## Introduction
This document represents the specification for Phase 0 of Ethereum 2.0 -- The Beacon Chain.
At the core of Ethereum 2.0 is a system chain called the "beacon chain". The beacon chain stores and manages the registry of [validators](#dfn-validator). In the initial deployment phases of Ethereum 2.0, the only mechanism to become a [validator](#dfn-validator) is to make a one-way ETH transaction to a deposit contract on Ethereum 1.0. Activation as a [validator](#dfn-validator) happens when Ethereum 1.0 deposit receipts are processed by the beacon chain, the activation balance is reached, and a queuing process is completed. Exit is either voluntary or done forcibly as a penalty for misbehavior.
The primary source of load on the beacon chain is "attestations". Attestations are simultaneously availability votes for a shard block and proof-of-stake votes for a beacon block. A sufficient number of attestations for the same shard block create a "crosslink", confirming the shard segment up to that shard block into the beacon chain. Crosslinks also serve as infrastructure for asynchronous cross-shard communication.
## Notation
Code snippets appearing in `this style` are to be interpreted as Python code.
## Terminology
* **Validator**<a id="dfn-validator"></a>—a registered participant in the beacon chain. You can become one by sending ether into the Ethereum 1.0 deposit contract.
* **Active validator**<a id="dfn-active-validator"></a>—an active participant in the Ethereum 2.0 consensus invited to, among other things, propose and attest to blocks and vote for crosslinks.
* **Committee**—a (pseudo-) randomly sampled subset of [active validators](#dfn-active-validator). When a committee is referred to collectively, as in "this committee attests to X", this is assumed to mean "some subset of that committee that contains enough [validators](#dfn-validator) that the protocol recognizes it as representing the committee".
* **Proposer**—the [validator](#dfn-validator) that creates a beacon chain block.
* **Attester**—a [validator](#dfn-validator) that is part of a committee that needs to sign off on a beacon chain block while simultaneously creating a link (crosslink) to a recent shard block on a particular shard chain.
* **Beacon chain**—the central PoS chain that is the base of the sharding system.
* **Shard chain**—one of the chains on which user transactions take place and account data is stored.
* **Block root**—a 32-byte Merkle root of a beacon chain block or shard chain block. Previously called "block hash".
* **Crosslink**—a set of signatures from a committee attesting to a block in a shard chain that can be included into the beacon chain. Crosslinks are the main means by which the beacon chain "learns about" the updated state of shard chains.
* **Slot**—a period during which one proposer has the ability to create a beacon chain block and some attesters have the ability to make attestations.
* **Epoch**—an aligned span of slots during which all [validators](#dfn-validator) get exactly one chance to make an attestation.
* **Finalized**, **justified**—see the [Casper FFG paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1710.09437).
* **Withdrawal period**—the number of slots between a [validator](#dfn-validator) exit and the [validator](#dfn-validator) balance being withdrawable.
* **Genesis time**—the Unix time of the genesis beacon chain block at slot 0.
## Constants
*Note*: The default mainnet values for the constants are included here for spec-design purposes.
The different configurations for mainnet, testnets, and YAML-based testing can be found in the `configs/constant_presets/` directory.
These configurations are updated for releases, but may be out of sync during `dev` changes.
### Misc
| Name | Value |
| - | - |
| `SHARD_COUNT` | `2**10` (= 1,024) |
| `TARGET_COMMITTEE_SIZE` | `2**7` (= 128) |
| `MAX_INDICES_PER_ATTESTATION` | `2**12` (= 4,096) |
| `MIN_PER_EPOCH_CHURN_LIMIT` | `2**2` (= 4) |
| `CHURN_LIMIT_QUOTIENT` | `2**16` (= 65,536) |
| `BASE_REWARDS_PER_EPOCH` | `5` |
| `SHUFFLE_ROUND_COUNT` | `90` |
* For the safety of crosslinks `TARGET_COMMITTEE_SIZE` exceeds [the recommended minimum committee size of 111](https://vitalik.ca/files/Ithaca201807_Sharding.pdf); with sufficient active validators (at least `SLOTS_PER_EPOCH * TARGET_COMMITTEE_SIZE`), the shuffling algorithm ensures committee sizes of at least `TARGET_COMMITTEE_SIZE`. (Unbiasable randomness with a Verifiable Delay Function (VDF) will improve committee robustness and lower the safe minimum committee size.)
### Deposit contract
| Name | Value |
| - | - |
| `DEPOSIT_CONTRACT_TREE_DEPTH` | `2**5` (= 32) |
### Gwei values
| Name | Value | Unit |
| - | - | :-: |
| `MIN_DEPOSIT_AMOUNT` | `2**0 * 10**9` (= 1,000,000,000) | Gwei |
| `MAX_EFFECTIVE_BALANCE` | `2**5 * 10**9` (= 32,000,000,000) | Gwei |
| `EJECTION_BALANCE` | `2**4 * 10**9` (= 16,000,000,000) | Gwei |
| `EFFECTIVE_BALANCE_INCREMENT` | `2**0 * 10**9` (= 1,000,000,000) | Gwei |
### Initial values
| Name | Value |
| - | - |
| `GENESIS_SLOT` | `0` |
| `GENESIS_EPOCH` | `0` |
| `FAR_FUTURE_EPOCH` | `2**64 - 1` |
| `ZERO_HASH` | `b'\x00' * 32` |
| `BLS_WITHDRAWAL_PREFIX` | `0` |
### Time parameters
| Name | Value | Unit | Duration |
| - | - | :-: | :-: |
| `MIN_ATTESTATION_INCLUSION_DELAY` | `2**2` (= 4) | slots | 24 seconds |
| `SLOTS_PER_EPOCH` | `2**6` (= 64) | slots | 6.4 minutes |
| `MIN_SEED_LOOKAHEAD` | `2**0` (= 1) | epochs | 6.4 minutes |
| `ACTIVATION_EXIT_DELAY` | `2**2` (= 4) | epochs | 25.6 minutes |
| `SLOTS_PER_ETH1_VOTING_PERIOD` | `2**10` (= 1,024) | slots | ~1.7 hours |
| `SLOTS_PER_HISTORICAL_ROOT` | `2**13` (= 8,192) | slots | ~13 hours |
| `MIN_VALIDATOR_WITHDRAWABILITY_DELAY` | `2**8` (= 256) | epochs | ~27 hours |
| `PERSISTENT_COMMITTEE_PERIOD` | `2**11` (= 2,048) | epochs | 9 days |
| `MAX_EPOCHS_PER_CROSSLINK` | `2**6` (= 64) | epochs | ~7 hours |
| `MIN_EPOCHS_TO_INACTIVITY_PENALTY` | `2**2` (= 4) | epochs | 25.6 minutes |
* `MAX_EPOCHS_PER_CROSSLINK` should be a small constant times `SHARD_COUNT // SLOTS_PER_EPOCH`
### State list lengths
| Name | Value | Unit | Duration |
| - | - | :-: | :-: |
| `LATEST_RANDAO_MIXES_LENGTH` | `2**13` (= 8,192) | epochs | ~36 days |
| `LATEST_ACTIVE_INDEX_ROOTS_LENGTH` | `2**13` (= 8,192) | epochs | ~36 days |
| `LATEST_SLASHED_EXIT_LENGTH` | `2**13` (= 8,192) | epochs | ~36 days |
### Rewards and penalties
| Name | Value |
| - | - |
| `BASE_REWARD_FACTOR` | `2**5` (= 32) |
| `WHISTLEBLOWING_REWARD_QUOTIENT` | `2**9` (= 512) |
| `PROPOSER_REWARD_QUOTIENT` | `2**3` (= 8) |
| `INACTIVITY_PENALTY_QUOTIENT` | `2**25` (= 33,554,432) |
| `MIN_SLASHING_PENALTY_QUOTIENT` | `2**5` (= 32) |
* **The `BASE_REWARD_FACTOR` is NOT final. Once all other protocol details are finalized, it will be adjusted to target a theoretical maximum total issuance of `2**21` ETH per year if `2**27` ETH is validating (and therefore `2**20` per year if `2**25` ETH is validating, etc.)**
* The `INACTIVITY_PENALTY_QUOTIENT` equals `INVERSE_SQRT_E_DROP_TIME**2` where `INVERSE_SQRT_E_DROP_TIME := 2**12 epochs` (~18 days) is the time it takes the inactivity penalty to reduce the balance of non-participating [validators](#dfn-validator) to about `1/sqrt(e) ~= 60.6%`. Indeed, the balance retained by offline [validators](#dfn-validator) after `n` epochs is about `(1 - 1/INACTIVITY_PENALTY_QUOTIENT)**(n**2/2)` so after `INVERSE_SQRT_E_DROP_TIME` epochs it is roughly `(1 - 1/INACTIVITY_PENALTY_QUOTIENT)**(INACTIVITY_PENALTY_QUOTIENT/2) ~= 1/sqrt(e)`.
### Max operations per block
| Name | Value |
| - | - |
| `MAX_PROPOSER_SLASHINGS` | `2**4` (= 16) |
| `MAX_ATTESTER_SLASHINGS` | `2**0` (= 1) |
| `MAX_ATTESTATIONS` | `2**7` (= 128) |
| `MAX_DEPOSITS` | `2**4` (= 16) |
| `MAX_VOLUNTARY_EXITS` | `2**4` (= 16) |
| `MAX_TRANSFERS` | `0` |
### Signature domains

| - | - |
| `DOMAIN_BEACON_PROPOSER` | `0` |
| `DOMAIN_RANDAO` | `1` |
| `DOMAIN_ATTESTATION` | `2` |
| `DOMAIN_DEPOSIT` | `3` |
| `DOMAIN_VOLUNTARY_EXIT` | `4` |
| `DOMAIN_TRANSFER` | `5` |

return Bytes32(a ^ b for a, b in zip(bytes1, bytes2))
```

## Genesis
### Genesis trigger
Before genesis has been triggered and whenever the deposit contract emits a `Deposit` log, call the function `is_genesis_trigger(deposits: List[Deposit], timestamp: uint64) -> bool` where:
* `deposits` is the list of all deposits, ordered chronologically, up to and including the deposit triggering the latest `Deposit` log
* `timestamp` is the Unix timestamp in the Ethereum 1.0 block that emitted the latest `Deposit` log
When `is_genesis_trigger(deposits, timestamp) is True` for the first time let:
* `genesis_deposits = deposits`
* `genesis_time = timestamp - timestamp % SECONDS_PER_DAY + 2 * SECONDS_PER_DAY` where `SECONDS_PER_DAY = 86400`
* `genesis_eth1_data` be the object of type `Eth1Data` where:
* `genesis_eth1_data.block_hash` is the Ethereum 1.0 block hash that emitted the log for the last deposit in `deposits`
* `genesis_eth1_data.deposit_root` is the deposit root for the last deposit in `deposits`
* `genesis_eth1_data.deposit_count = len(genesis_deposits)`
*Note*: The function `is_genesis_trigger` has yet to be agreed by the community, and can be updated as necessary. We define the following testing placeholder:
```python
def is_genesis_trigger(deposits: List[Deposit], timestamp: uint64) -> bool:
# Process deposits
state = BeaconState()
for deposit in deposits:
process_deposit(state, deposit)
# Count active validators at genesis
active_validator_count = 0
for validator in state.validator_registry:
if validator.effective_balance == MAX_EFFECTIVE_BALANCE:
active_validator_count += 1
# Check effective balance to trigger genesis
GENESIS_ACTIVE_VALIDATOR_COUNT = 2**16
return active_validator_count == GENESIS_ACTIVE_VALIDATOR_COUNT
```
### Genesis state
Let `genesis_state = get_genesis_beacon_state(genesis_deposits, genesis_time, genesis_eth1_data)`.
```python
def get_genesis_beacon_state(deposits: List[Deposit], genesis_time: int, genesis_eth1_data: Eth1Data) -> BeaconState:

### Genesis block
Let `genesis_block = BeaconBlock(state_root=hash_tree_root(genesis_state))`.
## Beacon chain state transition function
The post-state corresponding to a pre-state `state` and a block `block` is defined as `state_transition(state, block)`. State transitions that trigger an unhandled excpetion (e.g. a failed `assert` or an out-of-range list access) are considered invalid.
```python
def state_transition(state: BeaconState, block: BeaconBlock, validate_state_root: bool=False) -> BeaconState:
# Process slots (including those with no blocks) since block
process_slots(state, block.slot)
# Process block
process_block(state, block)
# Validate state root (`validate_state_root == True` in production)
if validate_state_root:
assert block.state_root == hash_tree_root(state)
# Return post-state
return state
```
```python
def process_slots(state: BeaconState, slot: Slot) -> None:
assert state.slot <= slot
while state.slot < slot:
process_slot(state)
# Process epoch on the first slot of the next epoch
if (state.slot + 1) % SLOTS_PER_EPOCH == 0:
process_epoch(state)
state.slot += 1
```
```python
def process_slot(state: BeaconState) -> None:
# Cache state root
previous_state_root = hash_tree_root(state)
state.latest_state_roots[state.slot % SLOTS_PER_HISTORICAL_ROOT] = previous_state_root
# Cache latest block header state root
if state.latest_block_header.state_root == ZERO_HASH:
state.latest_block_header.state_root = previous_state_root
# Cache block root
previous_block_root = signing_root(state.latest_block_header)
state.latest_block_roots[state.slot % SLOTS_PER_HISTORICAL_ROOT] = previous_block_root
