Introduction

Data structures

New Beacon Chain operations

CustodySlashing

class CustodySlashing(Container):
    # Attestation.custody_bits_blocks[data_index][committee.index(malefactor_index)] is the target custody bit to check.
    # (Attestation.data.shard_transition_root as ShardTransition).shard_data_roots[data_index] is the root of the data.
    data_index: uint64
    malefactor_index: ValidatorIndex
    malefactor_secret: BLSSignature
    whistleblower_index: ValidatorIndex
    shard_transition: ShardTransition
    attestation: Attestation
    data: ByteList[MAX_SHARD_BLOCK_SIZE]

SignedCustodySlashing

class SignedCustodySlashing(Container):
    message: CustodySlashing
    signature: BLSSignature

CustodyKeyReveal

class CustodyKeyReveal(Container):
    # Index of the validator whose key is being revealed
    revealer_index: ValidatorIndex
    # Reveal (masked signature)
    reveal: BLSSignature

EarlyDerivedSecretReveal

Represents an early (punishable) reveal of one of the derived secrets, where derived secrets are RANDAO reveals and custody reveals (both are part of the same domain).

class EarlyDerivedSecretReveal(Container):
    # Index of the validator whose key is being revealed
    revealed_index: ValidatorIndex
    # RANDAO epoch of the key that is being revealed
    epoch: Epoch
    # Reveal (masked signature)
    reveal: BLSSignature
    # Index of the validator who revealed (whistleblower)
    masker_index: ValidatorIndex
    # Mask used to hide the actual reveal signature (prevent reveal from being stolen)
    mask: Bytes32

Helpers

legendre_bit

Returns the Legendre symbol (a/q) normalizes as a bit (i.e. ((a/q) + 1) // 2). In a production implementation, a well-optimized library (e.g. GMP) should be used for this.

def legendre_bit(a: int, q: int) -> int:
    if a >= q:
        return legendre_bit(a % q, q)
    if a == 0:
        return 0
    assert(q > a > 0 and q % 2 == 1)
    t = 1
    n = q
    while a != 0:
        while a % 2 == 0:
            a //= 2
            r = n % 8
            if r == 3 or r == 5:
                t = -t
        a, n = n, a
        if a % 4 == n % 4 == 3:
            t = -t
        a %= n
    if n == 1:
        return (t + 1) // 2
    else:
        return 0

custody_atoms

Given one set of data, return the custody atoms: each atom will be combined with one legendre bit.

def get_custody_atoms(bytez: bytes) -> Sequence[bytes]:
    bytez += b'\x00' * (-len(bytez) % BYTES_PER_CUSTODY_ATOM)  # right-padding
    return [bytez[i:i + BYTES_PER_CUSTODY_ATOM]
            for i in range(0, len(bytez), BYTES_PER_CUSTODY_ATOM)]

compute_custody_bit

def compute_custody_bit(key: BLSSignature, data: bytes) -> bit:
    full_G2_element = bls.signature_to_G2(key)
    s = full_G2_element[0].coeffs
    custody_atoms = get_custody_atoms(data)
    n = len(custody_atoms)
    a = sum(s[i % 2]**i * int.from_bytes(atom, "little") for i, atom in enumerate(custody_atoms) + s[n % 2]**n)
    return legendre_bit(a, BLS12_381_Q)

get_randao_epoch_for_custody_period

def get_randao_epoch_for_custody_period(period: uint64, validator_index: ValidatorIndex) -> Epoch:
    next_period_start = (period + 1) * EPOCHS_PER_CUSTODY_PERIOD - validator_index % EPOCHS_PER_CUSTODY_PERIOD
    return Epoch(next_period_start + CUSTODY_PERIOD_TO_RANDAO_PADDING)

get_custody_period_for_validator

def get_custody_period_for_validator(validator_index: ValidatorIndex, epoch: Epoch) -> int:
    '''
    Return the reveal period for a given validator.
    '''
    return (epoch + validator_index % EPOCHS_PER_CUSTODY_PERIOD) // EPOCHS_PER_CUSTODY_PERIOD

Per-epoch processing

Handling of reveal deadlines

Run process_reveal_deadlines(state) after process_registry_updates(state):

def process_reveal_deadlines(state: BeaconState) -> None:
    epoch = get_current_epoch(state)
    for index, validator in enumerate(state.validators):
        if get_custody_period_for_validator(ValidatorIndex(index), epoch) > validator.next_custody_secret_to_reveal:
            slash_validator(state, ValidatorIndex(index))

Final updates

After process_final_updates(state), additional updates are made for the custody game:

def process_custody_final_updates(state: BeaconState) -> None:
    # Clean up exposed RANDAO key reveals
    state.exposed_derived_secrets[get_current_epoch(state) % EARLY_DERIVED_SECRET_PENALTY_MAX_FUTURE_EPOCHS] = []
