## Introduction
Capella is a consensus-layer upgrade containing a number of features related
to validator withdrawals. Including:
* Automatic withdrawals of `withdrawable` validators
* Partial withdrawals during block proposal
* Operation to change from `BLS_WITHDRAWAL_PREFIX` to
`ETH1_ADDRESS_WITHDRAWAL_PREFIX` versioned withdrawal credentials to enable withdrawals for a validator
## Custom types
## Constants
We define the following Python custom types for type hinting and readability:
| Name | SSZ equivalent | Description |
| - | - | - |
| `TransactionType` | `Bytes1` | an EIP-2718 type |
## Preset
### State list lengths
| Name | Value | Unit | Duration |
| - | - | :-: | :-: |
| `WITHDRAWAL_TRANSACTION_LIMIT` | `uint64(2**40)` (= 1,099,511,627,776) | withdrawal transactions enqueued in state|
### Execution
| Name | Value | Description |
| - | - | - |
| `TX_TYPE_WITHDRAWAL` | `TransactionType('0x05')` | EIP-2718 TX Type |
| `MAX_WITHDRAWAL_TRANSACTIONS_PER_PAYLOAD` | `uint64(2**4)` (= 16) | Maximum amount of withdrawal transactions allowed in each payload |
## Configuration

#### `ExecutionPayload`
```python

# Execution block header fields
parent_hash: Hash32
fee_recipient: ExecutionAddress # 'beneficiary' in the yellow paper
state_root: Bytes32
receipts_root: Bytes32
logs_bloom: ByteVector[BYTES_PER_LOGS_BLOOM]

withdrawal_transactions: List[WithdrawalTransaction, MAX_WITHDRAWAL_TRANSACTIONS_PER_PAYLOAD] # [New in Capella]
```
#### `ExecutionPayloadHeader`
```python
class ExecutionPayloadHeader(Container):
# Execution block header fields
parent_hash: Hash32
fee_recipient: ExecutionAddress
state_root: Bytes32
receipts_root: Bytes32
logs_bloom: ByteVector[BYTES_PER_LOGS_BLOOM]

base_fee_per_gas: uint256
# Extra payload fields
block_hash: Hash32 # Hash of execution block
transactions_root: Root
withdrawal_transactions_root: Root # [New in Capella]
```
### New containers
#### `WithdrawalTransaction`
New EIP-2718 transaction type, with the format being the single byte `TX_TYPE_WITHDRAWAL`
followed by an SSZ encoding of the `WithdrawalTransaction` container comprising the transaction contents.
*Note*: This container is used for both a special TX that goes into an `ExecutionPayload`
as well as in the `BeaconState`'s `withdrawal_receipts` queue.
```python
class WithdrawalTransaction(Container):
address: ExecutionAddress
amount: Gwei
```
## Helpers
### Beacon state mutators
#### `withdraw`
```python
def withdraw(state: BeaconState, index: ValidatorIndex, amount: Gwei) -> None:
# Decrease the validator's balance
decrease_balance(state, index, amount)
# Create a corresponding withdrawal receipt
receipt = WithdrawalTransaction(
address=state.validators[index].withdrawal_credentials[12:],
amount=amount,
)
state.withdrawal_receipts.append(receipt)
```
### Predicates
#### `is_fully_withdrawable_validator`
```python
def is_fully_withdrawable_validator(validator: Validator, epoch: Epoch) -> bool:
"""
Check if ``validator`` is fully withdrawable.
"""
is_eth1_withdrawal_prefix = validator.withdrawal_credentials[0:1] == ETH1_ADDRESS_WITHDRAWAL_PREFIX
return is_eth1_withdrawal_prefix and validator.withdrawable_epoch <= epoch < validator.withdrawn_epoch
```
## Beacon chain state transition function
### Epoch processing
```python
def process_epoch(state: BeaconState) -> None:
process_justification_and_finalization(state)
process_inactivity_updates(state)
process_rewards_and_penalties(state)
process_registry_updates(state)
process_slashings(state)
process_eth1_data_reset(state)
process_effective_balance_updates(state)
process_slashings_reset(state)
process_randao_mixes_reset(state)
process_historical_roots_update(state)
process_participation_flag_updates(state)
process_sync_committee_updates(state)
process_full_withdrawals(state) # [New in Capella]
```
#### Withdrawals
*Note*: The function `process_full_withdrawals` is new.
```python
def process_full_withdrawals(state: BeaconState) -> None:
current_epoch = get_current_epoch(state)
for index, validator in enumerate(state.validators):
if is_fully_withdrawable_validator(validator, current_epoch):
# TODO, consider the zero-balance case
withdraw(state, ValidatorIndex(index), state.balances[index])
validator.withdrawn_epoch = current_epoch
```
### Block processing
```python
def process_block(state: BeaconState, block: BeaconBlock) -> None:
process_block_header(state, block)
if is_execution_enabled(state, block.body):
process_withdrawal_transactions(state, block.body.execution_payload) # [New in Capella]
process_execution_payload(state, block.body.execution_payload, EXECUTION_ENGINE) # [Modified in Capella]
process_randao(state, block.body)
process_eth1_data(state, block.body)
process_operations(state, block.body)
process_sync_aggregate(state, block.body.sync_aggregate)
```
#### New `process_withdrawal_transactions`
```python
def process_withdrawal_transactions(state: BeaconState, payload: ExecutionPayload) -> None:
num_withdrawal_transactions = min(MAX_WITHDRAWAL_TRANSACTIONS_PER_PAYLOAD, len(state.withdrawal_receipts))
dequeued_withdrawal_receipts = state.withdrawal_receipts[:num_withdrawal_transactions]
assert len(dequeued_withdrawal_receipts) == len(payload.withdrawal_transactions)
for dequeued_receipt, withdrawal_transaction in zip(dequeued_withdrawal_receipts, payload.withdrawal_transactions):
assert dequeued_receipt == withdrawal_transaction
# Ensure no withdrawal type transactions in the normal payload transactions
# assert no_withdrawal_type_transactions_in(payload.transactions)
# Remove dequeued receipts from state
state.withdrawal_receipts = state.withdrawal_receipts[num_withdrawal_transactions:]
```
#### Modified `process_execution_payload`
*Note*: The function `process_execution_payload` is modified to use the new `ExecutionPayloadHeader` type.
```python
def process_execution_payload(state: BeaconState, payload: ExecutionPayload, execution_engine: ExecutionEngine) -> None:
# Verify consistency of the parent hash with respect to the previous execution payload header
if is_merge_transition_complete(state):
assert payload.parent_hash == state.latest_execution_payload_header.block_hash
# Verify prev_randao
assert payload.prev_randao == get_randao_mix(state, get_current_epoch(state))
# Verify timestamp
assert payload.timestamp == compute_timestamp_at_slot(state, state.slot)
# Verify the execution payload is valid
assert execution_engine.notify_new_payload(payload)
# Cache execution payload header
state.latest_execution_payload_header = ExecutionPayloadHeader(
parent_hash=payload.parent_hash,
fee_recipient=payload.fee_recipient,
state_root=payload.state_root,
receipts_root=payload.receipts_root,
logs_bloom=payload.logs_bloom,
prev_randao=payload.prev_randao,
block_number=payload.block_number,
gas_limit=payload.gas_limit,
gas_used=payload.gas_used,
timestamp=payload.timestamp,
extra_data=payload.extra_data,
base_fee_per_gas=payload.base_fee_per_gas,
block_hash=payload.block_hash,
transactions_root=hash_tree_root(payload.transactions),
withdrawal_transactions_root=hash_tree_root(payload.withdrawal_transactions),
)
```
