## Introduction
Altair is the first beacon chain hard fork. Its main features are:
* sync committees to support light clients
* incentive accounting reforms to reduce spec complexity
* penalty parameter updates towards their planned maximally punitive values

```
#### `SyncCommittee`

```
## Helper functions
### `Predicates`
#### `eth2_fast_aggregate_verify`
```python
def eth2_fast_aggregate_verify(pubkeys: Sequence[BLSPubkey], message: Bytes32, signature: BLSSignature) -> bool:
"""
Wrapper to ``bls.FastAggregateVerify`` accepting the ``G2_POINT_AT_INFINITY`` signature when ``pubkeys`` is empty.
"""
if len(pubkeys) == 0 and signature == G2_POINT_AT_INFINITY:
return True
return bls.FastAggregateVerify(pubkeys, message, signature)
```
### Misc
#### `add_flag`
```python
def add_flag(flags: ParticipationFlags, flag_index: int) -> ParticipationFlags:
"""
Return a new ``ParticipationFlags`` adding ``flag_index`` to ``flags``.
"""
flag = ParticipationFlags(2**flag_index)
return flags | flag
```
#### `has_flag`
```python
def has_flag(flags: ParticipationFlags, flag_index: int) -> bool:
"""
Return whether ``flags`` has ``flag_index`` set.
"""
flag = ParticipationFlags(2**flag_index)
return flags & flag == flag
```
### Beacon state accessors
#### `get_next_sync_committee_indices`
```python
def get_next_sync_committee_indices(state: BeaconState) -> Sequence[ValidatorIndex]:
"""
Return the sequence of sync committee indices (which may include duplicate indices)
for the next sync committee, given a ``state`` at a sync committee period boundary.
Note: Committee can contain duplicate indices for small validator sets (< SYNC_COMMITTEE_SIZE + 128)
"""
epoch = Epoch(get_current_epoch(state) + 1)
MAX_RANDOM_BYTE = 2**8 - 1
active_validator_indices = get_active_validator_indices(state, epoch)
active_validator_count = uint64(len(active_validator_indices))
seed = get_seed(state, epoch, DOMAIN_SYNC_COMMITTEE)
i = 0
sync_committee_indices: List[ValidatorIndex] = []
while len(sync_committee_indices) < SYNC_COMMITTEE_SIZE:

#### `get_next_sync_committee`
```python

Return the *next* sync committee for a given ``state``.
``SyncCommittee`` contains an aggregate pubkey that enables
resource-constrained clients to save some computation when verifying
the sync committee's signature.
``SyncCommittee`` can also contain duplicate pubkeys, when ``get_next_sync_committee_indices``
returns duplicate indices. Implementations must take care when handling
optimizations relating to aggregation and verification in the presence of duplicates.
Note: This function should only be called at sync committee period boundaries by ``process_sync_committee_updates``
as ``get_next_sync_committee_indices`` is not stable within a given period.
"""
indices = get_next_sync_committee_indices(state)
pubkeys = [state.validators[index].pubkey for index in indices]

return Gwei(EFFECTIVE_BALANCE_INCREMENT * BASE_REWARD_FACTOR // integer_squareroot(get_total_active_balance(state)))

#### `get_base_reward`
*Note*: The function `get_base_reward` is modified with the removal of `BASE_REWARDS_PER_EPOCH` and the use of increment based accounting.
```python
def get_base_reward(state: BeaconState, index: ValidatorIndex) -> Gwei:
"""
Return the base reward for the validator defined by ``index`` with respect to the current ``state``.
Note: A validator can optimally earn one base reward per epoch over a long time horizon.

and sync committees).
"""
increments = state.validators[index].effective_balance // EFFECTIVE_BALANCE_INCREMENT
return Gwei(increments * get_base_reward_per_increment(state))
```
#### `get_unslashed_participating_indices`
```python

#### `get_attestation_participation_flag_indices`
```python

#### `get_flag_index_deltas`
```python
def get_flag_index_deltas(state: BeaconState, flag_index: int) -> Tuple[Sequence[Gwei], Sequence[Gwei]]:
"""
Return the deltas for a given ``flag_index`` scaled by ``weight`` by scanning through the participation flags.

elif flag_index != TIMELY_HEAD_FLAG_INDEX:
penalties[index] += Gwei(base_reward * weight // WEIGHT_DENOMINATOR)

```
#### Modified `get_inactivity_penalty_deltas`
```python
def get_inactivity_penalty_deltas(state: BeaconState) -> Tuple[Sequence[Gwei], Sequence[Gwei]]:
"""
Return the inactivity penalty deltas by considering timely target participation flags and inactivity scores.

penalty_denominator = INACTIVITY_SCORE_BIAS * INACTIVITY_PENALTY_QUOTIENT_ALTAIR
penalties[index] += Gwei(penalty_numerator // penalty_denominator)
return rewards, penalties
```
### Beacon state mutators
#### Modified `slash_validator`
*Note*: The function `slash_validator` is modified to use `MIN_SLASHING_PENALTY_QUOTIENT_ALTAIR`
and use `PROPOSER_WEIGHT` when calculating the proposer reward.
```python
def slash_validator(state: BeaconState,
slashed_index: ValidatorIndex,
whistleblower_index: ValidatorIndex=None) -> None:
"""
Slash the validator with index ``slashed_index``.
"""
epoch = get_current_epoch(state)
initiate_validator_exit(state, slashed_index)
validator = state.validators[slashed_index]
validator.slashed = True
validator.withdrawable_epoch = max(validator.withdrawable_epoch, Epoch(epoch + EPOCHS_PER_SLASHINGS_VECTOR))
state.slashings[epoch % EPOCHS_PER_SLASHINGS_VECTOR] += validator.effective_balance
decrease_balance(state, slashed_index, validator.effective_balance // MIN_SLASHING_PENALTY_QUOTIENT_ALTAIR)
# Apply proposer and whistleblower rewards
proposer_index = get_beacon_proposer_index(state)
if whistleblower_index is None:
whistleblower_index = proposer_index
whistleblower_reward = Gwei(validator.effective_balance // WHISTLEBLOWER_REWARD_QUOTIENT)
proposer_reward = Gwei(whistleblower_reward * PROPOSER_WEIGHT // WEIGHT_DENOMINATOR)
increase_balance(state, proposer_index, proposer_reward)
increase_balance(state, whistleblower_index, Gwei(whistleblower_reward - proposer_reward))
```
### Block processing
```python
def process_block(state: BeaconState, block: BeaconBlock) -> None:
process_block_header(state, block)
process_randao(state, block.body)
process_eth1_data(state, block.body)
process_operations(state, block.body) # [Modified in Altair]
process_sync_committee(state, block.body.sync_aggregate) # [New in Altair]
```
#### Modified `process_attestation`
*Note*: The function `process_attestation` is modified to do incentive accounting with epoch participation flags.
```python
def process_attestation(state: BeaconState, attestation: Attestation) -> None:
data = attestation.data
assert data.target.epoch in (get_previous_epoch(state), get_current_epoch(state))
assert data.target.epoch == compute_epoch_at_slot(data.slot)

for flag_index, weight in enumerate(PARTICIPATION_FLAG_WEIGHTS):
if flag_index in participation_flag_indices and not has_flag(epoch_participation[index], flag_index):
epoch_participation[index] = add_flag(epoch_participation[index], flag_index)
proposer_reward_numerator += get_base_reward(state, index) * weight
# Reward proposer
proposer_reward_denominator = (WEIGHT_DENOMINATOR - PROPOSER_WEIGHT) * WEIGHT_DENOMINATOR // PROPOSER_WEIGHT
proposer_reward = Gwei(proposer_reward_numerator // proposer_reward_denominator)
increase_balance(state, get_beacon_proposer_index(state), proposer_reward)
```
#### Modified `process_deposit`
*Note*: The function `process_deposit` is modified to initialize `inactivity_scores`, `previous_epoch_participation`, and `current_epoch_participation`.
```python
def process_deposit(state: BeaconState, deposit: Deposit) -> None:
# Verify the Merkle branch
assert is_valid_merkle_branch(
leaf=hash_tree_root(deposit.data),
branch=deposit.proof,
depth=DEPOSIT_CONTRACT_TREE_DEPTH + 1, # Add 1 for the List length mix-in
index=state.eth1_deposit_index,
root=state.eth1_data.deposit_root,
)
# Deposits must be processed in order
state.eth1_deposit_index += 1
pubkey = deposit.data.pubkey
amount = deposit.data.amount
validator_pubkeys = [validator.pubkey for validator in state.validators]
if pubkey not in validator_pubkeys:
# Verify the deposit signature (proof of possession) which is not checked by the deposit contract
deposit_message = DepositMessage(
pubkey=deposit.data.pubkey,
withdrawal_credentials=deposit.data.withdrawal_credentials,
amount=deposit.data.amount,
)
domain = compute_domain(DOMAIN_DEPOSIT) # Fork-agnostic domain since deposits are valid across forks
signing_root = compute_signing_root(deposit_message, domain)
# Initialize validator if the deposit signature is valid
if bls.Verify(pubkey, signing_root, deposit.data.signature):
state.validators.append(get_validator_from_deposit(state, deposit))
state.balances.append(amount)
state.previous_epoch_participation.append(ParticipationFlags(0b0000_0000))
state.current_epoch_participation.append(ParticipationFlags(0b0000_0000))
state.inactivity_scores.append(uint64(0))
else:
# Increase balance by deposit amount
index = ValidatorIndex(validator_pubkeys.index(pubkey))
increase_balance(state, index, amount)
```
#### Sync committee processing
```python
def process_sync_committee(state: BeaconState, aggregate: SyncAggregate) -> None:
# Verify sync committee aggregate signature signing over the previous slot block root
committee_pubkeys = state.current_sync_committee.pubkeys
participant_pubkeys = [pubkey for pubkey, bit in zip(committee_pubkeys, aggregate.sync_committee_bits) if bit]
previous_slot = max(state.slot, Slot(1)) - Slot(1)
domain = get_domain(state, DOMAIN_SYNC_COMMITTEE, compute_epoch_at_slot(previous_slot))
signing_root = compute_signing_root(get_block_root_at_slot(state, previous_slot), domain)
assert eth2_fast_aggregate_verify(participant_pubkeys, signing_root, aggregate.sync_committee_signature)
# Compute participant and proposer rewards
total_active_increments = get_total_active_balance(state) // EFFECTIVE_BALANCE_INCREMENT
total_base_rewards = Gwei(get_base_reward_per_increment(state) * total_active_increments)
max_participant_rewards = Gwei(total_base_rewards * SYNC_REWARD_WEIGHT // WEIGHT_DENOMINATOR // SLOTS_PER_EPOCH)
participant_reward = Gwei(max_participant_rewards // SYNC_COMMITTEE_SIZE)
proposer_reward = Gwei(participant_reward * PROPOSER_WEIGHT // (WEIGHT_DENOMINATOR - PROPOSER_WEIGHT))
# Apply participant and proposer rewards
all_pubkeys = [v.pubkey for v in state.validators]
committee_indices = [ValidatorIndex(all_pubkeys.index(pubkey)) for pubkey in state.current_sync_committee.pubkeys]
participant_indices = [index for index, bit in zip(committee_indices, aggregate.sync_committee_bits) if bit]
for participant_index in participant_indices:
increase_balance(state, participant_index, participant_reward)
increase_balance(state, get_beacon_proposer_index(state), proposer_reward)
```
### Epoch processing
```python
def process_epoch(state: BeaconState) -> None:
process_justification_and_finalization(state) # [Modified in Altair]
process_inactivity_updates(state) # [New in Altair]
process_rewards_and_penalties(state) # [Modified in Altair]
process_registry_updates(state)
process_slashings(state) # [Modified in Altair]
process_eth1_data_reset(state)
process_effective_balance_updates(state)
process_slashings_reset(state)
process_randao_mixes_reset(state)
process_historical_roots_update(state)
process_participation_flag_updates(state) # [New in Altair]
process_sync_committee_updates(state) # [New in Altair]
```
#### Justification and finalization
*Note*: The function `process_justification_and_finalization` is modified to adapt to the new participation records.
```python
def process_justification_and_finalization(state: BeaconState) -> None:
# Initial FFG checkpoint values have a `0x00` stub for `root`.
# Skip FFG updates in the first two epochs to avoid corner cases that might result in modifying this stub.
if get_current_epoch(state) <= GENESIS_EPOCH + 1:
return
previous_indices = get_unslashed_participating_indices(state, TIMELY_TARGET_FLAG_INDEX, get_previous_epoch(state))
current_indices = get_unslashed_participating_indices(state, TIMELY_TARGET_FLAG_INDEX, get_current_epoch(state))
total_active_balance = get_total_active_balance(state)
previous_target_balance = get_total_balance(state, previous_indices)
current_target_balance = get_total_balance(state, current_indices)
weigh_justification_and_finalization(state, total_active_balance, previous_target_balance, current_target_balance)
```
#### Inactivity scores
*Note*: The function `process_inactivity_updates` is new.
```python
def process_inactivity_updates(state: BeaconState) -> None:
# Score updates based on previous epoch participation, skip genesis epoch
if get_current_epoch(state) == GENESIS_EPOCH:
return
for index in get_eligible_validator_indices(state):
# Increase inactivity score of inactive validators
if index in get_unslashed_participating_indices(state, TIMELY_TARGET_FLAG_INDEX, get_previous_epoch(state)):
state.inactivity_scores[index] -= min(1, state.inactivity_scores[index])
else:
state.inactivity_scores[index] += INACTIVITY_SCORE_BIAS
# Decrease the score of all validators for forgiveness when not during a leak
if not is_in_inactivity_leak(state):
state.inactivity_scores[index] -= min(INACTIVITY_SCORE_RECOVERY_RATE, state.inactivity_scores[index])
```
#### Rewards and penalties
*Note*: The function `process_rewards_and_penalties` is modified to support the incentive accounting reforms.
```python
def process_rewards_and_penalties(state: BeaconState) -> None:
# No rewards are applied at the end of `GENESIS_EPOCH` because rewards are for work done in the previous epoch
if get_current_epoch(state) == GENESIS_EPOCH:
return
flag_deltas = [get_flag_index_deltas(state, flag_index) for flag_index in range(len(PARTICIPATION_FLAG_WEIGHTS))]
deltas = flag_deltas + [get_inactivity_penalty_deltas(state)]
for (rewards, penalties) in deltas:
for index in range(len(state.validators)):
increase_balance(state, ValidatorIndex(index), rewards[index])
decrease_balance(state, ValidatorIndex(index), penalties[index])
```
#### Slashings
*Note*: The function `process_slashings` is modified to use `PROPORTIONAL_SLASHING_MULTIPLIER_ALTAIR`.
```python

#### Participation flags updates
*Note*: The function `process_participation_flag_updates` is new.
```python
def process_participation_flag_updates(state: BeaconState) -> None:
state.previous_epoch_participation = state.current_epoch_participation
state.current_epoch_participation = [ParticipationFlags(0b0000_0000) for _ in range(len(state.validators))]
```
#### Sync committee updates
*Note*: The function `process_sync_committee_updates` is new.
```python
def process_sync_committee_updates(state: BeaconState) -> None:
next_epoch = get_current_epoch(state) + Epoch(1)
if next_epoch % EPOCHS_PER_SYNC_COMMITTEE_PERIOD == 0:
state.current_sync_committee = state.next_sync_committee
state.next_sync_committee = get_next_sync_committee(state)
```
## Initialize state for pure Altair testnets and test vectors
This helper function is only for initializing the state for pure Altair testnets and tests.
*Note*: The function `initialize_beacon_state_from_eth1` is modified: (1) using `ALTAIR_FORK_VERSION` as the current fork version, (2) utilizing the Altair `BeaconBlockBody` when constructing the initial `latest_block_header`, and (3) adding initial sync committees.
```python
def initialize_beacon_state_from_eth1(eth1_block_hash: Bytes32,
eth1_timestamp: uint64,
deposits: Sequence[Deposit]) -> BeaconState:
fork = Fork(
previous_version=GENESIS_FORK_VERSION,
current_version=ALTAIR_FORK_VERSION, # [Modified in Altair]
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)
# [New in Altair] 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)
return state
