keep-network/keep-ecdsa v1.7.1

Client: 1.7.1 (Mainnet)

on GitHub

Overview

This release is a hotfix for EIP155 support in the client. It also updates the default max gas price and improves parameters of public key and signature submission monitoring loops to optimize gas expenditure in certain cases.

Note that the client version can be updated without any config changes.

Details

v1.7.1 is the latest release of Keep ECDSA client, which primarily drives ECDSA keeps. The client changes since v1.7.0 are:

• Transactions are signed according to EIP155. go-ethereum v1.10.0 has switched to denying non-EIP155 signatures by default. Operators running Keep ECDSA v1.7.0 client version and lower had to provide --rpc.allow-unprotected-txs when starting go-ethereum to allow the client submit transactions to the chain if running go-ethereum version >= v1.10.0. This hotfix release of ECDSA client brings support for EIP155 signatures and the client can now work with go-ethereum >= v1.10.0 without unprotected TX allowance.
• Increased default max gas price to 1000 Gwei. We have recently observed an average gas price on Ethereum mainnet to peak even to 625 Gwei. Some operators had to update their configurations because 500 Gwei default max gas price was not enough. Note that increasing the default max gas price to 1000 Gwei does not mean that every transaction will be submitted with this gas price. This is the maximum gas price the client is allowed to use after several transaction gas bump replacement operations if the transaction could not mined in an expected time frame.
• Public key and signature submission retries are now less aggressive. The previous parameters could lead to increased gas expenditure, especially in cases when the max gas price was too low and original transactions were not getting mined for a long time.
