## Introduction
This document is the beacon chain fork choice spec for part of Ethereum 2.0 Phase 1.
### Updated data structures
#### Extended `Store`
```python
@dataclass
class Store(object):
time: uint64
genesis_time: uint64
justified_checkpoint: Checkpoint
finalized_checkpoint: Checkpoint
best_justified_checkpoint: Checkpoint
blocks: Dict[Root, BeaconBlock] = field(default_factory=dict)
block_states: Dict[Root, BeaconState] = field(default_factory=dict)
checkpoint_states: Dict[Checkpoint, BeaconState] = field(default_factory=dict)
latest_messages: Dict[ValidatorIndex, LatestMessage] = field(default_factory=dict)
shard_stores: Dict[Shard, ShardStore] = field(default_factory=dict)
```
### New data structures
#### `ShardLatestMessage`
```python
@dataclass(eq=True, frozen=True)
class ShardLatestMessage(object):
epoch: Epoch
root: Root
```
#### `ShardStore`
```python
@dataclass
class ShardStore:
shard: Shard
signed_blocks: Dict[Root, SignedShardBlock] = field(default_factory=dict)
block_states: Dict[Root, ShardState] = field(default_factory=dict)
latest_messages: Dict[ValidatorIndex, ShardLatestMessage] = field(default_factory=dict)
```
### Updated helpers
#### Updated `get_forkchoice_store`
```python
def get_forkchoice_store(anchor_state: BeaconState, anchor_block: BeaconBlock) -> Store:
assert anchor_block.state_root == hash_tree_root(anchor_state)
anchor_root = hash_tree_root(anchor_block)
anchor_epoch = get_current_epoch(anchor_state)
justified_checkpoint = Checkpoint(epoch=anchor_epoch, root=anchor_root)
finalized_checkpoint = Checkpoint(epoch=anchor_epoch, root=anchor_root)
return Store(
time=anchor_state.genesis_time + SECONDS_PER_SLOT * anchor_state.slot,
genesis_time=anchor_state.genesis_time,
justified_checkpoint=justified_checkpoint,
finalized_checkpoint=finalized_checkpoint,
best_justified_checkpoint=justified_checkpoint,
blocks={anchor_root: copy(anchor_block)},
block_states={anchor_root: anchor_state.copy()},
checkpoint_states={justified_checkpoint: anchor_state.copy()},
shard_stores={
Shard(shard): get_forkchoice_shard_store(anchor_state, Shard(shard))
for shard in range(get_active_shard_count(anchor_state))
}
)
```
#### Updated `update_latest_messages`
```python
def update_latest_messages(store: Store, attesting_indices: Sequence[ValidatorIndex], attestation: Attestation) -> None:
target = attestation.data.target
beacon_block_root = attestation.data.beacon_block_root
# TODO: separate shard chain vote
shard = attestation.data.shard
for i in attesting_indices:
if i not in store.latest_messages or target.epoch > store.latest_messages[i].epoch:
store.latest_messages[i] = LatestMessage(epoch=target.epoch, root=beacon_block_root)
shard_latest_message = ShardLatestMessage(epoch=target.epoch, root=attestation.data.shard_head_root)
store.shard_stores[shard].latest_messages[i] = shard_latest_message
```
