Ethereum 2.0 Sharding -- Beacon Chain changes

Notice: This document is a work-in-progress for researchers and implementers.

Table of contents

Introduction

This document describes the extensions made to the Phase 0 design of The Beacon Chain to support data sharding, based on the ideas here and more broadly here, using KZG10 commitments to commit to data to remove any need for fraud proofs (and hence, safety-critical synchrony assumptions) in the design.

Custom types

We define the following Python custom types for type hinting and readability:

Name SSZ equivalent Description
Shard uint64 A shard number
BLSCommitment Bytes48 A G1 curve point
BLSPoint uint256 A number x in the range 0 <= x < MODULUS

Constants

The following values are (non-configurable) constants used throughout the specification.

Name Value Notes
PRIMITIVE_ROOT_OF_UNITY 5 Primitive root of unity of the BLS12_381 (inner) modulus
DATA_AVAILABILITY_INVERSE_CODING_RATE 2**1 (= 2) Factor by which samples are extended for data availability encoding
POINTS_PER_SAMPLE uint64(2**3) (= 8) 31 * 8 = 248 bytes
MODULUS 0x73eda753299d7d483339d80809a1d80553bda402fffe5bfeffffffff00000001 (curve order of BLS12_381)

Configuration

Misc

Name Value Notes
MAX_SHARDS uint64(2**10) (= 1,024) Theoretical max shard count (used to determine data structure sizes)

MAX_SHARD_HEADERS_PER_SHARD 4
MAX_SHARD_PROPOSER_SLASHINGS 2**4 (= 16) Maximum amount of shard proposer slashing operations per block

Shard block configs

Name Value Notes
MAX_SAMPLES_PER_BLOCK uint64(2**11) (= 2,048) 248 * 2,048 = 507,904 bytes

Precomputed size verification points

Name Value
G1_SETUP Type List[G1]. The G1-side trusted setup [G, G*s, G*s**2....]; note that the first point is the generator.
G2_SETUP Type List[G2]. The G2-side trusted setup [G, G*s, G*s**2....]
ROOT_OF_UNITY pow(PRIMITIVE_ROOT_OF_UNITY, (MODULUS - 1) // int(MAX_SAMPLES_PER_BLOCK * POINTS_PER_SAMPLE), MODULUS)

Gwei values

Name Value Unit Description
MAX_GASPRICE Gwei(2**33) (= 8,589,934,592) Gwei Max gasprice charged for a TARGET-sized shard block

Updated containers

The following containers have updated definitions to support Sharding.

AttestationData

class AttestationData(Container):
    slot: Slot
    index: CommitteeIndex
    # LMD GHOST vote
    beacon_block_root: Root

    shard_proposer_slashings: List[ShardProposerSlashing, MAX_SHARD_PROPOSER_SLASHINGS]

New containers

The shard data itself is network-layer only, and can be found in the P2P specification. The beacon chain registers just the commitments of the shard data.

    point: BLSCommitment
    # Length of the data in samples
    length: uint64

    # Hash-tree-root as summary of the data field
    data_root: Root
    # Latest block root of the Beacon Chain, before shard_blob.slot
    beacon_block_root: Root

ShardBlobHeader

class ShardBlobHeader(Container):
    # Slot and shard that this header is intended for
    slot: Slot
    shard: Shard

    # Proposer of the shard-blob
    proposer_index: ValidatorIndex

SignedShardBlobHeader

class SignedShardBlobHeader(Container):
    message: ShardBlobHeader
    signature: BLSSignature

PendingShardHeader

class PendingShardHeader(Container):
    # Slot and shard that this header is intended for
    slot: Slot
    shard: Shard
    # KZG10 commitment to the data
    commitment: DataCommitment
    # hash_tree_root of the ShardHeader (stored so that attestations can be checked against it)
    root: Root
    # Who voted for the header
    votes: Bitlist[MAX_VALIDATORS_PER_COMMITTEE]
    # Has this header been confirmed?
    confirmed: boolean

ShardBlobReference

class ShardBlobReference(Container):
    # Slot and shard that this reference is intended for
    slot: Slot
    shard: Shard
    # Hash-tree-root of commitment data
    body_root: Root
    # Proposer of the shard-blob
    proposer_index: ValidatorIndex

SignedShardBlobReference

class SignedShardBlobReference(Container):
    message: ShardBlobReference
    signature: BLSSignature

ShardProposerSlashing

class ShardProposerSlashing(Container):
    signed_reference_1: SignedShardBlobReference
    signed_reference_2: SignedShardBlobReference

The degree proof works as follows. For a block B with length l (so l values in [0...l - 1], seen as a polynomial B(X) which takes these values), the length proof is the commitment to the polynomial B(X) * X**(MAX_DEGREE + 1 - l), where MAX_DEGREE is the maximum power of s available in the setup, which is MAX_DEGREE = len(G2_SETUP) - 1. The goal is to ensure that a proof can only be constructed if deg(B) < l (there are not hidden higher-order terms in the polynomial, which would thwart reconstruction).
