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 and proof-of-stake votes for a beacon block. A sufficient number of attestations for the same shard block create a "crosslink", confirming the shard segment up to that shard block into the beacon chain. Crosslinks also serve as infrastructure for asynchronous cross-shard communication. ## 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 | | `Shard` | `uint64` | a shard number | | `ValidatorIndex` | `uint64` | a validator registry index | | `Gwei` | `uint64` | an amount in Gwei | | `Hash` | `Bytes32` | a hash | | `Version` | `Bytes4` | a fork version number | | `DomainType` | `Bytes4` | a domain type | | `Domain` | `Bytes8` | 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. | Name | Value | | - | - | | `FAR_FUTURE_EPOCH` | `Epoch(2**64 - 1)` | | `BASE_REWARDS_PER_EPOCH` | `5` | | `DEPOSIT_CONTRACT_TREE_DEPTH` | `2**5` (= 32) | | `SECONDS_PER_DAY` | `86400` | | `JUSTIFICATION_BITS_LENGTH` | `4` | | `ENDIANNESS` | `'little'` | ## Configuration *Note*: The default mainnet configuration values are included here for spec-design purposes. The different configurations for mainnet, testnets, and YAML-based testing can be found in the [`configs/constant_presets`](../../configs) directory. These configurations are updated for releases and may be out of sync during `dev` changes. ### Misc | Name | Value | | - | - | | `SHARD_COUNT` | `2**10` (= 1,024) | | `MAX_COMMITTEES_PER_SLOT` | `2**5` (= 32) | | `TARGET_COMMITTEE_SIZE` | `2**7` (= 128) | | `MAX_VALIDATORS_PER_COMMITTEE` | `2**12` (= 4,096) | | `MIN_PER_EPOCH_CHURN_LIMIT` | `2**2` (= 4) | | `CHURN_LIMIT_QUOTIENT` | `2**16` (= 65,536) | | `SHUFFLE_ROUND_COUNT` | `90` | | `MIN_GENESIS_ACTIVE_VALIDATOR_COUNT` | `2**16` (= 65,536) | | `MIN_GENESIS_TIME` | `1578009600` (Jan 3, 2020) | - For the safety of crosslinks, `TARGET_COMMITTEE_SIZE` exceeds [the recommended minimum committee size of 111](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) | ### Initial values | Name | Value | | - | - | | `GENESIS_SLOT` | `Slot(0)` | | `GENESIS_EPOCH` | `Epoch(0)` | | `BLS_WITHDRAWAL_PREFIX` | `Bytes1(b'\x00')` | ### Time parameters | Name | Value | Unit | Duration | | - | - | :-: | :-: | | `SECONDS_PER_SLOT` | `6` | seconds | 6 seconds | | `MIN_ATTESTATION_INCLUSION_DELAY` | `2**0` (= 1) | slots | 6 seconds | | `SLOTS_PER_EPOCH` | `2**6` (= 64) | slots | 6.4 minutes | | `MIN_SEED_LOOKAHEAD` | `2**0` (= 1) | epochs | 6.4 minutes | | `MAX_SEED_LOOKAHEAD` | `2**2` (= 4) | epochs | 25.6 minutes | | `SLOTS_PER_ETH1_VOTING_PERIOD` | `2**10` (= 1,024) | slots | ~1.7 hours | | `SLOTS_PER_HISTORICAL_ROOT` | `2**13` (= 8,192) | slots | ~13 hours | | `MIN_VALIDATOR_WITHDRAWABILITY_DELAY` | `2**8` (= 256) | epochs | ~27 hours | | `PERSISTENT_COMMITTEE_PERIOD` | `2**11` (= 2,048) | epochs | 9 days | | `MIN_EPOCHS_TO_INACTIVITY_PENALTY` | `2**2` (= 4) | epochs | 25.6 minutes | ### State list lengths | Name | Value | Unit | Duration | | - | - | :-: | :-: | | `EPOCHS_PER_HISTORICAL_VECTOR` | `2**16` (= 65,536) | epochs | ~0.8 years | | `EPOCHS_PER_SLASHINGS_VECTOR` | `2**13` (= 8,192) | epochs | ~36 days | | `HISTORICAL_ROOTS_LIMIT` | `2**24` (= 16,777,216) | historical roots | ~26,131 years | | `VALIDATOR_REGISTRY_LIMIT` | `2**40` (= 1,099,511,627,776) | validator spots | ### Rewards and penalties | Name | Value | | - | - | | `BASE_REWARD_FACTOR` | `2**6` (= 64) | | `WHISTLEBLOWER_REWARD_QUOTIENT` | `2**9` (= 512) | | `PROPOSER_REWARD_QUOTIENT` | `2**3` (= 8) | | `INACTIVITY_PENALTY_QUOTIENT` | `2**25` (= 33,554,432) | | `MIN_SLASHING_PENALTY_QUOTIENT` | `2**5` (= 32) | - The `INACTIVITY_PENALTY_QUOTIENT` equals `INVERSE_SQRT_E_DROP_TIME**2` where `INVERSE_SQRT_E_DROP_TIME := 2**12 epochs` (about 18 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)`. ### Max operations per block | Name | Value | | - | - | | `MAX_PROPOSER_SLASHINGS` | `2**4` (= 16) | | `MAX_ATTESTER_SLASHINGS` | `2**0` (= 1) | | `MAX_ATTESTATIONS` | `2**7` (= 128) | | `MAX_DEPOSITS` | `2**4` (= 16) | | `MAX_VOLUNTARY_EXITS` | `2**4` (= 16) | | `MAX_TRANSFERS` | `0` | ### Domain types The following types are defined, mapping into `DomainType` (little endian): | Name | Value | | - | - | | `DOMAIN_BEACON_PROPOSER` | `0` | | `DOMAIN_BEACON_ATTESTER` | `1` | | `DOMAIN_RANDAO` | `2` | | `DOMAIN_DEPOSIT` | `3` | | `DOMAIN_VOLUNTARY_EXIT` | `4` | | `DOMAIN_TRANSFER` | `5` | ## Containers The following types are [SimpleSerialize (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 #
