filecoin-project/lotus v1.36.1

on GitHub

This is the stable release of Lotus Node and Miner v1.36.1, a recommended patch release focused on Ethereum RPC correctness, gateway API alignment, and release/build reliability.

☢️ Upgrade Warnings ☢️

• There are no upgrade warnings for this release.

⭐ New Features

• feat(eth): add eth_baseFee JSON-RPC method returning the base fee for the next block, matching geth behavior via ComputeBaseFee on the current tipset (filecoin-project/lotus#13615)

🐛 Bug Fixes

• fix(rpc): GasEstimateMessageGas no longer panics when estimating messages with an empty To or From address (filecoin-project/lotus#13672)
• fix(api): trace transaction api returns the correct error (filecoin-project/lotus#13614)
• fix(cli): warn when lotus daemon --api overrides the configured API.ListenAddress / LOTUS_API_LISTENADDRESS, making the selected API endpoint visible to operators (filecoin-project/lotus#13670)
• fix(cli): RPC API URLs ending with a trailing slash no longer produce duplicate slashes before /rpc/<version> (filecoin-project/lotus#13662)
• Fix off-by-one in transactionPosition returned by trace_block, trace_filter and trace_transaction. Positions were 1-indexed; per the Ethereum trace API spec they are 0-indexed and must match the corresponding transactionIndex from eth_getBlockByNumber. (filecoin-project/lotus#13610)
• fix(eth): eth_getTransactionReceipt no longer fails when another transaction in the same block emits a large number of events. MaxFilterResults now caps only multi-tipset event queries; single-block calls (eth_getLogs with BlockHash, eth_getBlockReceipts, eth_getTransactionReceipt) bypass it. Public RPC operators should apply rate and response-size limits at the proxy layer for these calls; a single response can be large when a block contains log-heavy transactions (filecoin-project/lotus#13617)
• fix(eth): return indexed block-level logsBloom for eth_getBlockByHash, eth_getBlockByNumber, and new-head subscription payloads when chain-index bloom data is available; existing tipsets without bloom rows continue to fall back to the previous full bloom. This adds a chain index DB migration for the tipset_bloom table and requires no RPC-provider config changes. (filecoin-project/lotus#13618)
• fix(gateway): align v2 RPC surface (/rpc/v2) with v1; remove *Limited and *Untrusted eth method variants (filecoin-project/lotus#13628)
• fix(eth): eth_call, eth_estimateGas and StateCall are no longer refused at the epoch immediately after an expensive network-upgrade migration; that block's migrated state is already available, so only the upgrade epoch itself is refused. This unblocks indexers that replay eth_call at the block of each event. The refusal now returns a typed error with the registered JSON-RPC code -32002 and a recognisable message, instead of the generic application code 1 (filecoin-project/lotus#13644)
• fix: update Filecoin FFI to v1.36.1 (filecoin-project/lotus#13663)
• fix(build): ffi-version-check now depends on the module update (filecoin-project/lotus#13658)
• fix: docker builds Lotus on bullseye again (filecoin-project/lotus#13611)
• fix: remove F3 data with existing chain cleanup (filecoin-project/lotus#13609)

👌 Improvements

• Silence libp2p config log spam (filecoin-project/lotus#13612)
• feat(mempool): raise the default per-actor cap on the untrusted push path (MaxUntrustedActorPendingMessages) from 10 to 100, reducing spurious ErrTooManyPendingMessages rejections for normal-cadence senders relaying through lotus-gateway / public RPC (filecoin-project/lotus#13636)
• chore(cli): lotus-miner info supports --actor to query any miner without a local miner repo; miner-daemon-only sections are skipped when --actor is set (filecoin-project/lotus#13641)
• chore: remove obsolete network-version guards across CLI, state-manager, storage, and miner code. (filecoin-project/lotus#13680)
• feat: update mainnet.pi to remove the Venus bootstrap peer (filecoin-project/lotus#13648)
