## Introduction
This document represents the specification for Phase 0 of Ethereum 2.0 -- The Beacon Chain.
At the core of Ethereum 2.0 is a system chain called the "beacon chain". The beacon chain stores and manages the registry of validators. In the initial deployment phases of Ethereum 2.0, the only mechanism to become a validator is to make a one-way ETH transaction to a deposit contract on Ethereum 1.0. Activation as a validator happens when Ethereum 1.0 deposit receipts are processed by the beacon chain, the activation balance is reached, and a queuing process is completed. Exit is either voluntary or done forcibly as a penalty for misbehavior.
The primary source of load on the beacon chain is "attestations". Attestations are simultaneously availability votes for a shard block (Phase 1) and proof-of-stake votes for a beacon block (Phase 0).
## Notation
Code snippets appearing in `this style` are to be interpreted as Python 3 code.
## Custom types
We define the following Python custom types for type hinting and readability:
| Name | SSZ equivalent | Description |
| - | - | - |
| `Slot` | `uint64` | a slot number |
| `Epoch` | `uint64` | an epoch number |
| `CommitteeIndex` | `uint64` | a committee index at a slot |
| `ValidatorIndex` | `uint64` | a validator registry index |
| `Gwei` | `uint64` | an amount in Gwei |
| `Root` | `Bytes32` | a Merkle root |
| `Version` | `Bytes4` | a fork version number |
| `DomainType` | `Bytes4` | a domain type |
| `ForkDigest` | `Bytes4` | a digest of the current fork data |
| `Domain` | `Bytes32` | a signature domain |
| `BLSPubkey` | `Bytes48` | a BLS12-381 public key |
| `BLSSignature` | `Bytes96` | a BLS12-381 signature |
## Constants
The following values are (non-configurable) constants used throughout the specification.
| Name | Value |
| - | - |
| `GENESIS_SLOT` | `Slot(0)` |
| `GENESIS_EPOCH` | `Epoch(0)` |
| `FAR_FUTURE_EPOCH` | `Epoch(2**64 - 1)` |
| `BASE_REWARDS_PER_EPOCH` | `uint64(4)` |
| `DEPOSIT_CONTRACT_TREE_DEPTH` | `uint64(2**5)` (= 32) |
| `JUSTIFICATION_BITS_LENGTH` | `uint64(4)` |
| `ENDIANNESS` | `'little'` |
## Configuration
*Note*: The default mainnet configuration values are included here for spec-design purposes. The different configurations for mainnet, testnets, and YAML-based testing can be found in the [`configs/constant_presets`](../../configs) directory. These configurations are updated for releases and may be out of sync during `dev` changes.
### Misc
| Name | Value |
| - | - |
| `ETH1_FOLLOW_DISTANCE` | `uint64(2**10)` (= 1,024) |
| `MAX_COMMITTEES_PER_SLOT` | `uint64(2**6)` (= 64) |
| `TARGET_COMMITTEE_SIZE` | `uint64(2**7)` (= 128) |
| `MAX_VALIDATORS_PER_COMMITTEE` | `uint64(2**11)` (= 2,048) |
| `MIN_PER_EPOCH_CHURN_LIMIT` | `uint64(2**2)` (= 4) |
| `CHURN_LIMIT_QUOTIENT` | `uint64(2**16)` (= 65,536) |
| `SHUFFLE_ROUND_COUNT` | `uint64(90)` |
| `MIN_GENESIS_ACTIVE_VALIDATOR_COUNT` | `uint64(2**14)` (= 16,384) |
| `MIN_GENESIS_TIME` | `uint64(1578009600)` (Jan 3, 2020) |
| `HYSTERESIS_QUOTIENT` | `uint64(4)` |
| `HYSTERESIS_DOWNWARD_MULTIPLIER` | `uint64(1)` |
| `HYSTERESIS_UPWARD_MULTIPLIER` | `uint64(5)` |
| `PROPORTIONAL_SLASHING_MULTIPLIER` | `uint64(3)` |
- For the safety of committees, `TARGET_COMMITTEE_SIZE` exceeds [the recommended minimum committee size of 111](http://web.archive.org/web/20190504131341/https://vitalik.ca/files/Ithaca201807_Sharding.pdf); with sufficient active validators (at least `SLOTS_PER_EPOCH * TARGET_COMMITTEE_SIZE`), the shuffling algorithm ensures committee sizes of at least `TARGET_COMMITTEE_SIZE`. (Unbiasable randomness with a Verifiable Delay Function (VDF) will improve committee robustness and lower the safe minimum committee size.)
### Gwei values
| Name | Value |
| - | - |
| `MIN_DEPOSIT_AMOUNT` | `Gwei(2**0 * 10**9)` (= 1,000,000,000) |
| `MAX_EFFECTIVE_BALANCE` | `Gwei(2**5 * 10**9)` (= 32,000,000,000) |
| `EJECTION_BALANCE` | `Gwei(2**4 * 10**9)` (= 16,000,000,000) |
| `EFFECTIVE_BALANCE_INCREMENT` | `Gwei(2**0 * 10**9)` (= 1,000,000,000) |
### Initial values
| Name | Value |
| - | - |
| `GENESIS_FORK_VERSION` | `Version('0x00000000')` |
| `BLS_WITHDRAWAL_PREFIX` | `Bytes1('0x00')` |
### Time parameters
| Name | Value | Unit | Duration |
| - | - | :-: | :-: |
| `GENESIS_DELAY` | `uint64(172800)` | seconds | 2 days |
| `SECONDS_PER_SLOT` | `uint64(12)` | seconds | 12 seconds |
| `SECONDS_PER_ETH1_BLOCK` | `uint64(14)` | seconds | 14 seconds |
| `MIN_ATTESTATION_INCLUSION_DELAY` | `uint64(2**0)` (= 1) | slots | 12 seconds |
| `SLOTS_PER_EPOCH` | `uint64(2**5)` (= 32) | slots | 6.4 minutes |
| `MIN_SEED_LOOKAHEAD` | `uint64(2**0)` (= 1) | epochs | 6.4 minutes |
| `MAX_SEED_LOOKAHEAD` | `uint64(2**2)` (= 4) | epochs | 25.6 minutes |
| `MIN_EPOCHS_TO_INACTIVITY_PENALTY` | `uint64(2**2)` (= 4) | epochs | 25.6 minutes |
| `EPOCHS_PER_ETH1_VOTING_PERIOD` | `uint64(2**5)` (= 32) | epochs | ~3.4 hours |
| `SLOTS_PER_HISTORICAL_ROOT` | `uint64(2**13)` (= 8,192) | slots | ~27 hours |
| `MIN_VALIDATOR_WITHDRAWABILITY_DELAY` | `uint64(2**8)` (= 256) | epochs | ~27 hours |
| `SHARD_COMMITTEE_PERIOD` | `uint64(2**8)` (= 256) | epochs | ~27 hours |
### State list lengths
| Name | Value | Unit | Duration |
| - | - | :-: | :-: |
| `EPOCHS_PER_HISTORICAL_VECTOR` | `uint64(2**16)` (= 65,536) | epochs | ~0.8 years |
| `EPOCHS_PER_SLASHINGS_VECTOR` | `uint64(2**13)` (= 8,192) | epochs | ~36 days |
| `HISTORICAL_ROOTS_LIMIT` | `uint64(2**24)` (= 16,777,216) | historical roots | ~52,262 years |
| `VALIDATOR_REGISTRY_LIMIT` | `uint64(2**40)` (= 1,099,511,627,776) | validators |
### Rewards and penalties
| Name | Value |
| - | - |
| `BASE_REWARD_FACTOR` | `uint64(2**6)` (= 64) |
| `WHISTLEBLOWER_REWARD_QUOTIENT` | `uint64(2**9)` (= 512) |
| `PROPOSER_REWARD_QUOTIENT` | `uint64(2**3)` (= 8) |
| `INACTIVITY_PENALTY_QUOTIENT` | `uint64(2**24)` (= 16,777,216) |
| `MIN_SLASHING_PENALTY_QUOTIENT` | `uint64(2**5)` (= 32) |
- The `INACTIVITY_PENALTY_QUOTIENT` equals `INVERSE_SQRT_E_DROP_TIME**2` where `INVERSE_SQRT_E_DROP_TIME := 2**12` epochs (about 18 days) is the time it takes the inactivity penalty to reduce the balance of non-participating validators to about `1/sqrt(e) ~= 60.6%`. Indeed, the balance retained by offline validators after `n` epochs is about `(1 - 1/INACTIVITY_PENALTY_QUOTIENT)**(n**2/2)`; so after `INVERSE_SQRT_E_DROP_TIME` epochs, it is roughly `(1 - 1/INACTIVITY_PENALTY_QUOTIENT)**(INACTIVITY_PENALTY_QUOTIENT/2) ~= 1/sqrt(e)`.
### Max operations per block
| Name | Value |
| - | - |
| `MAX_PROPOSER_SLASHINGS` | `2**4` (= 16) |
| `MAX_ATTESTER_SLASHINGS` | `2**1` (= 2) |
| `MAX_ATTESTATIONS` | `2**7` (= 128) |
| `MAX_DEPOSITS` | `2**4` (= 16) |
| `MAX_VOLUNTARY_EXITS` | `2**4` (= 16) |
### Domain types
| Name | Value |
| - | - |
| `DOMAIN_BEACON_PROPOSER` | `DomainType('0x00000000')` |
| `DOMAIN_BEACON_ATTESTER` | `DomainType('0x01000000')` |
| `DOMAIN_RANDAO` | `DomainType('0x02000000')` |
| `DOMAIN_DEPOSIT` | `DomainType('0x03000000')` |
| `DOMAIN_VOLUNTARY_EXIT` | `DomainType('0x04000000')` |
| `DOMAIN_SELECTION_PROOF` | `DomainType('0x05000000')` |
| `DOMAIN_AGGREGATE_AND_PROOF` | `DomainType('0x06000000')` |

## Helper functions
*Note*: The definitions below are for specification purposes and are not necessarily optimal implementations.
### Math
#### `integer_squareroot`
```python
def integer_squareroot(n: uint64) -> uint64:
"""
Return the largest integer ``x`` such that ``x**2 <= n``.
"""
x = n
y = (x + 1) // 2
while y < x:
x = y
y = (x + n // x) // 2
return x
```
#### `xor`
```python
def xor(bytes_1: Bytes32, bytes_2: Bytes32) -> Bytes32:
"""
Return the exclusive-or of two 32-byte strings.
"""
return Bytes32(a ^ b for a, b in zip(bytes_1, bytes_2))
```
#### `uint_to_bytes`
`def uint_to_bytes(n: uint) -> bytes` is a function for serializing the `uint` type object to bytes in ``ENDIANNESS``-endian. The expected length of the output is the byte-length of the `uint` type.
#### `bytes_to_uint64`
```python
def bytes_to_uint64(data: bytes) -> uint64:
"""
Return the integer deserialization of ``data`` interpreted as ``ENDIANNESS``-endian.
"""
return uint64(int.from_bytes(data, ENDIANNESS))
```
### Crypto
#### `hash`
`def hash(data: bytes) -> Bytes32` is SHA256.
#### `hash_tree_root`
`def hash_tree_root(object: SSZSerializable) -> Root` is a function for hashing objects into a single root by utilizing a hash tree structure, as defined in the [SSZ spec](../../ssz/simple-serialize.md#merkleization).
#### BLS Signatures
Eth2 makes use of BLS signatures as specified in the [IETF draft BLS specification draft-irtf-cfrg-bls-signature-03](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-irtf-cfrg-bls-signature-03). Specifically, eth2 uses the `BLS_SIG_BLS12381G2_XMD:SHA-256_SSWU_RO_POP_` ciphersuite which implements the following interfaces:
- `def Sign(SK: int, message: Bytes) -> BLSSignature`
- `def Verify(PK: BLSPubkey, message: Bytes, signature: BLSSignature) -> bool`
- `def Aggregate(signatures: Sequence[BLSSignature]) -> BLSSignature`
- `def FastAggregateVerify(PKs: Sequence[BLSPubkey], message: Bytes, signature: BLSSignature) -> bool`
- `def AggregateVerify(PKs: Sequence[BLSPubkey], messages: Sequence[Bytes], signature: BLSSignature) -> bool`
Within these specifications, BLS signatures are treated as a module for notational clarity, thus to verify a signature `bls.Verify(...)` is used.
*Note*: The non-standard configuration of the BLS and hash to curve specs is temporary and will be resolved once IETF releases BLS spec draft 3.
### Predicates
#### `is_active_validator`
```python
def is_active_validator(validator: Validator, epoch: Epoch) -> bool:
"""
Check if ``validator`` is active.
"""
return validator.activation_epoch <= epoch < validator.exit_epoch
```

"""

```
#### `is_valid_indexed_attestation`
```python

## Genesis
Before the Ethereum 2.0 genesis has been triggered, and for every Ethereum 1.0 block, let `candidate_state = initialize_beacon_state_from_eth1(eth1_block_hash, eth1_timestamp, deposits)` where:
- `eth1_block_hash` is the hash of the Ethereum 1.0 block
- `eth1_timestamp` is the Unix timestamp corresponding to `eth1_block_hash`
- `deposits` is the sequence of all deposits, ordered chronologically, up to (and including) the block with hash `eth1_block_hash`
Eth1 blocks must only be considered once they are at least `SECONDS_PER_ETH1_BLOCK * ETH1_FOLLOW_DISTANCE` seconds old (i.e. `eth1_timestamp + SECONDS_PER_ETH1_BLOCK * ETH1_FOLLOW_DISTANCE <= current_unix_time`). Due to this constraint, if `GENESIS_DELAY < SECONDS_PER_ETH1_BLOCK * ETH1_FOLLOW_DISTANCE`, then the `genesis_time` can happen before the time/state is first known. Values should be configured to avoid this case.
```python
def initialize_beacon_state_from_eth1(eth1_block_hash: Bytes32,
eth1_timestamp: uint64,
deposits: Sequence[Deposit]) -> BeaconState:
fork = Fork(
previous_version=GENESIS_FORK_VERSION,
current_version=GENESIS_FORK_VERSION,
epoch=GENESIS_EPOCH,
)
state = BeaconState(
genesis_time=eth1_timestamp + GENESIS_DELAY,
fork=fork,
eth1_data=Eth1Data(block_hash=eth1_block_hash, deposit_count=len(deposits)),
latest_block_header=BeaconBlockHeader(body_root=hash_tree_root(BeaconBlockBody())),
randao_mixes=[eth1_block_hash] * 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)
return state
```
*Note*: The ETH1 block with `eth1_timestamp` meeting the minimum genesis active validator count criteria can also occur before `MIN_GENESIS_TIME`.
### Genesis state
Let `genesis_state = candidate_state` whenever `is_valid_genesis_state(candidate_state) is True` for the first time.
```python
def is_valid_genesis_state(state: BeaconState) -> bool:
if state.genesis_time < MIN_GENESIS_TIME:
return False
if len(get_active_validator_indices(state, GENESIS_EPOCH)) < MIN_GENESIS_ACTIVE_VALIDATOR_COUNT:
return False
return True
```
*Note*: The `is_valid_genesis_state` function (including `MIN_GENESIS_TIME` and `MIN_GENESIS_ACTIVE_VALIDATOR_COUNT`) is a placeholder for testing. It has yet to be finalized by the community, and can be updated as necessary.
### Genesis block
Let `genesis_block = BeaconBlock(state_root=hash_tree_root(genesis_state))`.
## Beacon chain state transition function
The post-state corresponding to a pre-state `state` and a signed block `signed_block` is defined as `state_transition(state, signed_block)`. State transitions that trigger an unhandled exception (e.g. a failed `assert` or an out-of-range list access) are considered invalid. State transitions that cause a `uint64` overflow or underflow are also considered invalid.
```python
def state_transition(state: BeaconState, signed_block: SignedBeaconBlock, validate_result: bool=True) -> BeaconState:
block = signed_block.message
# Process slots (including those with no blocks) since block
process_slots(state, block.slot)
# Verify signature
if validate_result:
assert verify_block_signature(state, signed_block)
# Process block
process_block(state, block)
# Verify state root
if validate_result:

# Return post-state
return state

```python
def verify_block_signature(state: BeaconState, signed_block: SignedBeaconBlock) -> bool:
