## Introduction
This document represents the changes to be made in the code of an "honest validator" to implement Deneb.
## Prerequisites
This document is an extension of the [Capella -- Honest Validator](../capella/validator.md) guide.
All behaviors and definitions defined in this document, and documents it extends, carry over unless explicitly noted or overridden.
All terminology, constants, functions, and protocol mechanics defined in the updated [Beacon Chain doc of Deneb](./beacon-chain.md) are requisite for this document and used throughout.
Please see related Beacon Chain doc before continuing and use them as a reference throughout.
## Helpers
### `BlobsBundle`
```python
@dataclass
class BlobsBundle(object):
commitments: Sequence[KZGCommitment]
proofs: Sequence[KZGProof]
blobs: Sequence[Blob]
```
### Modified `GetPayloadResponse`
```python
@dataclass
class GetPayloadResponse(object):
execution_payload: ExecutionPayload
block_value: uint256
blobs_bundle: BlobsBundle
```
## Protocol
### `ExecutionEngine`
#### Modified `get_payload`
Given the `payload_id`, `get_payload` returns the most recent version of the execution payload that
has been built since the corresponding call to `notify_forkchoice_updated` method.
```python
def get_payload(self: ExecutionEngine, payload_id: PayloadId) -> GetPayloadResponse:
"""
Return ExecutionPayload, uint256, BlobsBundle objects.
"""
# pylint: disable=unused-argument
...
```
## Beacon chain responsibilities
All validator responsibilities remain unchanged other than those noted below.
### Block and sidecar proposal
#### Constructing the `BeaconBlockBody`
##### Blob KZG commitments
1. After retrieving the execution payload from the execution engine as specified in Capella,
use the `payload_id` to retrieve `blobs`, `blob_kzg_commitments`, and `blob_kzg_proofs`
via `get_payload(payload_id).blobs_bundle`.
2. Validate `blobs` and `blob_kzg_commitments`:
```python
def validate_blobs_and_kzg_commitments(execution_payload: ExecutionPayload,
blobs: Sequence[Blob],
blob_kzg_commitments: Sequence[KZGCommitment],
blob_kzg_proofs: Sequence[KZGProof]) -> None:
# Optionally sanity-check that the KZG commitments match the versioned hashes in the transactions
assert verify_kzg_commitments_against_transactions(execution_payload.transactions, blob_kzg_commitments)
# Optionally sanity-check that the KZG commitments match the blobs (as produced by the execution engine)
assert len(blob_kzg_commitments) == len(blobs) == len(blob_kzg_proofs)
assert verify_blob_kzg_proof_batch(blobs, blob_kzg_commitments, blob_kzg_proofs)
```
3. If valid, set `block.body.blob_kzg_commitments = blob_kzg_commitments`.
#### Constructing the `SignedBlobSidecar`s
To construct a `SignedBlobSidecar`, a `signed_blob_sidecar` is defined with the necessary context for block and sidecar proposal.
##### Sidecar
Blobs associated with a block are packaged into sidecar objects for distribution to the network.
Each `sidecar` is obtained from:
```python
def get_blob_sidecars(block: BeaconBlock,
blobs: Sequence[Blob],
blob_kzg_proofs: Sequence[KZGProof]) -> Sequence[BlobSidecar]:
return [
BlobSidecar(
block_root=hash_tree_root(block),
index=index,
slot=block.slot,
block_parent_root=block.parent_root,
blob=blob,
kzg_commitment=block.body.blob_kzg_commitments[index],
kzg_proof=blob_kzg_proofs[index],
)
for index, blob in enumerate(blobs)
]
```
Then for each sidecar, `signed_sidecar = SignedBlobSidecar(message=sidecar, signature=signature)` is constructed and published to the `blob_sidecar_{index}` topics according to its index.
`signature` is obtained from:
```python
def get_blob_sidecar_signature(state: BeaconState,
sidecar: BlobSidecar,
privkey: int) -> BLSSignature:
domain = get_domain(state, DOMAIN_BLOB_SIDECAR, compute_epoch_at_slot(sidecar.slot))
signing_root = compute_signing_root(sidecar, domain)
return bls.Sign(privkey, signing_root)
```
After publishing the peers on the network may request the sidecar through sync-requests, or a local user may be interested.
The validator MUST hold on to sidecars for `MIN_EPOCHS_FOR_BLOB_SIDECARS_REQUESTS` epochs and serve when capable,
to ensure the data-availability of these blobs throughout the network.
After `MIN_EPOCHS_FOR_BLOB_SIDECARS_REQUESTS` nodes MAY prune the sidecars and/or stop serving them.
