Introduction
Capella is a consensus-layer upgrade containing a number of features related to validator withdrawals. Including:
- Automatic withdrawals of
withdrawable
validators. - Partial withdrawals sweep for validators with 0x01 withdrawal
credentials and balances in excess of
MAX_EFFECTIVE_BALANCE
. - Operation to change from
BLS_WITHDRAWAL_PREFIX
toETH1_ADDRESS_WITHDRAWAL_PREFIX
versioned withdrawal credentials to enable withdrawals for a validator.
Custom types
We define the following Python custom types for type hinting and readability:
Name | SSZ equivalent | Description |
---|---|---|
WithdrawalIndex |
uint64 |
an index of a Withdrawal |
Constants
Domain types
Name | Value |
---|---|
DOMAIN_BLS_TO_EXECUTION_CHANGE |
DomainType('0x0A000000') |
Preset
Max operations per block
Name | Value |
---|---|
MAX_BLS_TO_EXECUTION_CHANGES |
2**4 (= 16) |
Execution
Name | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
MAX_WITHDRAWALS_PER_PAYLOAD |
uint64(2**4) (= 16) |
Maximum amount of withdrawals allowed in each payload |

Testing
Note: The function initialize_beacon_state_from_eth1
is modified for pure Capella testing only.
Modifications include:
- Use
CAPELLA_FORK_VERSION
as the previous and current fork version. - Utilize the Capella
BeaconBlockBody
when constructing the initiallatest_block_header
.
