## Shard state transition function
```python
def shard_state_transition(beacon_state: BeaconState,

# Return post-state
return shard_state
```
```python
def process_shard_slots(shard_state: ShardState, slot: ShardSlot) -> None:
assert shard_state.slot <= slot
while shard_state.slot < slot:
process_shard_slot(shard_state)
# Process shard period on the start slot of the next shard period

process_shard_period(shard_state)
shard_state.slot += ShardSlot(1)
```
```python
def process_shard_slot(shard_state: ShardState) -> None:
# Cache state root
previous_state_root = hash_tree_root(shard_state)

```
### Period processing
```python
def process_shard_period(shard_state: ShardState) -> None:
# Rotate committee deltas
shard_state.older_committee_positive_deltas = shard_state.newer_committee_positive_deltas
shard_state.older_committee_negative_deltas = shard_state.newer_committee_negative_deltas

# Verify proposer is not slashed
proposer_index = get_shard_proposer_index(beacon_state, shard_state.shard, block.slot)

domain = get_domain(beacon_state, DOMAIN_SHARD_PROPOSER, compute_epoch_of_shard_slot(block.slot))
assert bls_verify(proposer.pubkey, signing_root(block), block.signature, domain)
```
#### Attestations
```python
def process_shard_attestations(beacon_state: BeaconState, shard_state: ShardState, block: ShardBlock) -> None:
pubkeys = []
attestation_count = 0
shard_committee = get_shard_committee(beacon_state, shard_state.shard, block.slot)
for i, validator_index in enumerate(shard_committee):

reward = attestation_count * get_base_reward(beacon_state, proposer_index) // PROPOSER_REWARD_QUOTIENT
process_delta(beacon_state, shard_state, proposer_index, Gwei(reward))
```
#### Block body
```python
def process_shard_block_body(beacon_state: BeaconState, shard_state: ShardState, block: ShardBlock) -> None:
# Verify block body size is a multiple of the header size
assert len(block.body) % SHARD_HEADER_SIZE == 0
# Apply proposer block body fee
block_body_fee = shard_state.block_body_price * len(block.body) // MAX_SHARD_BLOCK_SIZE
proposer_index = get_shard_proposer_index(beacon_state, shard_state.shard, block.slot)
process_delta(beacon_state, shard_state, proposer_index, Gwei(block_body_fee), positive=False) # Burn
process_delta(beacon_state, shard_state, proposer_index, Gwei(block_body_fee // PROPOSER_REWARD_QUOTIENT)) # Reward
# Calculate new block body price
block_size = SHARD_HEADER_SIZE + len(block.body)
QUOTIENT = MAX_SHARD_BLOCK_SIZE * BLOCK_BODY_PRICE_QUOTIENT

# The maximum block body price caps the amount burnt on fees within a shard period
MAX_BLOCK_BODY_PRICE = MAX_EFFECTIVE_BALANCE // EPOCHS_PER_SHARD_PERIOD // SHARD_SLOTS_PER_EPOCH
shard_state.block_body_price = Gwei(min(MAX_BLOCK_BODY_PRICE, shard_state.block_body_price + price_delta))
else:

shard_state.block_body_price = Gwei(max(MIN_BLOCK_BODY_PRICE, shard_state.block_body_price + price_delta))
```
## Shard fork choice rule
The fork choice rule for any shard is LMD GHOST using the shard attestations of the shard committee and the beacon chain attestations of the crosslink committee currently assigned to that shard, but instead of being rooted in the genesis it is rooted in the block referenced in the most recent accepted crosslink (i.e. `beacon_state.crosslinks[shard].shard_block_root`). Only blocks whose `beacon_block_root` is the block in the main beacon chain at the specified `slot` should be considered. (If the beacon chain skips a slot, then the block at that slot is considered to be the block in the beacon chain at the highest slot lower than that slot.)
