## 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 |
## Constants
### Execution
| Name | Value |
| - | - |
| `MAX_BYTES_PER_OPAQUE_TRANSACTION` | `uint64(2**20)` (= 1,048,576) |
| `MAX_TRANSACTIONS_PER_PAYLOAD` | `uint64(2**14)` (= 16,384) |
| `BYTES_PER_LOGS_BLOOM` | `uint64(2**8)` (= 256) |
## Containers
### Extended containers
#### `BeaconBlockBody`
```python
class BeaconBlockBody(phase0.BeaconBlockBody):
# Execution
execution_payload: ExecutionPayload # [New in Merge]
```
#### `BeaconState`
```python
class BeaconState(phase0.BeaconState):
# Execution
latest_execution_payload_header: ExecutionPayloadHeader # [New in Merge]
```
### New containers
#### `ExecutionPayload`
```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
# 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
# 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)
if is_execution_enabled(state, block.body):
# [New in Merge]
randao_mix = get_randao_mix(state, get_current_epoch(state))
process_execution_payload(state, block.body.execution_payload, randao_mix, EXECUTION_ENGINE)
```
### Execution payload processing
#### `process_execution_payload`
```python
def process_execution_payload(state: BeaconState,
payload: ExecutionPayload,
randao_mix: Bytes32,
execution_engine: ExecutionEngine) -> None:
# Verify consistency of the parent hash, block number and random
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 == randao_mix
# 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
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,
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 to use `MERGE_FORK_VERSION` and initialize `latest_execution_payload_header`.
```python
def initialize_beacon_state_from_eth1(eth1_block_hash: Bytes32,
eth1_timestamp: uint64,
deposits: Sequence[Deposit]) -> BeaconState:
randao_seed = eth1_block_hash
fork = Fork(
previous_version=GENESIS_FORK_VERSION,
current_version=MERGE_FORK_VERSION, # [Modified in Merge]
epoch=GENESIS_EPOCH,
)
state = BeaconState(
genesis_time=eth1_timestamp + GENESIS_DELAY,
fork=fork,
eth1_data=Eth1Data(block_hash=eth1_block_hash, deposit_count=uint64(len(deposits))),
latest_block_header=BeaconBlockHeader(body_root=hash_tree_root(BeaconBlockBody())),
randao_mixes=[randao_seed] * EPOCHS_PER_HISTORICAL_VECTOR, # Seed RANDAO with Eth1 entropy
)
# Process deposits
leaves = list(map(lambda deposit: deposit.data, deposits))
for index, deposit in enumerate(deposits):
deposit_data_list = List[DepositData, 2**DEPOSIT_CONTRACT_TREE_DEPTH](*leaves[:index + 1])
state.eth1_data.deposit_root = hash_tree_root(deposit_data_list)
process_deposit(state, deposit)
# Process activations
for index, validator in enumerate(state.validators):
balance = state.balances[index]
validator.effective_balance = min(balance - balance % EFFECTIVE_BALANCE_INCREMENT, MAX_EFFECTIVE_BALANCE)
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)
# [New in Merge] Initialize the execution payload header (with block number set to 0)
state.latest_execution_payload_header.block_hash = eth1_block_hash
state.latest_execution_payload_header.timestamp = eth1_timestamp
state.latest_execution_payload_header.random = randao_seed
return state
```
