## Introduction
This document describes the process of the first upgrade of Ethereum 2.0: the Altair hard fork, introducing light client support and other improvements.
## Configuration
Warning: this configuration is not definitive.
| Name | Value |
| - | - |
| `ALTAIR_FORK_VERSION` | `Version('0x01000000')` |
| `ALTAIR_FORK_SLOT` | `Slot(0)` **TBD** |
## Fork to Altair
### 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 `ALTAIR_FORK_SLOT`, where `ALTAIR_FORK_SLOT % SLOTS_PER_EPOCH == 0`.
### Upgrading the state
After `process_slots` of Phase 0 finishes, if `state.slot == ALTAIR_FORK_SLOT`, an irregular state change is made to upgrade to Altair.
```python
def upgrade_to_altair(pre: phase0.BeaconState) -> BeaconState:
epoch = get_current_epoch(pre)
post = BeaconState(
# Versioning
genesis_time=pre.genesis_time,
genesis_validators_root=pre.genesis_validators_root,
slot=pre.slot,

)
# Fill in sync committees

post.next_sync_committee = get_sync_committee(post, get_current_epoch(post) + EPOCHS_PER_SYNC_COMMITTEE_PERIOD)
return post
