At the core of Ethereum 2.0 is a system chain called the "beacon chain". The beacon chain stores and manages the registry of validators. In the initial deployment phases of Ethereum 2.0, the only mechanism to become a validator is to make a one-way ETH transaction to a deposit contract on Ethereum 1.0. Activation as a validator happens when Ethereum 1.0 deposit receipts are processed by the beacon chain, the activation balance is reached, and a queuing process is completed. Exit is either voluntary or done forcibly as a penalty for misbehavior. The primary source of load on the beacon chain is "attestations". Attestations are simultaneously availability votes for a shard block (in a later Eth2 upgrade) and proof-of-stake votes for a beacon block (Phase 0). ## Notation Code snippets appearing in `this style` are to be interpreted as Python 3 code. ## Custom types We define the following Python custom types for type hinting and readability: | Name | SSZ equivalent | Description | | - | - | - | | `Slot` | `uint64` | a slot number | | `Epoch` | `uint64` | an epoch number | | `CommitteeIndex` | `uint64` | a committee index at a slot | | `ValidatorIndex` | `uint64` | a validator registry index | | `Gwei` | `uint64` | an amount in Gwei | | `Root` | `Bytes32` | a Merkle root | | `Hash32` | `Bytes32` | a 256-bit hash | | `Version` | `Bytes4` | a fork version number | | `DomainType` | `Bytes4` | a domain type | | `ForkDigest` | `Bytes4` | a digest of the current fork data | | `Domain` | `Bytes32` | a signature domain | | `BLSPubkey` | `Bytes48` | a BLS12-381 public key | | `BLSSignature` | `Bytes96` | a BLS12-381 signature | ## Constants The following values are (non-configurable) constants used throughout the specification. ### Misc | Name | Value | | - | - | | `GENESIS_SLOT` | `Slot(0)` | | `GENESIS_EPOCH` | `Epoch(0)` | | `FAR_FUTURE_EPOCH` | `Epoch(2**64 - 1)` | | `BASE_REWARDS_PER_EPOCH` | `uint64(4)` | | `DEPOSIT_CONTRACT_TREE_DEPTH` | `uint64(2**5)` (= 32) | | `JUSTIFICATION_BITS_LENGTH` | `uint64(4)` | | `ENDIANNESS` | `'little'` | ### Withdrawal prefixes | Name | Value | | - | - | | `BLS_WITHDRAWAL_PREFIX` | `Bytes1('0x00')` | | `ETH1_ADDRESS_WITHDRAWAL_PREFIX` | `Bytes1('0x01')` | ### Domain types | Name | Value | | - | - | | `DOMAIN_BEACON_PROPOSER` | `DomainType('0x00000000')` | | `DOMAIN_BEACON_ATTESTER` | `DomainType('0x01000000')` | | `DOMAIN_RANDAO` | `DomainType('0x02000000')` | | `DOMAIN_DEPOSIT` | `DomainType('0x03000000')` | | `DOMAIN_VOLUNTARY_EXIT` | `DomainType('0x04000000')` | | `DOMAIN_SELECTION_PROOF` | `DomainType('0x05000000')` | | `DOMAIN_AGGREGATE_AND_PROOF` | `DomainType('0x06000000')` | ## Preset *Note*: The below configuration is bundled as a preset: a bundle of configuration variables which are expected to differ between different modes of operation, e.g. testing, but not generally between different networks. Additional preset configurations can be found in the [`configs`](../../configs) directory. ### Misc | Name | Value | | - | - | | `MAX_COMMITTEES_PER_SLOT` | `uint64(2**6)` (= 64) | | `TARGET_COMMITTEE_SIZE` | `uint64(2**7)` (= 128) | | `MAX_VALIDATORS_PER_COMMITTEE` | `uint64(2**11)` (= 2,048) | | `SHUFFLE_ROUND_COUNT` | `uint64(90)` | | `HYSTERESIS_QUOTIENT` | `uint64(4)` | | `HYSTERESIS_DOWNWARD_MULTIPLIER` | `uint64(1)` | | `HYSTERESIS_UPWARD_MULTIPLIER` | `uint64(5)` | - For the safety of committees, `TARGET_COMMITTEE_SIZE` exceeds [the recommended minimum committee size of 111](http://web.archive.org/web/20190504131341/https://vitalik.ca/files/Ithaca201807_Sharding.pdf); with sufficient active validators (at least `SLOTS_PER_EPOCH * TARGET_COMMITTEE_SIZE`), the shuffling algorithm ensures committee sizes of at least `TARGET_COMMITTEE_SIZE`. (Unbiasable randomness with a Verifiable Delay Function (VDF) will improve committee robustness and lower the safe minimum committee size.) ### Gwei values | Name | Value | | - | - | | `MIN_DEPOSIT_AMOUNT` | `Gwei(2**0 * 10**9)` (= 1,000,000,000) | | `MAX_EFFECTIVE_BALANCE` | `Gwei(2**5 * 10**9)` (= 32,000,000,000) | | `EJECTION_BALANCE` | `Gwei(2**4 * 10**9)` (= 16,000,000,000) | | `EFFECTIVE_BALANCE_INCREMENT` | `Gwei(2**0 * 10**9)` (= 1,000,000,000) | ### Time parameters | Name | Value | Unit | Duration | | - | - | :-: | :-: | | `MIN_ATTESTATION_INCLUSION_DELAY` | `uint64(2**0)` (= 1) | slots | 12 seconds | | `SLOTS_PER_EPOCH` | `uint64(2**5)` (= 32) | slots | 6.4 minutes | | `MIN_SEED_LOOKAHEAD` | `uint64(2**0)` (= 1) | epochs | 6.4 minutes | | `MAX_SEED_LOOKAHEAD` | `uint64(2**2)` (= 4) | epochs | 25.6 minutes | | `MIN_EPOCHS_TO_INACTIVITY_PENALTY` | `uint64(2**2)` (= 4) | epochs | 25.6 minutes | | `EPOCHS_PER_ETH1_VOTING_PERIOD` | `uint64(2**6)` (= 64) | epochs | ~6.8 hours | | `SLOTS_PER_HISTORICAL_ROOT` | `uint64(2**13)` (= 8,192) | slots | ~27 hours | ### State list lengths | Name | Value | Unit | Duration | | - | - | :-: | :-: | | `EPOCHS_PER_HISTORICAL_VECTOR` | `uint64(2**16)` (= 65,536) | epochs | ~0.8 years | | `EPOCHS_PER_SLASHINGS_VECTOR` | `uint64(2**13)` (= 8,192) | epochs | ~36 days | | `HISTORICAL_ROOTS_LIMIT` | `uint64(2**24)` (= 16,777,216) | historical roots | ~52,262 years | | `VALIDATOR_REGISTRY_LIMIT` | `uint64(2**40)` (= 1,099,511,627,776) | validators | ### Rewards and penalties | Name | Value | | - | - | | `BASE_REWARD_FACTOR` | `uint64(2**6)` (= 64) | | `WHISTLEBLOWER_REWARD_QUOTIENT` | `uint64(2**9)` (= 512) | | `PROPOSER_REWARD_QUOTIENT` | `uint64(2**3)` (= 8) | | `INACTIVITY_PENALTY_QUOTIENT` | `uint64(2**26)` (= 67,108,864) | | `MIN_SLASHING_PENALTY_QUOTIENT` | `uint64(2**7)` (= 128) | | `PROPORTIONAL_SLASHING_MULTIPLIER` | `uint64(1)` | - The `INACTIVITY_PENALTY_QUOTIENT` equals `INVERSE_SQRT_E_DROP_TIME**2` where `INVERSE_SQRT_E_DROP_TIME := 2**13` epochs (about 36 days) is the time it takes the inactivity penalty to reduce the balance of non-participating validators to about `1/sqrt(e) ~= 60.6%`. Indeed, the balance retained by offline validators after `n` epochs is about `(1 - 1/INACTIVITY_PENALTY_QUOTIENT)**(n**2/2)`; so after `INVERSE_SQRT_E_DROP_TIME` epochs, it is roughly `(1 - 1/INACTIVITY_PENALTY_QUOTIENT)**(INACTIVITY_PENALTY_QUOTIENT/2) ~= 1/sqrt(e)`. Note this value will be upgraded to `2**24` after Phase 0 mainnet stabilizes to provide a faster recovery in the event of an inactivity leak. - The `PROPORTIONAL_SLASHING_MULTIPLIER` is set to `1` at initial mainnet launch, resulting in one-third of the minimum accountable safety margin in the event of a finality attack. After Phase 0 mainnet stablizes, this value will be upgraded to `3` to provide the maximal minimum accountable safety margin. ### Max operations per block | Name | Value | | - | - | | `MAX_PROPOSER_SLASHINGS` | `2**4` (= 16) | | `MAX_ATTESTER_SLASHINGS` | `2**1` (= 2) | | `MAX_ATTESTATIONS` | `2**7` (= 128) | | `MAX_DEPOSITS` | `2**4` (= 16) | | `MAX_VOLUNTARY_EXITS` | `2**4` (= 16) | ## Configuration *Note*: The default mainnet configuration values are included here for illustrative purposes. Defaults for this more dynamic type of configuration are available with the presets in the [`configs`](../../configs) directory. Testnets and other types of chain instances may use a different configuration. ### Genesis settings | Name | Value | | - | - | | `MIN_GENESIS_ACTIVE_VALIDATOR_COUNT` | `uint64(2**14)` (= 16,384) | | `MIN_GENESIS_TIME` | `uint64(1606824000)` (Dec 1, 2020, 12pm UTC) | | `GENESIS_FORK_VERSION` | `Version('0x00000000')` | | `GENESIS_DELAY` | `uint64(604800)` (7 days) | ### Time parameters | Name | Value | Unit | Duration | | - | - | :-: | :-: | | `SECONDS_PER_SLOT` | `uint64(12)` | seconds | 12 seconds | | `SECONDS_PER_ETH1_BLOCK` | `uint64(14)` | seconds | 14 seconds | | `MIN_VALIDATOR_WITHDRAWABILITY_DELAY` | `uint64(2**8)` (= 256) | epochs | ~27 hours | | `SHARD_COMMITTEE_PERIOD` | `uint64(2**8)` (= 256) | epochs | ~27 hours | | `ETH1_FOLLOW_DISTANCE` | `uint64(2**11)` (= 2,048) | Eth1 blocks | ~8 hours | ### Validator Churn | Name | Value | | - | - | | `MIN_PER_EPOCH_CHURN_LIMIT` | `uint64(2**2)` (= 4) | | `CHURN_LIMIT_QUOTIENT` | `uint64(2**16)` (= 65,536) | ## Containers The following types are [SimpleSerialize (SSZ)](../../ssz/simple-serialize.md) containers. *Note*: The definitions are ordered topologically to facilitate execution of the spec. *Note*: Fields missing in container instantiations default to their zero value. ### Misc dependencies #### `Fork` ```python class Fork(Container): previous_version: Version current_version: Version epoch: Epoch #
