaconState, shard_state: ShardState, block: ShardBlock) -> ShardState: """ A pure function that returns a new post ShardState instead of modifying the given `shard_state`. """ post_state = shard_state.copy() shard_state_transition(beacon_state, post_state, block) return post_state ``` ## Fraud proofs ### Verifying the proof TODO. The intent is to have a single universal fraud proof type, which contains the following parts: 1. An on-time attestation `attestation` on some shard `shard` signing a `transition: ShardTransition` 2. An index `offset_index` of a particular position to focus on 3. The `transition: ShardTransition` itself 4. The full body of the shard block `shard_block` 5. A Merkle proof to the `shard_states` in the parent block the attestation is referencing 6. The `subkey` to generate the custody bit Call the following function to verify the proof: ```python def is_valid_fraud_proof(beacon_state: BeaconState, attestation: Attestation, offset_index: uint64, transition: ShardTransition, block: ShardBlock, subkey: BLSPubkey, beacon_parent_block: BeaconBlock) -> bool: # 1. Check if `custody_bits[offset_index][j] != generate_custody_bit(subkey, block_contents)` for any `j`. custody_bits = attestation.custody_bits_blocks for j in range(len(custody_bits[offset_index])): if custody_bits[offset_index][j] != generate_custody_bit(subkey, block): return True # 2. Check if the shard state transition result is wrong between # `transition.shard_states[offset_index - 1]` to `transition.shard_states[offset_index]`. if offset_index == 0: shard = get_shard(beacon_state, attestation) shard_states = beacon_parent_block.body.shard_transitions[shard].shard_states shard_state = shard_states[len(shard_states) - 1] else: shard_state = transition.shard_states[offset_index - 1] # Not doing the actual state updates here. shard_state = get_post_shard_state(beacon_state, shard_state, block) if shard_state.transition_digest != transition.shard_states[offset_index].transition_digest: return True return False ``` ```python def generate_custody_bit(subkey: BLSPubkey, block: ShardBlock) -> bool: # TODO ... ``` ## Honest committee member behavior ### Helper functions ```python def get_winning_proposal(beacon_state: BeaconState, proposals: Sequence[SignedShardBlock]) -> SignedShardBlock: # TODO: Let `winning_proposal` be the proposal with the largest number of total attestations from slots in # `state.shard_next_slots[shard]....slot-1` supporting it or any of its descendants, breaking ties by choosing # the first proposal locally seen.

Let `beacon_state` be the head beacon state you are building on, and let `QUARTER_PERIOD = SECONDS_PER_SLOT // 4`. `2 * QUARTER_PERIOD` seconds into slot `current_slot`, run `get_shard_transition(beacon_state, shard, shard_blocks)` to get `shard_transition`. ```python def get_shard_transition(beacon_state: BeaconState, shard: Shard, shard_blocks: Sequence[SignedShardBlock]) -> ShardTransition: offset_slots = compute_offset_slots(get_latest_slot_for_shard(beacon_state, shard), Slot(beacon_state.slot + 1)) proposals, shard_states, shard_data_roots = get_shard_state_transition_result(beacon_state, shard, shard_blocks) shard_block_lengths = [] proposer_signatures = [] for proposal in proposals: shard_block_lengths.append(len(proposal.message.body)) if proposal.signature != NO_SIGNATURE: proposer_signatures.append(proposal.signature) if len(proposer_signatures) > 0: proposer_signature_aggregate = bls.Aggregate(proposer_signatures) else: proposer_signature_aggregate = NO_SIGNATURE return ShardTransition( start_slot=offset_slots[0], shard_block_lengths=shard_block_lengths, shard_data_roots=shard_data_roots, shard_states=shard_states, proposer_signature_aggregate=proposer_signature_aggregate, ) ```
