This feature release of Lotus includes numerous improvements and enhancements for node operators, ETH RPC-providers and storage providers.
This feature release requires a minimum Go version of v1.19.12 or higher to successfully build Lotus. Go version 1.20 is also supported, but 1.21 is NOT.
Highlights
- Lotus now includes a Slasher tool to monitor the network for Consensus Faults, and report them as appropriate
- The Slasher investigates all incoming blocks, and assesses whether they trigger any of the three Consensus Faults defined in the Filecoin protocol
- If any faults are detected, the Slasher sends a
ReportConsensusFaultmessage to the faulty miner - For more information on the Slasher, including how to run it, please find the documentation here
- The Ethereum-like RPC exposed by Lotus is now compatible with EIP-1898: #10815
- The lotus-miner PieceReader now supports parallel reads: #10913
- Added new environment variable
LOTUS_EXEC_TRACE_CACHE_SIZEto configure execution trace cache size (filecoin-project/lotus#10585)- If unset, we default to caching 16 most recent execution traces. Storage Providers may want to set this to 0, while exchanges may want to crank it up.
