This document describes how to upgrade existing light client objects based on the Capella specification to EIP4844. This is necessary when processing pre-EIP4844 data with a post-EIP4844 LightClientStore
. Note that the data being exchanged over the network protocols uses the original format.
A EIP4844 LightClientStore
can still process earlier light client data. In order to do so, that pre-EIP4844 data needs to be locally upgraded to EIP4844 before processing.

Existing LightClientStore
objects based on Capella MUST be upgraded to EIP4844 before EIP4844 based light client data can be processed. The LightClientStore
upgrade MAY be performed before EIP4844_FORK_EPOCH
.
