prysmaticlabs/prysm v1.0.0-alpha.9

Big fixes before Topaz restart for v0.12

on GitHub

(2020-06-01)

This release has two weeks worth of fixes, improvements, and new features for Topaz.

Try out new features with the --dev flag!

Current features under development testing (--dev):

• --enable-new-state-mgmt which allows for faster state access by reducing disk I/O. This flag may cause a long start up delay if running from an existing database for the first time.
• --enable-init-sync-wrr enables a better load balancing scheme for initial synchronization. This should have a considerable increase in blocks per second, and your peers will thank you!
• --reduce-attester-state-copy adds some additional logic to reduce the number of full state copies required to produce an attestation. This is a helpful flag for post sync runtime resources (CPU / memory).

As internal testing proceeds with v0.12 (#5614), Topaz will be restarted with a new deposit contract and genesis validator set. Watch for updates this week for planned announcement to outline the Topaz restart schedule for spec v0.12 support. This network restart is expected to be the last scheduled restart before mainnet and will be fully multi-client compatible.
