## Introduction
This document describes the process of moving from Phase 0 to Phase 1 of Ethereum 2.0.
## Configuration
Warning: this configuration is not definitive.
| Name | Value |
| - | - |
| `LIGHTCLIENT_PATCH_FORK_VERSION` | `Version('0x01000000')` |
| `LIGHTCLIENT_PATCH_FORK_SLOT` | `Slot(0)` **TBD** |
## Fork to Light-client patch
### Fork trigger
TBD. Social consensus, along with state conditions such as epoch boundary, finality, deposits, active validator count, etc. may be part of the decision process to trigger the fork. For now we assume the condition will be triggered at slot `LIGHTCLIENT_PATCH_FORK_SLOT`, where `LIGHTCLIENT_PATCH_FORK_SLOT % SLOTS_PER_EPOCH == 0`.
### Upgrading the state
After `process_slots` of Phase 0 finishes, if `state.slot == LIGHTCLIENT_PATCH_FORK_SLOT`, an irregular state change is made to upgrade to light-client patch.
```python
def upgrade_to_lightclient_patch(pre: phase0.BeaconState) -> BeaconState:
epoch = get_current_epoch(pre)
post = BeaconState(
genesis_time=pre.genesis_time,
slot=pre.slot,
fork=Fork(
previous_version=pre.fork.current_version,
current_version=LIGHTCLIENT_PATCH_FORK_VERSION,
epoch=epoch,
),

# Attestations
# previous_epoch_attestations is cleared on upgrade.
previous_epoch_attestations=List[PendingAttestation, MAX_ATTESTATIONS * SLOTS_PER_EPOCH](),
# empty in pre state, since the upgrade is performed just after an epoch boundary.
current_epoch_attestations=List[PendingAttestation, MAX_ATTESTATIONS * SLOTS_PER_EPOCH](),
# Finality
justification_bits=pre.justification_bits,
previous_justified_checkpoint=pre.previous_justified_checkpoint,
current_justified_checkpoint=pre.current_justified_checkpoint,
finalized_checkpoint=pre.finalized_checkpoint,
)
# Fill in sync committees
post.current_sync_committee = get_sync_committee(post, get_current_epoch(post))
post.next_sync_committee = get_sync_committee(post, get_current_epoch(post) + EPOCHS_PER_SYNC_COMMITTEE_PERIOD)
return post
