#### `BeaconBlockBody`
Note: `BeaconBlock` and `SignedBeaconBlock` types are updated indirectly.
```python
class BeaconBlockBody(Container):
randao_reveal: BLSSignature
eth1_data: Eth1Data # Eth1 data vote

# Execution
execution_payload: ExecutionPayload
blob_kzg_commitments: List[KZGCommitment, MAX_BLOBS_PER_BLOCK] # [New in EIP-4844]
```
#### `ExecutionPayload`
```python
class ExecutionPayload(Container):
# Execution block header fields
parent_hash: Hash32
fee_recipient: ExecutionAddress # 'beneficiary' in the yellow paper
state_root: Bytes32
receipts_root: Bytes32
logs_bloom: ByteVector[BYTES_PER_LOGS_BLOOM]

```
#### `ExecutionPayloadHeader`
```python
class ExecutionPayloadHeader(Container):
# Execution block header fields
parent_hash: Hash32
fee_recipient: ExecutionAddress
state_root: Bytes32
receipts_root: Bytes32
logs_bloom: ByteVector[BYTES_PER_LOGS_BLOOM]
prev_randao: Bytes32
block_number: uint64
gas_limit: uint64
gas_used: uint64

base_fee_per_gas: uint256
excess_blobs: uint64 # [New in EIP-4844]
# Extra payload fields
block_hash: Hash32 # Hash of execution block
transactions_root: Root
```
## Helper functions
### Misc
#### `validate_blobs_sidecar`
```python
def validate_blobs_sidecar(slot: Slot,
beacon_block_root: Root,
expected_kzg_commitments: Sequence[KZGCommitment],
blobs_sidecar: BlobsSidecar) -> None:
assert slot == blobs_sidecar.beacon_block_slot
assert beacon_block_root == blobs_sidecar.beacon_block_root
blobs = blobs_sidecar.blobs
kzg_aggregated_proof = blobs_sidecar.kzg_aggregated_proof
assert len(expected_kzg_commitments) == len(blobs)
assert verify_aggregate_kzg_proof(blobs, expected_kzg_commitments, kzg_aggregated_proof)
```
#### `is_data_available`
The implementation of `is_data_available` is meant to change with later sharding upgrades.
Initially, it requires every verifying actor to retrieve the matching `BlobsSidecar`,
and validate the sidecar with `validate_blobs_sidecar`.
Without the sidecar the block may be processed further optimistically,
but MUST NOT be considered valid until a valid `BlobsSidecar` has been downloaded.
```python
def is_data_available(slot: Slot, beacon_block_root: Root, blob_kzg_commitments: Sequence[KZGCommitment]) -> bool:
# `retrieve_blobs_sidecar` is implementation dependent, raises an exception if not available.
sidecar = retrieve_blobs_sidecar(slot, beacon_block_root)
if sidecar == "TEST":
return True # For testing; remove once we have a way to inject `BlobsSidecar` into tests
validate_blobs_sidecar(slot, beacon_block_root, blob_kzg_commitments, sidecar)
return True
```
#### `kzg_commitment_to_versioned_hash`
```python
def kzg_commitment_to_versioned_hash(kzg_commitment: KZGCommitment) -> VersionedHash:
return VERSIONED_HASH_VERSION_KZG + hash(kzg_commitment)[1:]
```
#### `tx_peek_blob_versioned_hashes`
This function retrieves the hashes from the `SignedBlobTransaction` as defined in EIP-4844, using SSZ offsets.
Offsets are little-endian `uint32` values, as defined in the [SSZ specification](../../ssz/simple-serialize.md).
See [the full details of `blob_versioned_hashes` offset calculation](https://gist.github.com/protolambda/23bd106b66f6d4bb854ce46044aa3ca3).
```python
def tx_peek_blob_versioned_hashes(opaque_tx: Transaction) -> Sequence[VersionedHash]:
assert opaque_tx[0] == BLOB_TX_TYPE
message_offset = 1 + uint32.decode_bytes(opaque_tx[1:5])
# field offset: 32 + 8 + 32 + 32 + 8 + 4 + 32 + 4 + 4 = 156
blob_versioned_hashes_offset = (
message_offset
+ uint32.decode_bytes(opaque_tx[(message_offset + 156):(message_offset + 160)])
)
return [
VersionedHash(opaque_tx[x:(x + 32)])
for x in range(blob_versioned_hashes_offset, len(opaque_tx), 32)
]
```
#### `verify_kzg_commitments_against_transactions`
```python
def verify_kzg_commitments_against_transactions(transactions: Sequence[Transaction],
kzg_commitments: Sequence[KZGCommitment]) -> bool:
all_versioned_hashes = []
for tx in transactions:
if tx[0] == BLOB_TX_TYPE:
all_versioned_hashes += tx_peek_blob_versioned_hashes(tx)
return all_versioned_hashes == [kzg_commitment_to_versioned_hash(commitment) for commitment in kzg_commitments]
```
## Beacon chain state transition function
### Block processing
```python
def process_block(state: BeaconState, block: BeaconBlock) -> None:
process_block_header(state, block)
if is_execution_enabled(state, block.body):
process_execution_payload(state, block.body.execution_payload, EXECUTION_ENGINE)
process_randao(state, block.body)
process_eth1_data(state, block.body)
process_operations(state, block.body)
process_sync_aggregate(state, block.body.sync_aggregate)
process_blob_kzg_commitments(state, block.body) # [New in EIP-4844]
# New in EIP-4844, note: Can sync optimistically without this condition, see note on `is_data_available`
assert is_data_available(block.slot, hash_tree_root(block), block.body.blob_kzg_commitments)
```
#### Execution payload
##### `process_execution_payload`
```python
def process_execution_payload(state: BeaconState, payload: ExecutionPayload, execution_engine: ExecutionEngine) -> None:
# Verify consistency of the parent hash with respect to the previous execution payload header
if is_merge_transition_complete(state):
assert payload.parent_hash == state.latest_execution_payload_header.block_hash
# Verify prev_randao
assert payload.prev_randao == get_randao_mix(state, get_current_epoch(state))
# Verify timestamp
assert payload.timestamp == compute_timestamp_at_slot(state, state.slot)
# Verify the execution payload is valid
assert execution_engine.notify_new_payload(payload)
# Cache execution payload header
state.latest_execution_payload_header = ExecutionPayloadHeader(
parent_hash=payload.parent_hash,
fee_recipient=payload.fee_recipient,
state_root=payload.state_root,
receipts_root=payload.receipts_root,
logs_bloom=payload.logs_bloom,
prev_randao=payload.prev_randao,
block_number=payload.block_number,
gas_limit=payload.gas_limit,
gas_used=payload.gas_used,
timestamp=payload.timestamp,
extra_data=payload.extra_data,
base_fee_per_gas=payload.base_fee_per_gas,
excess_blobs=payload.excess_blobs, # [New in EIP-4844]
block_hash=payload.block_hash,
transactions_root=hash_tree_root(payload.transactions),
)
```
#### Blob KZG commitments
```python
def process_blob_kzg_commitments(state: BeaconState, body: BeaconBlockBody):
assert verify_kzg_commitments_against_transactions(body.execution_payload.transactions, body.blob_kzg_commitments)
```
## Testing
*Note*: The function `initialize_beacon_state_from_eth1` is modified for pure EIP-4844 testing only.
The `BeaconState` initialization is unchanged, except for the use of the updated `eip4844.BeaconBlockBody` type
when initializing the first body-root.
```python
def initialize_beacon_state_from_eth1(eth1_block_hash: Hash32,
eth1_timestamp: uint64,
deposits: Sequence[Deposit],
execution_payload_header: ExecutionPayloadHeader=ExecutionPayloadHeader()
) -> BeaconState:
fork = Fork(
previous_version=EIP4844_FORK_VERSION, # [Modified in EIP-4844] for testing only
current_version=EIP4844_FORK_VERSION, # [Modified in EIP-4844]
epoch=GENESIS_EPOCH,
)
state = BeaconState(
genesis_time=eth1_timestamp + GENESIS_DELAY,
fork=fork,
eth1_data=Eth1Data(block_hash=eth1_block_hash, deposit_count=uint64(len(deposits))),
latest_block_header=BeaconBlockHeader(body_root=hash_tree_root(BeaconBlockBody())),
randao_mixes=[eth1_block_hash] * EPOCHS_PER_HISTORICAL_VECTOR, # Seed RANDAO with Eth1 entropy
)
# Process deposits
leaves = list(map(lambda deposit: deposit.data, deposits))
for index, deposit in enumerate(deposits):
deposit_data_list = List[DepositData, 2**DEPOSIT_CONTRACT_TREE_DEPTH](*leaves[:index + 1])
state.eth1_data.deposit_root = hash_tree_root(deposit_data_list)
process_deposit(state, deposit)
# Process activations
for index, validator in enumerate(state.validators):
balance = state.balances[index]
validator.effective_balance = min(balance - balance % EFFECTIVE_BALANCE_INCREMENT, MAX_EFFECTIVE_BALANCE)
if validator.effective_balance == MAX_EFFECTIVE_BALANCE:
validator.activation_eligibility_epoch = GENESIS_EPOCH
validator.activation_epoch = GENESIS_EPOCH
# Set genesis validators root for domain separation and chain versioning
state.genesis_validators_root = hash_tree_root(state.validators)
# Fill in sync committees
# Note: A duplicate committee is assigned for the current and next committee at genesis
state.current_sync_committee = get_next_sync_committee(state)
state.next_sync_committee = get_next_sync_committee(state)
# Initialize the execution payload header
# If empty, will initialize a chain that has not yet gone through the Merge transition
state.latest_execution_payload_header = execution_payload_header
return state
```
