Good day everyone! This is our v1.29.0 Pectra ready release for mandatory upgrading. If you are running on Gnosis or Ethereum mainnet, this version is the minimum required to ensure your node makes it through the hard forks on Gnosis (Apr-30-2025 14:03:40 UTC) and Ethereum (May-7-2025 10:05:11 UTC).
v1.29.0 includes some stack upgrades such as js-libp2p 2.0, IDONTWANT in gossipsub, ssz v1.2 and optimizations for Pectra seen on previous testnets such as improved block attestation packing.
Happy Pectra forking 🍴🦒! See you on the other side.
