Introduction

This document describes the process of the Capella upgrade.

Modified `compute_fork_version`

def compute_fork_version(epoch: Epoch) -> Version:

    Return the fork version at the given ``epoch``.

Fork to Capella

Fork trigger

The fork is triggered at epoch CAPELLA_FORK_EPOCH.

Note that for the pure Capella networks, we don't apply upgrade_to_capella since it starts with Capella version logic.

Upgrading the state

If state.slot % SLOTS_PER_EPOCH == 0 and compute_epoch_at_slot(state.slot) == CAPELLA_FORK_EPOCH, an irregular state change is made to upgrade to Capella.

The upgrade occurs after the completion of the inner loop of process_slots that sets state.slot equal to CAPELLA_FORK_EPOCH * SLOTS_PER_EPOCH. Care must be taken when transitioning through the fork boundary as implementations will need a modified state transition function that deviates from the Phase 0 document. In particular, the outer state_transition function defined in the Phase 0 document will not expose the precise fork slot to execute the upgrade in the presence of skipped slots at the fork boundary. Instead, the logic must be within process_slots.
