Release v1.15.1

We just released v1.15.1 which includes a few hotfixes for users using Besu as their execution client, using --blindedLocal and users with .lock file issues. For those users, we highly recommend updating to v1.15.1 to address these reported issues.

  • For users running Besu, if you've received fork-choice invalidations if latestValidHash is not found, this fix more robustly handles an execution layer's return of null.
  • Included a UX improvement for users who have interruptions with their validator client (e.g. power loss) where it may not properly cleanup .lock files and requires manual intervention to remove stale files. This fix marks .lock files as stale if the process is not running for more than 10 seconds.
  • Included a fix for users using the --blindedLocal feature on their setups. This fix parses the CLI flag as boolean.

Release v1.15.0

This update is recommended to all users of Lodestar and mandatory for those running Sepolia and Holesky testnets. This release is also ready for the Gnosis Chain Chiado fork.

This release includes some additional fixes for the Deneb hard fork, an upgrade to js-libp2p and minor fixes for UX and performance improvements.

  • js-libp2p is now updated to v1.x.
  • For DVT, multiple, and fallback node users, we've fixed some logging in relation to already known errors seen in our API.
  • By default, we've raised our nodeJS max-old-space-size option from 4096 (4GB) to 8192 (8GB) in our scripts by default so users can benefit from testnets like Holesky with larger states and to better handle periods of network turbulance like non-finality before heap memory is exceeded. This does not increase memory usage. It was done proactively to improve UX as we continue to optimize our memory footprint.
  • Improvements were made to UX for exiting batches of validators.
  • For users using builder boost factor, our error logging now indicates that this cannot be a number with decimals.

Release v1.14.0

Hey everyone! We've released v1.14.0 of Lodestar which is recommended for all users on all networks. This is the same version as v1.14.0-rc.2 which was the mandatory release for Goerli users for Deneb hard fork readiness.

  • This release includes the scheduled Goerli test network fork for Deneb at epoch 231680.

  • If using Lodestar for the Ephemery testnet, this version is compatible with the Deneb fork scheduled for iteration 111 on January 18, 2024.

  • --blindedLocal is a new feature which allows local block publishing to be signed by the validator similarly to builder relays via blinded headers instead of having the full payload. For operators with their Lodestar beacon node and validator clients in separate hosts/networks, this feature will reduce block production latencies. This is only supported if it's a Lodestar beacon node using produceBlockV3.

  • Breaking change for Deneb fork: The Deneb fork epoch will trigger the migration to use produceBlockV3 on Lodestar. If you do not want this, you MUST disable it with --produceBlockV3 false. Alternatively, if you want to turn it on for testing pre-Deneb, you can enable it with --produceBlockV3 true. The automatic switch to produceBlockV3 will only affect the Goerli network (the only scheduled network to fork on this release).

  • Other block production optimizations to reduce block production latencies and likelihood of orphaning blocks due to reorgs.

  • Lodestar now supports shouldOverrideBuilder functionality where execution clients can identify censorship and force local block production irrespective of the builderBoostFactor. See ethereum/execution-apis#425 for the specification and this note on the heuristics of how the execution client determines builder censorship: https://hackmd.io/@potuz/BkpzmOgK6.

  • produceBlockV3 API now supports builder_boost_factor. Our documentation here (https://chainsafe.github.io/lodestar/validator-management/vc-configuration/#configure-your-builder-selection-andor-builder-boost-factor) includes details on how to use this with our already implemented --builder.selection feature.
