What's Changed
1 Upgrade consensus layer from POW to POS for bsp-geth by @noslav in #78
2. Please ensure you have a consensus client available before the transition arrives! ETA=4d5h41m
Upgrade Process
- Here are all the clients available for Eth2
- We’re internally using (and recommend) lighthouse (rust hp client for eth2)
- For node operators who’re running the execution client (bsp-geth) and a consensus client (like lighthouse) the beacon node is additionally required, validator client is optional - i.e only if you also want to propose blocks and earn rewards by staking 32 Eth.
- All node operators should update to bsp-geth v1.3.0 immediately once it is released which is based off of go-ethereum
v1.10.23 - Geth/v1.10.23-stable-fcbc59ad/linux-amd64/go1.18.1updated to latest for the merge. - Configuring bsp-geth (the execution client) to connect to consensus client is the same as described here - below are all plus the additional flags that should be provided to bsp-geth so it speaks with the beacon node over http -
