 However, this design opens the precompile to an attack where a skipped slot that has the same value modulo the ring buffer length would return an old root value,
 rather than the most recent one.

+To nullify this attack while retaining a fixed memory footprint, this EIP keeps track of the pair of data `(parent_beacon_block_root, timestamp)` for each index into the
 ring buffer and verifies the timestamp matches the one originally used to write the root data when being read. Given the fixed size of storage slots (only 32 bytes), the requirement
 to store a pair of values necessitates two ring buffers, rather than just one.
