ObolNetwork/charon v0.11.0

v0.11.0 - 2022-10-20

on GitHub

We are excited to release v0.11.0 of Charon, it adds a bunch of new features and client improvements! Most notably, we added support for Sync Committee Messages, one of the last remaining incomplete duty types for a validator client. This solves the infrequent problem of a validator receiving significant penalties when they are assigned to sync committees. This release also contains most of the work for validator aggregation and sync contribution duties, the final two duties a distributed validator must correctly implement. More to come on their full support in coming releases.

Other notable features in this release include:

• The latest cluster definition spec v1.3 which is fully compatible with our DV Launchpad.
• Lots of improvements to metrics and logging, see the new dashboards included in our charon-distributed-validator-node repo.

🚨🚨🚨 Important change for those running the quickstart repo 🚨🚨🚨
The latest version of the charon-distributed-validator-node repo requires the loki docker driver.
Install it with: docker plugin install grafana/loki-docker-driver:latest --alias loki --grant-all-permissions
This enables us to provide logging related metrics in the grafana dashboards
