Introduction
This document describes the shard transition function and fraud proofs as part of Phase 1 of Ethereum 2.0.

Shard block verification functions

block: ShardBlock,
slot: Slot,
shard: Shard) -> bool:
assert block.shard_parent_root == shard_state.latest_block_root
assert block.slot == slot

assert 0 < len(block.body) <= MAX_SHARD_BLOCK_SIZE
return True
def verify_shard_block_signature(beacon_state: BeaconState,
signed_block: SignedShardBlock) -> bool:

Shard state transition
def shard_state_transition(beacon_state: BeaconState,
shard_state: ShardState,
block: ShardBlock) -> None:
# Update shard state
prev_gasprice = shard_state.gasprice
if len(block.body) == 0:
latest_block_root = shard_state.latest_block_root
else:
latest_block_root = hash_tree_root(block)
shard_state.transition_digest = compute_shard_transition_digest(
beacon_state,
shard_state,
block.beacon_parent_root,
block.body,
)
shard_state.gasprice = compute_updated_gasprice(prev_gasprice, len(block.body))
shard_state.slot = block.slot
shard_state.latest_block_root = latest_block_root
We have a pure function get_post_shard_state
for describing the fraud proof verification and honest validator behavior.
def get_post_shard_state(beacon_state: BeaconState,
shard_state: ShardState,
block: ShardBlock) -> ShardState:
"""
A pure function that returns a new post ShardState instead of modifying the given `shard_state`.
"""
post_state = shard_state.copy()
shard_state_transition(beacon_state, post_state, block)
return post_state
Fraud proofs
Verifying the proof
TODO. The intent is to have a single universal fraud proof type, which contains the following parts:
- An on-time attestation
attestation
on some shardshard
signing atransition: ShardTransition
- An index
offset_index
of a particular position to focus on - The
transition: ShardTransition
itself - The full body of the shard block
shard_block
- A Merkle proof to the
shard_states
in the parent block the attestation is referencing - The
subkey
to generate the custody bit
Call the following function to verify the proof:
def is_valid_fraud_proof(beacon_state: BeaconState,
attestation: Attestation,
offset_index: uint64,
transition: ShardTransition,
block: ShardBlock,
subkey: BLSPubkey,
beacon_parent_block: BeaconBlock) -> bool:
# 1. Check if `custody_bits[offset_index][j] != generate_custody_bit(subkey, block_contents)` for any `j`.
custody_bits = attestation.custody_bits_blocks
for j in range(custody_bits[offset_index]):
if custody_bits[offset_index][j] != generate_custody_bit(subkey, block):
return True
# 2. Check if the shard state transition result is wrong between
# `transition.shard_states[offset_index - 1]` to `transition.shard_states[offset_index]`.
