Additions and Improvements
- Updated terminal total difficulty (TTD) configuration for Sepolia testnet
- Further optimization of epoch transitions
- Added additional Sepolia bootnode
- Optimised attestation gossip validation by using the current head state to validate more attestations
- Avoid revalidating signatures for attestations re-added to the memory pool during a re-org
Bug Fixes
- Fixed the beacon-rest-api opening a listen port on too many interfaces
- Fixed issue where blocks received via gossip may not be processed if an ancestor's execution payload returned an error from the execution engine.
- Increased the default queue size limit for validator tasks to better support running very large numbers of validators.
- Fixed issue where execution engine connections using web sockets may fail during the merge transition
