## Introduction
This is the modification of the fork choice accompanying the Deneb upgrade.
## Containers
## Helpers
### Extended `PayloadAttributes`
`PayloadAttributes` is extended with the parent beacon block root for EIP-4788.
```python
@dataclass
class PayloadAttributes(object):
timestamp: uint64
prev_randao: Bytes32
suggested_fee_recipient: ExecutionAddress
withdrawals: Sequence[Withdrawal]
parent_beacon_block_root: Root # [New in Deneb:EIP4788]
```
### `is_data_available`
*[New in Deneb:EIP4844]*
The implementation of `is_data_available` will become more sophisticated during later scaling upgrades.
Initially, verification requires every verifying actor to retrieve all matching `Blob`s and `KZGProof`s, and validate them with `verify_blob_kzg_proof_batch`.
The block MUST NOT be considered valid until all valid `Blob`s have been downloaded. Blocks that have been previously validated as available SHOULD be considered available even if the associated `Blob`s have subsequently been pruned.
*Note*: Extraneous or invalid Blobs (in addition to KZG expected/referenced valid blobs) received on the p2p network MUST NOT invalidate a block that is otherwise valid and available.
```python
def is_data_available(beacon_block_root: Root, blob_kzg_commitments: Sequence[KZGCommitment]) -> bool:
# `retrieve_blobs_and_proofs` is implementation and context dependent
# It returns all the blobs for the given block root, and raises an exception if not available
# Note: the p2p network does not guarantee sidecar retrieval outside of
# `MIN_EPOCHS_FOR_BLOB_SIDECARS_REQUESTS`
blobs, proofs = retrieve_blobs_and_proofs(beacon_block_root)
return verify_blob_kzg_proof_batch(blobs, blob_kzg_commitments, proofs)
```
## Updated fork-choice handlers
### `on_block`
*Note*: The only modification is the addition of the blob data availability check.
```python
def on_block(store: Store, signed_block: SignedBeaconBlock) -> None:
"""
Run ``on_block`` upon receiving a new block.
"""
block = signed_block.message
# Parent block must be known
assert block.parent_root in store.block_states
# Make a copy of the state to avoid mutability issues
pre_state = copy(store.block_states[block.parent_root])
# Blocks cannot be in the future. If they are, their consideration must be delayed until they are in the past.
assert get_current_slot(store) >= block.slot
# Check that block is later than the finalized epoch slot (optimization to reduce calls to get_ancestor)
finalized_slot = compute_start_slot_at_epoch(store.finalized_checkpoint.epoch)
assert block.slot > finalized_slot
# Check block is a descendant of the finalized block at the checkpoint finalized slot
finalized_checkpoint_block = get_checkpoint_block(
store,
block.parent_root,
store.finalized_checkpoint.epoch,
)
assert store.finalized_checkpoint.root == finalized_checkpoint_block
# [New in Deneb:EIP4844]
# Check if blob data is available
# If not, this block MAY be queued and subsequently considered when blob data becomes available
# *Note*: Extraneous or invalid Blobs (in addition to the expected/referenced valid blobs)
# received on the p2p network MUST NOT invalidate a block that is otherwise valid and available
assert is_data_available(hash_tree_root(block), block.body.blob_kzg_commitments)
# Check the block is valid and compute the post-state
state = pre_state.copy()
block_root = hash_tree_root(block)
state_transition(state, signed_block, True)
# Add new block to the store
store.blocks[block_root] = block
# Add new state for this block to the store
store.block_states[block_root] = state
# Add block timeliness to the store
time_into_slot = (store.time - store.genesis_time) % SECONDS_PER_SLOT
is_before_attesting_interval = time_into_slot < SECONDS_PER_SLOT // INTERVALS_PER_SLOT
is_timely = get_current_slot(store) == block.slot and is_before_attesting_interval
store.block_timeliness[hash_tree_root(block)] = is_timely
# Add proposer score boost if the block is timely and not conflicting with an existing block
is_first_block = store.proposer_boost_root == Root()
if is_timely and is_first_block:
store.proposer_boost_root = hash_tree_root(block)
# Update checkpoints in store if necessary
update_checkpoints(store, state.current_justified_checkpoint, state.finalized_checkpoint)
# Eagerly compute unrealized justification and finality.
compute_pulled_up_tip(store, block_root)
```
