✨🔴 Optimistic Granite Mainnet Release

❗ Mainnet operators are required to update to this release to follow the chain post-Granite. This release contains an optimistic Granite Mainnet activation time of Wed 11 Sep 2024 16:00:01 UTC.

The corresponding monorepo op-node release is op-node/v1.9.1.

Optimism Governance Voting Cycle 26

The Granite activation contained in this release is still subject to approval during the currently ongoing Optimism Governance voting cycle 26, see the Governance Proposal of the Granite Protocol Upgrade. The reflection voting period ended on Aug 28 while the veto period ends on Sept 4, 19:00 UTC.

In the unlikely event that the veto period ends in a veto, we will publish a Veto Release. The granite activation can also be disabled by setting the override.granite configuration flag to a date in the far future, e.g. --override.granite 2281580442. Always confirm in startup logs that overrides have been applied correctly.

State Scheme Highlights

Per recently introduced changes from upstream geth (from the upstream Asteria release):

• The default state trie representation is changed from hash mode to path mode (i.e. --state.scheme flipped from hash to path). Users running full nodes must specify --state.scheme=hash if they're currently using hash-based db. Otherwise, op-geth will assume a path state scheme and will fail to follow the chain. Archive nodes do not need to specify --state.scheme as they will continue to run on hash mode.
• That said, it's recommended that full nodes switch to the path-based state scheme as it's much more performant. The main advantage is built-in, online historical state pruning; no more runaway state growth. This will require a re-sync if the existing database uses the hash scheme.
