Introduction
This upgrade adds blobs to the beacon chain as part of Deneb. This is an extension of the Capella upgrade.
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_DATA_GAS_PER_BLOCK // DATA_GAS_PER_BLOB
. However the CL limit is independently defined by MAX_BLOBS_PER_BLOCK
.

tx_peek_blob_versioned_hashes
This function retrieves the hashes from the SignedBlobTransaction
as defined in Deneb, using SSZ offsets.
Offsets are little-endian uint32
values, as defined in the SSZ specification.
See the full details of blob_versioned_hashes
offset calculation.

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.
