### Topics and messages

Following the same scheme as the [Phase0 gossip topics](../phase0/p2p-interface.md#topics-and-messages), names and payload types are:

| Name | Message Type |
|----------------------------------|---------------------------|
| `shard_block_{subnet_id}` | `SignedShardBlock` |
| `shard_block_header` | `SignedShardBlockHeader` |
| `shard_proposer_slashing` | `ShardProposerSlashing` |
| Name | Message Type |

| `shard_blob_header` | `SignedShardBlobHeader` |
| `shard_blob_tx` | `SignedShardBlobHeader` |
| `shard_proposer_slashing` | `ShardProposerSlashing` |

The [DAS network specification](./das-p2p.md) defines additional topics.

#### Shard block subnets
#### Shard blob subnets

Shard block subnets are used by builders to make their blobs available after selection by shard proposers.

#### Global topics

There are two additional global topics for Sharding.

One is used to propagate shard block headers (`shard_block_header`) to all nodes on the network.
Another one is used to propagate shard proposer slashings (`shard_proposer_slashing`).
There are three additional global topics for Sharding.

##### `shard_block_header`
- `shard_blob_header`: co-signed headers, to be included on-chain, and signaling builders to publish full data.
- `shard_blob_tx`: builder-signed headers, also known as "data transaction".
- `shard_proposer_slashing`: slashings of duplicate shard proposals

Shard header data, in the form of a `SignedShardBlockHeader` is published to the global `shard_block_header` subnet.
Shard block headers select shard blob bids by builders, and should be timely to ensure builders can publish the full shard block timely.
##### `shard_blob_header`

The following validations MUST pass before forwarding the `signed_block_header` (with inner `message` as `header`) on the network.
Shard header data, in the form of a `SignedShardBlobHeader` is published to the global `shard_blob_header` subnet.
Shard blob headers select shard blob bids by builders,
and should be timely to ensure builders can publish the full shard blob before subsequent attestations.

We define some aliases to the nested contents of `signed_block_header`:
```python
block_header: ShardBlockHeader = signed_block_header.message
signed_blob_header: SignedShardBlobHeader = header.signed_blob_header
blob_header: ShardBlobHeader = signed_blob_header.message
```
The following validations MUST pass before forwarding the `signed_blob_header` on the network. Alias `header = signed_blob_header.message`

- _[IGNORE]_ The header is not from a future slot (with a `MAXIMUM_GOSSIP_CLOCK_DISPARITY` allowance) --
i.e. validate that `blob_header.slot <= current_slot`
- _[IGNORE]_ The `header` is not from a future slot (with a `MAXIMUM_GOSSIP_CLOCK_DISPARITY` allowance) --
i.e. validate that `header.slot <= current_slot`
(a client MAY queue future headers for processing at the appropriate slot).
- _[IGNORE]_ The header is new enough to be still be processed --
i.e. validate that `compute_epoch_at_slot(blob_header.slot) >= get_previous_epoch(state)`
- _[IGNORE]_ The header is the first header with valid signature received for the `(block_header.proposer_index, blob_header.slot, blob_header.shard)` combination.
- _[REJECT]_ The `shard` MUST have a committee at the `slot` --
i.e. validate that `compute_committee_index_from_shard(state, blob_header.slot, blob_header.shard)` doesn't raise an error
- _[REJECT]_ The proposer signature, `signed_shard_block_header.signature`, is valid with respect to the `block_header.proposer_index` pubkey.
- _[REJECT]_ The header is proposed by the expected `proposer_index` for the block's slot
- _[IGNORE]_ The header is new enough to still be processed --
i.e. validate that `compute_epoch_at_slot(header.slot) >= get_previous_epoch(state)`
- _[REJECT]_ The shard header is for an active shard --

- _[REJECT]_ The `header.shard` MUST have a committee at the `header.slot` --
i.e. validate that `compute_committee_index_from_shard(state, header.slot, header.shard)` doesn't raise an error
- _[IGNORE]_ The header is the first header with valid signature received for the `(header.proposer_index, header.slot, header.shard)` combination.

##### `shard_blob_tx`

Shard data-transactions, in the form of a `SignedShardBlobHeader` is published to the global `shard_blob_tx` subnet.
These shard blob headers are signed solely by the blob-builder.

The following validations MUST pass before forwarding the `signed_blob_header` on the network. Alias `header = signed_blob_header.message`

- _[IGNORE]_ The `header` is not from a future slot (with a `MAXIMUM_GOSSIP_CLOCK_DISPARITY` allowance) --
i.e. validate that `header.slot <= current_slot`
(a client MAY queue future headers for processing at the appropriate slot).

i.e. `header.shard < get_active_shard_count(state, compute_epoch_at_slot(header.slot))`
- _[REJECT]_ The `header.shard` MUST have a committee at the `header.slot` --
i.e. validate that `compute_committee_index_from_shard(state, header.slot, header.shard)` doesn't raise an error
- _[IGNORE]_ The header is the first header with valid signature received for the `(header.builder_index, header.slot, header.shard)` combination.
- _[REJECT]_ The blob builder exists and has sufficient balance to back the fee payment.
- _[IGNORE]_ The header fee SHOULD be higher than previously seen headers for `(header.slot, header.shard)`, from any builder.
Propagating nodes MAY increase fee increments in case of spam.
- _[REJECT]_ The header signature is valid for ONLY the builder, `signed_blob_header.signature`,
i.e. `bls.Verify(builder_pubkey, blob_signing_root, signed_blob_header.signature)`. The signature is not an aggregate with the proposer.
- _[REJECT]_ The header is designated for proposal by the expected `proposer_index` for the blob's `header.slot` and `header.shard`
in the context of the current shuffling (defined by `header.body_summary.beacon_block_root`/`slot`).
If the `proposer_index` cannot immediately be verified against the expected shuffling,
the blob MAY be queued for later processing while proposers for the blob's branch are calculated --
in such a case _do not_ `REJECT`, instead `IGNORE` this message.

##### `shard_proposer_slashing`

Shard proposer slashings, in the form of `ShardProposerSlashing`, are published to the global `shard_proposer_slashing` topic.

The following validations MUST pass before forwarding the `shard_proposer_slashing` on to the network.
- _[IGNORE]_ The shard proposer slashing is the first valid shard proposer slashing received
for the proposer with index `proposer_slashing.signed_reference_1.message.proposer_index`.
The `slot` and `shard` are ignored, there are no per-shard slashings.
for the proposer with index `proposer_slashing.proposer_index`.
The `proposer_slashing.slot` and `proposer_slashing.shard` are ignored, there are no repeated or per-shard slashings.
- _[REJECT]_ All of the conditions within `process_shard_proposer_slashing` pass validation.
