Ethereum 2.0 Phase 1 -- The Beacon Chain for Shards

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

Table of contents

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 Unit Duration
MAX_SHARDS 2**10 (= 1024)
ONLINE_PERIOD OnlineEpochs(2**3) (= 8) online epochs ~51 min
LIGHT_CLIENT_COMMITTEE_SIZE 2**7 (= 128)
LIGHT_CLIENT_COMMITTEE_PERIOD Epoch(2**8) (= 256) epochs ~27 hours
SHARD_COMMITTEE_PERIOD Epoch(2**8) (= 256) epochs ~27 hours
MAX_SHARD_BLOCK_SIZE 2**20 (= 1,048,576)
TARGET_SHARD_BLOCK_SIZE 2**18 (= 262,144)

MAX_SHARD_BLOCKS_PER_ATTESTATION len(SHARD_BLOCK_OFFSETS)
MAX_GASPRICE Gwei(2**14) (= 16,384) Gwei
MIN_GASPRICE Gwei(2**3) (= 8) Gwei
