This release enables the Prague execution-layer fork on mainnet.

Prague

As of this release, the Prague fork is scheduled to occur on mainnet at block timestamp 1746612311 (Wed May 07 10:05:11 2025 UTC). As a reminder, the fork contains the following EIPs:

• EIP-2537: Precompile for BLS12-381 curve operations
• EIP-2935: Save historical block hashes in state
• EIP-6110: Supply validator deposits on chain
• EIP-7002: Execution layer triggerable exits
• EIP-7251: Increase the MAX_EFFECTIVE_BALANCE
• EIP-7549: Move committee index outside Attestation
• EIP-7623: Increase calldata cost
• EIP-7685: General purpose execution layer requests
• EIP-7691: Blob throughput increase
• EIP-7702: Set EOA account code
• EIP-7840: Add blob schedule to EL config files

All changes

• The Prague fork timestamp was added for mainnet. (#31535)
• Transaction-sending RPCs will now add txs to the 'locals' tracker only when they have any chance of inclusion. This is a bit of a revert from the behavior we added in v1.15.4, where APIs such as eth_sendRawTransaction would always return a txhash, even if the transaction wasn't includable on chain. (#31618)
• If an EVM system call fails during block execution, the block is considered invalid. (#31639)
• An corner-case crash in eth_feeHistory related to blob fees is resolved. (#31663)
• Several correctness bugs in the new log indexer have been fixed. (#31590, #31680, #31671, #31668, #31642)
• The history pruning implementation was further improved. (#31638, #31636, #31656)
• Geth will now print periodic logs when a non-activated fork is configured. (#31340)
• Geth will now occasionally drop peers at random after being fully synced. (#31476)
• CPU usage of tx propagation has been optimized. (#31657)
• Peer disconnect metrics are improved. (#31629, #31621)
