Summary

This release includes a critical fix for blob sidecar ordering during payload caching, new CometBFT API endpoints, improved RPC error handling, and several CI/infrastructure improvements.

Bug Fixes

• fix(payload): correctly order sidecars when caching valid payload envelope (#3050) -> Fixes an issue where blob sidecars could be incorrectly ordered when a valid payload envelope was cached during ProcessProposal, which could lead to blob verification failures on re-proposal.
• fix(rpc): error handling (#3029) -> Improves error handling in the execution client RPC layer.
• fix(cli): prevent ~/.beacond creation when --home is specified (#3016) -> The default ~/.beacond directory was being created even when a custom --home path was provided.

Features

• feat(node-api): add CometBFT block and header accessors (#3020) -> Adds new REST API endpoints for querying CometBFT blocks and signed headers, with full test coverage and e2e tests.

Infrastructure & Maintenance

• chore(geth): introduce bera-geth modified types (#3022) -> Introduces bera-geth-specific modified types into the codebase.
• chore(go): update to 1.25.7 (#3019) -> Go toolchain bump.
• network chores -> Updated mainnet seeds (#3018), Bepolia EL peers/bootnodes (#3033), and Bepolia CL seeds (#3034).

CI

• Replace Dependabot with daily govulncheck and dependency tests (#3032)
• Always run e2e tests without manual approval (#3037)
• Read Go version from go.mod instead of hardcoding in CI and Docker (#3036)
• Only post Codecov comment when coverage changes (#3038)

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>
