Changelog

This is a required update for Mainnet users containing the configuration for the Deneb upgrade on March 13th. This update is required for Gnosis Deneb network upgrade on March 11th. For all other networks, this update is optional.

Attention: Teku will require around 50 GB of extra storage for blobs for Mainnet (35 GB for Gnosis), but theoretically blob storage requirements can go up to ~100 GB (200 GB for Gnosis). This extra storage space WILL NOT grow above this limit over time.

For more information about blobs, please have a look at the following page: https://docs.teku.consensys.io/concepts/proto-danksharding

Breaking Changes

• The CLI options --beacon-events-block-notify-when-validated-enabled and
  --beacon-events-block-notify-when-imported-enabled have been removed. This change was made due
  to redundancy, as the functionality of these options is now covered by the new block_gossip and
  the existing block SSE events.
