Deneb -- The Beacon Chain

Table of contents

Introduction

Deneb is a consensus-layer upgrade containing a number of features. Including:

  • EIP-4788: Beacon block root in the EVM
  • EIP-4844: Shard Blob Transactions scale data-availability of Ethereum in a simple, forwards-compatible manner
  • EIP-7044: Perpetually Valid Signed Voluntary Exits
  • EIP-7045: Increase Max Attestation Inclusion Slot
  • EIP-7514: Add Max Epoch Churn Limit

Custom types

Name SSZ equivalent Description
VersionedHash Bytes32 [New in Deneb:EIP4844]
BlobIndex uint64 [New in Deneb:EIP4844]

Constants

Blob

Name Value
VERSIONED_HASH_VERSION_KZG Bytes1('0x01')

Preset

Execution

Name Value Description
MAX_BLOB_COMMITMENTS_PER_BLOCK uint64(2**12) (= 4096) [New in Deneb:EIP4844] hardfork independent fixed theoretical limit same as LIMIT_BLOBS_PER_TX (see EIP 4844)

Configuration

Execution

Name Value Description
MAX_BLOBS_PER_BLOCK uint64(6) [New in Deneb:EIP4844] maximum number of blobs in a single block limited by MAX_BLOB_COMMITMENTS_PER_BLOCK

Note: The blob transactions are packed into the execution payload by the EL/builder with their corresponding blobs being independently transmitted and are limited by MAX_BLOB_GAS_PER_BLOCK // GAS_PER_BLOB. However the CL limit is independently defined by MAX_BLOBS_PER_BLOCK.

Validator cycle

Name Value
MAX_PER_EPOCH_ACTIVATION_CHURN_LIMIT uint64(2**3) (= 8)

Modified get_attestation_participation_flag_indices

Note: The function get_attestation_participation_flag_indices is modified to set the TIMELY_TARGET_FLAG for any correct target attestation, regardless of inclusion_delay as a baseline reward for any speed of inclusion of an attestation that contributes to justification of the contained chain for EIP-7045.

Block processing

Modified process_attestation

Note: The function process_attestation is modified to expand valid slots for inclusion to those in both target.epoch epoch and target.epoch + 1 epoch for EIP-7045. Additionally, it utilizes an updated version of get_attestation_participation_flag_indices to ensure rewards are available for the extended attestation inclusion range for EIP-7045.

def process_attestation(state: BeaconState, attestation: Attestation) -> None:

Execution payload

Modified process_execution_payload

Note: The function process_execution_payload is modified to pass versioned_hashes into execution_engine.verify_and_notify_new_payload and to assign the new fields in ExecutionPayloadHeader for EIP-4844. It is also modified to pass in the parent beacon block root to support EIP-4788.

def process_execution_payload(state: BeaconState, body: BeaconBlockBody, execution_engine: ExecutionEngine) -> None:

    versioned_hashes = [kzg_commitment_to_versioned_hash(commitment) for commitment in body.blob_kzg_commitments]
    assert execution_engine.verify_and_notify_new_payload(
        NewPayloadRequest(

Modified process_voluntary_exit

Note: The function process_voluntary_exit is modified to use the a fixed fork version -- CAPELLA_FORK_VERSION -- for EIP-7044.

def process_voluntary_exit(state: BeaconState, signed_voluntary_exit: SignedVoluntaryExit) -> None:
    voluntary_exit = signed_voluntary_exit.message

    assert get_current_epoch(state) >= voluntary_exit.epoch
    # Verify the validator has been active long enough
    assert get_current_epoch(state) >= validator.activation_epoch + SHARD_COMMITTEE_PERIOD
    # Verify signature
    # [Modified in Deneb:EIP7044]
    domain = compute_domain(DOMAIN_VOLUNTARY_EXIT, CAPELLA_FORK_VERSION, state.genesis_validators_root)

    assert bls.Verify(validator.pubkey, signing_root, signed_voluntary_exit.signature)
    # Initiate exit
    initiate_validator_exit(state, voluntary_exit.validator_index)

Epoch processing

Registry updates

Note: The function process_registry_updates is modified to utilize get_validator_activation_churn_limit() to rate limit the activation queue for EIP-7514.

def process_registry_updates(state: BeaconState) -> None:
    # Process activation eligibility and ejections
    for index, validator in enumerate(state.validators):
        if is_eligible_for_activation_queue(validator):
            validator.activation_eligibility_epoch = get_current_epoch(state) + 1

        if (
            is_active_validator(validator, get_current_epoch(state))
            and validator.effective_balance <= EJECTION_BALANCE
        ):
            initiate_validator_exit(state, ValidatorIndex(index))

    # Queue validators eligible for activation and not yet dequeued for activation
    activation_queue = sorted([
        index for index, validator in enumerate(state.validators)
        if is_eligible_for_activation(state, validator)
        # Order by the sequence of activation_eligibility_epoch setting and then index
    ], key=lambda index: (state.validators[index].activation_eligibility_epoch, index))
    # Dequeued validators for activation up to activation churn limit
    # [Modified in Deneb:EIP7514]
    for index in activation_queue[:get_validator_activation_churn_limit(state)]:
        validator = state.validators[index]
        validator.activation_epoch = compute_activation_exit_epoch(get_current_epoch(state))

Testing

Note: The function initialize_beacon_state_from_eth1 is modified for pure Deneb testing only.

The BeaconState initialization is unchanged, except for the use of the updated deneb.BeaconBlockBody type when initializing the first body-root.

def initialize_beacon_state_from_eth1(eth1_block_hash: Hash32,
