# Ethereum 2.0 Phase 1 -- The Beacon Chain for Shards

**Notice**: This document is a work-in-progress for researchers and implementers.

## Table of contents

<!-- TOC -->

TODO

<!-- /TOC -->

## Introduction

This document describes the extensions made to the Phase 0 design of The Beacon Chain
 to facilitate the new shards as part of Phase 1 of Eth2.

## Custom types

We define the following Python custom types for type hinting and readability:

| Name | SSZ equivalent | Description |
| - | - | - |
| `Shard` | `uint64` | a shard number |
| `OnlineEpochs` | `uint8` | online countdown epochs |

## Configuration

Configuration is not namespaced. Instead it is strictly an extension;
 no constants of phase 0 change, but new constants are adopted for changing behaviors.

### Misc

| Name | Value | Unit | Duration |
| - | - | - | - | 
| `MAX_SHARDS` | `2**10` (= 1024) |
| `ONLINE_PERIOD` | `OnlineEpochs(2**3)` (= 8) | online epochs | ~51 min |
| `LIGHT_CLIENT_COMMITTEE_SIZE` | `2**7` (= 128) |
| `LIGHT_CLIENT_COMMITTEE_PERIOD` | `Epoch(2**8)` (= 256) | epochs | ~27 hours |
| `SHARD_COMMITTEE_PERIOD` | `Epoch(2**8)` (= 256) | epochs | ~27 hours |
| `SHARD_BLOCK_CHUNK_SIZE` | `2**18` (= 262,144) | |
| `MAX_SHARD_BLOCK_CHUNKS` | `2**2` (= 4) | |
| `TARGET_SHARD_BLOCK_SIZE` | `3 * 2**16` (= 196,608) | |
| `SHARD_BLOCK_OFFSETS` | `[1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233]` | |
| `MAX_SHARD_BLOCKS_PER_ATTESTATION` | `len(SHARD_BLOCK_OFFSETS)` | |
| `MAX_GASPRICE` | `Gwei(2**14)` (= 16,384) | Gwei | |
| `MIN_GASPRICE` | `Gwei(2**5)` (= 32) | Gwei | |
| `GASPRICE_ADJUSTMENT_COEFFICIENT` | `2**3` (= 8) | |
| `DOMAIN_SHARD_PROPOSAL` | `DomainType('0x80000000')` | |
| `DOMAIN_SHARD_COMMITTEE` | `DomainType('0x81000000')` | |
| `DOMAIN_LIGHT_CLIENT` | `DomainType('0x82000000')` | |

## Updated containers

The following containers have updated definitions in Phase 1.

```

#### Extended `AttesterSlashing`

Note that the `attestation_1` and `attestation_2` have a new `IndexedAttestation` definition.

```python
class AttesterSlashing(Container):
    attestation_1: IndexedAttestation
    attestation_2: IndexedAttestation
```

### Extended `Validator`

```python

    activation_eligibility_epoch: Epoch  # When criteria for activation were met
    activation_epoch: Epoch

    withdrawable_epoch: Epoch  # When validator can withdraw funds
    # Custody game
    # next_custody_secret_to_reveal is initialised to the custody period
    # (of the particular validator) in which the validator is activated
    # = get_custody_period_for_validator(...)
    next_custody_secret_to_reveal: uint64

### Predicates

#### Updated `is_valid_indexed_attestation`

Note that this replaces the Phase 0 `is_valid_indexed_attestation`.

```python
def is_valid_indexed_attestation(state: BeaconState, indexed_attestation: IndexedAttestation) -> bool:

### Block processing

```python
def process_block(state: BeaconState, block: BeaconBlock) -> None:
    process_block_header(state, block)
    process_randao(state, block.body)
    process_eth1_data(state, block.body)
    verify_shard_transition_false_positives(state, block.body)
    process_light_client_signatures(state, block.body)
    process_operations(state, block.body)
```


#### Operations

```python
def process_operations(state: BeaconState, body: BeaconBlockBody) -> None:
    # Verify that outstanding deposits are processed up to the maximum number of deposits
    assert len(body.deposits) == min(MAX_DEPOSITS, state.eth1_data.deposit_count - state.eth1_deposit_index)

```python
def validate_attestation(state: BeaconState, attestation: Attestation) -> None:
    data = attestation.data
    assert data.index < get_committee_count_at_slot(state, data.slot)
    assert data.index < get_active_shard_count(state)
