## Introduction
|
|
|
|
This patch adds transaction execution to the beacon chain as part of the Merge fork.
|
|
|
|
## Custom types
|
|
|
|
*Note*: The `Transaction` type is a stub which is not final.

|
|
|
| Name | SSZ equivalent | Description |
|
|
| - | - | - |
|
|
| `OpaqueTransaction` | `ByteList[MAX_BYTES_PER_OPAQUE_TRANSACTION]` | a [typed transaction envelope](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-2718#opaque-byte-array-rather-than-an-rlp-array) structured as `TransactionType \|\| TransactionPayload` |
|
|
| `Transaction` | `Union[OpaqueTransaction]` | a transaction |
|
|

### New containers
|
|
|
|
#### `ExecutionPayload`
|
|
|
|
*Note*: The `base_fee_per_gas` field is serialized in little-endian.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
class ExecutionPayload(Container):
|
|
# Execution block header fields
|
|
parent_hash: Hash32
|
|
coinbase: Bytes20 # 'beneficiary' in the yellow paper
|
|
state_root: Bytes32
|
|
receipt_root: Bytes32 # 'receipts root' in the yellow paper
|
|
logs_bloom: ByteVector[BYTES_PER_LOGS_BLOOM]
|
|
random: Bytes32 # 'difficulty' in the yellow paper
|
|
block_number: uint64 # 'number' in the yellow paper
|
|
gas_limit: uint64
|
|
gas_used: uint64
|
|
timestamp: uint64
|
|
base_fee_per_gas: Bytes32 # base fee introduced in EIP-1559, little-endian serialized
|
|
# Extra payload fields
|
|
block_hash: Hash32 # Hash of execution block
|
|
transactions: List[Transaction, MAX_TRANSACTIONS_PER_PAYLOAD]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### `ExecutionPayloadHeader`
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
class ExecutionPayloadHeader(Container):
|
|
# Execution block header fields
|
|
parent_hash: Hash32
|
|
coinbase: Bytes20
|
|
state_root: Bytes32
|
|
receipt_root: Bytes32
|
|
logs_bloom: ByteVector[BYTES_PER_LOGS_BLOOM]
|
|
random: Bytes32
|
|
block_number: uint64
|
|
gas_limit: uint64
|
|
gas_used: uint64
|
|
timestamp: uint64
|
|
base_fee_per_gas: Bytes32
|
|
# Extra payload fields
|
|
block_hash: Hash32 # Hash of execution block
|
|
transactions_root: Root
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Helper functions
|
|
|
|
### Predicates
|
|
|
|
#### `is_merge_complete`
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
def is_merge_complete(state: BeaconState) -> bool:
|
|
return state.latest_execution_payload_header != ExecutionPayloadHeader()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### `is_merge_block`
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
def is_merge_block(state: BeaconState, body: BeaconBlockBody) -> bool:
|
|
return not is_merge_complete(state) and body.execution_payload != ExecutionPayload()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### `is_execution_enabled`
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
def is_execution_enabled(state: BeaconState, body: BeaconBlockBody) -> bool:
|
|
return is_merge_block(state, body) or is_merge_complete(state)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Misc
|
|
|
|
#### `compute_timestamp_at_slot`
|
|
|
|
*Note*: This function is unsafe with respect to overflows and underflows.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
def compute_timestamp_at_slot(state: BeaconState, slot: Slot) -> uint64:
|
|
slots_since_genesis = slot - GENESIS_SLOT
|
|
return uint64(state.genesis_time + slots_since_genesis * SECONDS_PER_SLOT)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Beacon chain state transition function
|
|
|
|
### Execution engine
|
|
|
|
The implementation-dependent `ExecutionEngine` protocol encapsulates the execution sub-system logic via:
|
|
|
|
* a state object `self.execution_state` of type `ExecutionState`
|
|
* a state transition function `self.on_payload` which mutates `self.execution_state`
|
|
|
|
#### `on_payload`
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
def on_payload(self: ExecutionEngine, execution_payload: ExecutionPayload) -> bool:
|
|
"""
|
|
Returns ``True`` iff ``execution_payload`` is valid with respect to ``self.execution_state``.
|
|
"""
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The above function is accessed through the `EXECUTION_ENGINE` module which instantiates the `ExecutionEngine` protocol.
|
|
|
|
### 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)
|
|
process_operations(state, block.body)
|
|
process_sync_aggregate(state, block.body.sync_aggregate)
|
|
if is_execution_enabled(state, block.body):
|
|
process_execution_payload(state, block.body.execution_payload, EXECUTION_ENGINE) # [New in Merge]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Execution payload processing
|
|
|
|
#### `is_valid_gas_limit`
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
def is_valid_gas_limit(payload: ExecutionPayload, parent: ExecutionPayloadHeader) -> bool:
|
|
parent_gas_limit = parent.gas_limit
|
|
|
|
# Check if the payload used too much gas
|
|
if payload.gas_used > payload.gas_limit:
|
|
return False
|
|
|
|
# Check if the payload changed the gas limit too much
|
|
if payload.gas_limit >= parent_gas_limit + parent_gas_limit // GAS_LIMIT_DENOMINATOR:
|
|
return False
|
|
if payload.gas_limit <= parent_gas_limit - parent_gas_limit // GAS_LIMIT_DENOMINATOR:
|
|
return False
|
|
|
|
# Check if the gas limit is at least the minimum gas limit
|
|
if payload.gas_limit < MIN_GAS_LIMIT:
|
|
return False
|
|
|
|
return True
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### `process_execution_payload`
|
|
|
|
*Note:* This function depends on `process_randao` function call as it retrieves the most recent randao mix from the `state`. Implementations that are considering parallel processing of execution payload with respect to beacon chain state transition function should work around this dependency.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
def process_execution_payload(state: BeaconState, payload: ExecutionPayload, execution_engine: ExecutionEngine) -> None:
|
|
# Verify consistency of the parent hash, block number, random, base fee per gas and gas limit
|
|
if is_merge_complete(state):
|
|
assert payload.parent_hash == state.latest_execution_payload_header.block_hash
|
|
assert payload.block_number == state.latest_execution_payload_header.block_number + uint64(1)
|
|
assert payload.random == get_randao_mix(state, get_current_epoch(state))
|
|
assert is_valid_gas_limit(payload, state.latest_execution_payload_header)
|
|
# Verify timestamp
|
|
assert payload.timestamp == compute_timestamp_at_slot(state, state.slot)
|
|
# Verify the execution payload is valid
|
|
assert execution_engine.on_payload(payload)
|
|
# Cache execution payload header
|
|
state.latest_execution_payload_header = ExecutionPayloadHeader(
|
|
parent_hash=payload.parent_hash,
|
|
coinbase=payload.coinbase,
|
|
state_root=payload.state_root,
|
|
receipt_root=payload.receipt_root,
|
|
logs_bloom=payload.logs_bloom,
|
|
random=payload.random,
|
|
block_number=payload.block_number,
|
|
gas_limit=payload.gas_limit,
|
|
gas_used=payload.gas_used,
|
|
timestamp=payload.timestamp,
|
|
base_fee_per_gas=payload.base_fee_per_gas,
|
|
block_hash=payload.block_hash,
|
|
transactions_root=hash_tree_root(payload.transactions),
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Testing
|
|
|
|
*Note*: The function `initialize_beacon_state_from_eth1` is modified for pure Merge testing only.
|
|
|
|
*Note*: The function `initialize_beacon_state_from_eth1` is modified: (1) using `MERGE_FORK_VERSION` as the current fork version, (2) utilizing the Merge `BeaconBlockBody` when constructing the initial `latest_block_header`, and (3) initialize `latest_execution_payload_header`.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
def initialize_beacon_state_from_eth1(eth1_block_hash: Bytes32,
|
|

|
if validator.effective_balance == MAX_EFFECTIVE_BALANCE:

|
validator.activation_eligibility_epoch = GENESIS_EPOCH
|
|
validator.activation_epoch = GENESIS_EPOCH
|
|
|
|
# Set genesis validators root for domain separation and chain versioning
|

state.genesis_validators_root = hash_tree_root(state.validators)
|
|
|
