LiskHQ/lisk-node v0.4.18 on GitHub

Optional upgrade for Lisk Node operators

Note

This release only changes the reth snapshot bootstrap script and the lz4 runtime dependency in the reth image. There are no OP Stack version bumps. Mainnet operators already on v0.4.17 do not need to upgrade unless they want to bootstrap reth from a lz4-compressed archive.

Highlights

reth/download-apply-snapshot.sh now dispatches the extract step on the snapshot's file extension:
- .tar.gz and .tar continue to use the existing tar -xf path (GNU tar autodetects gzip from magic bytes).
- .tar.lz4 routes through tar -I lz4. lz4 is not covered by tar's magic-byte autodetect, so a bare tar -xf foo.tar.lz4 fails with This does not look like a tar archive — the dispatch fixes that.
- Unrecognized formats exit with a clear error rather than failing inside tar.
reth/Dockerfile installs the lz4 package alongside the existing jq, curl, supervisor so the lz4 binary is available at runtime.

OP Stack Changeset

No changes in this release. op-node, op-reth, and op-geth versions are unchanged from v0.4.17.
