This is a feature release for Vouch. Highlights include:
- support Deneb
- fetch blinded and unblinded proposals in parallel to speed up block production
- compose multiclients from clients, reducing connections to beacon nodes
- add option to attempt unblinding of payloads from all contacted relays
- add "majority" attestation data strategy
- start validator registrations randomly in middle 80% of each epoch, to avoid overloading relays
- reduce CPU and memory requirements for refreshing validator information
- implement exclusion list for builders
Plus the usual round of performance, stability and security updates. The full list of changes can be found in CHANGELOG.md.
This release is required to enable Vouch to work with chains that have undergone the Deneb upgrade. Upgrades must take place prior to 13th March 2024 to continue validating.
