v1.3.0-rc1 - 2025-02-28

This is a pre-release for Charon's first Electra-ready version. This release-candiadate is urgent for Sepolia operators, and recommended for Holesky operators. Mainnet operators should wait until a full v1.3.0 is published in the coming weeks. Feedback is welcome and appreciated, please use github issues or discord if you have trouble with this release.

As well as supporting the Electra hardfork, some notable user-facing features shipping in this release include:

• Charon's --nickname flag, which allows operators to set human readable nicknames in monitoring. These aim to make identifying operators more convenient.
• Charon's --fallback-beacon-nodes flag, which allows operators to specify backup beacon nodes used when primaries fail, rather than using multiple BNs as primaries at all times.
• Charon's --beacon-node-headers flag, which allows operators to attach HTTP headers to requests to their beacon node(s), enabling header based auth and HTTP Basic auth on beacon nodes.

Compatibility Matrix

This release of Charon is backwards compatible with Charon v1.0, v1.1, v1.2.

The below matrix details a combination of beacon node (consensus layer) + validator clients and their corresponding versions the DV Labs team have tested with this Charon release. More validator and consensus client will be added to this list as they are supported in our automated testing framework.

Legend

• ✅: All duties succeed in testing
• 🟡: All duties succeed in testing, except non-penalised aggregation duties
• 🟠: Duties may fail for this combination
• 🔴: One or more duties fails consistently
