Ethereum 2.0 Phase 1 -- The Beacon Chain with Shards

Notice: This document is a work-in-progress for researchers and implementers.

Table of contents

Introduction

This document describes the extensions made to the Phase 0 design of The Beacon Chain to facilitate the new shards as part of Phase 1 of Eth2.

Custom types

We define the following Python custom types for type hinting and readability:

Name SSZ equivalent Description
Shard uint64 a shard number
OnlineEpochs uint8 online countdown epochs

Configuration

Configuration is not namespaced. Instead it is strictly an extension; no constants of phase 0 change, but new constants are adopted for changing behaviors.

Misc

Name Value
MAX_SHARDS uint64(2**10) (= 1024)
INITIAL_ACTIVE_SHARDS uint64(2**6) (= 64)
LIGHT_CLIENT_COMMITTEE_SIZE uint64(2**7) (= 128)
GASPRICE_ADJUSTMENT_COEFFICIENT uint64(2**3) (= 8)

Shard block configs

Name Value Unit
MAX_SHARD_BLOCK_SIZE uint64(2**20) (= 1,048,576) bytes

SHARD_BLOCK_OFFSETS List[uint64, 12]([1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233]) -
MAX_SHARD_BLOCKS_PER_ATTESTATION len(SHARD_BLOCK_OFFSETS) -
BYTES_PER_CUSTODY_CHUNK uint64(2**12) (= 4,096) bytes
CUSTODY_RESPONSE_DEPTH ceillog2(MAX_SHARD_BLOCK_SIZE // BYTES_PER_CUSTODY_CHUNK) -

Gwei values

Name Value
MAX_GASPRICE Gwei(2**14) (= 16,384)
MIN_GASPRICE Gwei(2**3) (= 8)

Initial values

Name Value
NO_SIGNATURE BLSSignature(b'\x00' * 96)

Time parameters

Name Value Unit Duration
ONLINE_PERIOD OnlineEpochs(2**3) (= 8) online epochs ~51 mins
LIGHT_CLIENT_COMMITTEE_PERIOD Epoch(2**8) (= 256) epochs ~27 hours
