berachain/beacon-kit v1.3.1

BeaconKit v1.3.1

on GitHub

Summary

This release introduces support for BRIPs 0003 and 0004.

For the Pectra11 hardfork:

• on the CL, full compatibility for BRIP-0004 in the Electra1 fork version.
• on the EL, full compatibility for BRIP-0001, BRIP-0002, and BRIP-0004 in the Prague1 fork version is expected.

For Stable Block Time:

• Stable Block Time (from cometbft) will activate via a consensus params update at chain height 9983085 and enabled at chain height 9983086.

Node operators should upgrade this to this version and corresponding genesis files on Berachain mainnet. For the ELs, bera-geth v1.011602.1 or bera-reth v1.0.0 should be used.

For Berachain mainnet, the deadline to upgrade to this version and corresponding genesis files is chain height 9983085. This height is expected to hit before September 3rd, 2025 @ 16:00:00 GMT+0000, when the beacon version will fork to Electra1 and the ELs are configured to fork to Prague1.

Verifying signatures

Use gpg to verify the signature on these binary archives. This is important to make sure that the content you've downloaded is legitimate. gpg can be installed with most package managers. For example:

• brew install gpg on mac
• apt install gpg on Ubuntu/Debian

Once gpg is installed, import our public key into its database and verify:

• Download signing public key from here.
• Run gpg --import berachain_release.asc
• Verify with gpg --verify {signature}.sig {binary}.tar.gz
• This message is expected: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
• To resolve the warning, trust the key by signing with your own keypair. gpg --lsign-key <keyid>
