Hello Lodestar users! We're happy to announce our v1.23 release from Devcon! This release is Mekong-ready and you'll be able to use the flag --network mekong to connect to the newest Pectra public testnet.

For users that experienced CPU illegal instruction issues, we've now defaulted to a portable version of BLST-TS which should fix compatibility issues.
