## 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`
*[New in Deneb:EIP4844]*
```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 # [New in Deneb:EIP4844]
```
## 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`
##### ExecutionPayload
`prepare_execution_payload` is updated from the Capella specs to provide the parent beacon block root.
*Note*: In this section, `state` is the state of the slot for the block proposal _without_ the block yet applied.
That is, `state` is the `previous_state` processed through any empty slots up to the assigned slot using `process_slots(previous_state, slot)`.
*Note*: The only change made to `prepare_execution_payload` is to add the parent beacon block root as an additional
parameter to the `PayloadAttributes`.
```python
def prepare_execution_payload(state: BeaconState,
safe_block_hash: Hash32,
finalized_block_hash: Hash32,
suggested_fee_recipient: ExecutionAddress,
execution_engine: ExecutionEngine) -> Optional[PayloadId]:
# Verify consistency of the parent hash with respect to the previous execution payload header
parent_hash = state.latest_execution_payload_header.block_hash
# Set the forkchoice head and initiate the payload build process
payload_attributes = PayloadAttributes(
timestamp=compute_timestamp_at_slot(state, state.slot),
prev_randao=get_randao_mix(state, get_current_epoch(state)),
suggested_fee_recipient=suggested_fee_recipient,
withdrawals=get_expected_withdrawals(state),
parent_beacon_block_root=hash_tree_root(state.latest_block_header), # [New in Deneb:EIP4788]
)
return execution_engine.notify_forkchoice_updated(
head_block_hash=parent_hash,
safe_block_hash=safe_block_hash,
finalized_block_hash=finalized_block_hash,
payload_attributes=payload_attributes,
)
```
##### Blob KZG commitments
*[New in Deneb:EIP4844]*
1. The execution payload is obtained from the execution engine as defined above using `payload_id`. The response also includes a `blobs_bundle` entry containing the corresponding `blobs`, `commitments`, and `proofs`.
2. Set `block.body.blob_kzg_commitments = commitments`.
#### Constructing the `SignedBlobSidecar`s
*[New in Deneb:EIP4844]*
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 associated sidecar topic, the `blob_sidecar_{subnet_id}` pubsub topic.
`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)
```
The `subnet_id` for the `signed_sidecar` is calculated with:
- Let `blob_index = signed_sidecar.message.index`.
- Let `subnet_id = compute_subnet_for_blob_sidecar(blob_index)`.
```python
def compute_subnet_for_blob_sidecar(blob_index: BlobIndex) -> SubnetID:
return SubnetID(blob_index % BLOB_SIDECAR_SUBNET_COUNT)
```
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.
