Summary
This patch update includes a fix for payload builders. Previously geth block builders might return early with an empty and invalid payload. Now a default config has been changed (miner recommit interval is now 1s) to allow quicker payload updates, reducing the likelihood of an empty payload. As a default the empty payload now includes the PoL tx to avoid causing validation errors after the Prague1 hard fork.

Verifying Binary Signatures
All release binaries are signed with PGP. To verify:
- Download the public key
- Import the key:
gpg --import release.asc
- Verify the signature:
gpg --verify <filename>.asc <filename>
Docker Images
Docker images are available at ghcr.io/berachain/bera-geth
and are signed with Cosign using keyless signing from GitHub Actions OIDC.
To verify a specific release image (recommended: by digest):
cosign verify \
--certificate-oidc-issuer "https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com" \
--certificate-identity-regexp "^https://github.com/berachain/bera-geth/.github/workflows/docker.yml@.+" \
ghcr.io/berachain/bera-geth@$(docker buildx imagetools inspect ghcr.io/berachain/bera-geth:v1.011602.5 | awk '/^Digest:/ {print $2; exit}')
To verify the latest
unstable image instead (not recommended; tags can move):
cosign verify \
--certificate-oidc-issuer "https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com" \
--certificate-identity-regexp "^https://github.com/berachain/bera-geth/.github/workflows/docker.yml@.+" \
ghcr.io/berachain/bera-geth@$(docker buildx imagetools inspect ghcr.io/berachain/bera-geth:latest | awk '/^Digest:/ {print $2; exit}')
