We are pleased to announce a new JSON-RPC Relay release v0.70.0. This major release introduces a new READ_ONLY mode for the Relay. With this feature, now JSON-RPC Relay operators can run the Relay without transaction capabilities. This can be helpful to use a dedicated Relay for indexing purposes.
Another major feature introduced in this release is gasless transactions. The MAX_GAS_ALLOWANCE_HBAR configuration variable allows operators to pay for user's transactions. With this configuration variable, Relay operators can now decide if they want to subsidized transactions for their users. This provides a seamless process to onboard new users into the network.
This release focuses heavily on Ethereum JSON-RPC Spec compatibility, configuration simplification, and enhanced monitoring capabilities.
Alongside these improvements and refinements, this release includes minor bug fixes, dependency upgrades and internal changes. These updates contribute to a more reliable and seamless developer and user experience.
