Introduction

This document represents the changes to be made in the code of an "honest validator" to implement Electra.

Prerequisites

This document is an extension of the Deneb -- Honest Validator guide. All behaviors and definitions defined in this document, and documents it extends, carry over unless explicitly noted or overridden.

All terminology, constants, functions, and protocol mechanics defined in the updated Beacon Chain doc of Electra are requisite for this document and used throughout. Please see related Beacon Chain doc before continuing and use them as a reference throughout.

Block proposal

Constructing the `BeaconBlockBody`

Attester slashings

Changed the max attestations size to MAX_ATTESTER_SLASHINGS_ELECTRA.

Attestations

The network attestation aggregates contain only the assigned committee attestations. Attestation aggregates received by the block proposer from the committee aggregators with disjoint committee_bits sets and equal AttestationData SHOULD be consolidated into a single Attestation object. The proposer should run the following function to construct an on chain final aggregate form a list of network aggregates with equal AttestationData:

def compute_on_chain_aggregate(network_aggregates: Sequence[Attestation]) -> Attestation:
    aggregates = sorted(network_aggregates, key=lambda a: get_committee_indices(a.committee_bits)[0])

    data = aggregates[0].data
    aggregation_bits = Bitlist[MAX_VALIDATORS_PER_COMMITTEE * MAX_COMMITTEES_PER_SLOT]()
    for a in aggregates:
        for b in a.aggregation_bits:
            aggregation_bits.append(b)

    signature = bls.Aggregate([a.signature for a in aggregates])

    committee_indices = [get_committee_indices(a.committee_bits)[0] for a in aggregates]
    committee_flags = [(index in committee_indices) for index in range(0, MAX_COMMITTEES_PER_SLOT)]
    committee_bits = Bitvector[MAX_COMMITTEES_PER_SLOT](committee_flags)

    return Attestation(aggregation_bits, data, committee_bits, signature)

Deposits

[New in Electra:EIP6110] The expected number of deposits MUST be changed from min(MAX_DEPOSITS, eth1_data.deposit_count - state.eth1_deposit_index) to the result of the following function:

def get_eth1_pending_deposit_count(state: BeaconState) -> uint64:
    eth1_deposit_index_limit = min(state.eth1_data.deposit_count, state.deposit_receipts_start_index)
    if state.eth1_deposit_index < eth1_deposit_index_limit:
        return min(MAX_DEPOSITS, eth1_deposit_index_limit - state.eth1_deposit_index)
    else:
        return uint64(0)

Attesting

Construct attestation

Set attestation_data.index = 0.
Let attestation.aggregation_bits be a Bitlist[MAX_VALIDATORS_PER_COMMITTEE * MAX_COMMITTEES_PER_SLOT] of length len(committee), where the bit of the index of the validator in the committee is set to 0b1.
Let attestation.committee_bits be a Bitvector[MAX_COMMITTEES_PER_SLOT], where the bit at the index associated with the validator's committee is set to 0b1.

Note: Calling get_attesting_indices(state, attestation) should return a list of length equal to 1, containing validator_index.

Attestation aggregation

Construct aggregate

Set attestation_data.index = 0.
Let aggregation_bits be a Bitlist[MAX_VALIDATORS_PER_COMMITTEE * MAX_COMMITTEES_PER_SLOT] of length len(committee), where each bit set from each individual attestation is set to 0b1.
Set attestation.committee_bits = committee_bits, where committee_bits has the same value as in each individual attestation.
