Full list of changes below.

Notice: Testnet deprecations

With this release, the Medalla testnet and all other testnets on a eth2.0-spec older that v1 will no longer be supported.
If you wish to continue to interact with Medalla, use version v1.0.0-beta.2 for beacon node and validator.
Please consider submitting a voluntary exit for your Medalla validators, rather than abandoning them entirely.

We understand that this is inconvenient for testing so close to mainnet, so do not hesitate to reach out to our team with your concerns.
We'd be happy to manually backport a release for Medalla, if absolutely necessary. However, we encourage everyone to test their mainnet configuration in the Pyrmont Testnet.

Next testnet: Pyrmont

  • Use --pyrmont flag with your beacon node, validator, and slasher
  • Genesis time is Wednesday, November 18, 2020 12:00:00 PM UTC
  • Pyrmont genesis state has already been created with 100,000 validators (split amongst eth2 dev teams)
  • Pyrmont does not have an defined end-of-life date, but we expect it will run for several months
  • Pyrmont runs on eth2.0-spec v1.0.0. This is the same spec code, config, and parameters that will reach mainnet.
  • Pyrmont is an area in Sydney, a favorite of Sigma Prime (Lighthouse) devs, and location of EDCON 2019, which hosted one of the early Eth2 dev workshops.

Expect a Pyrmont launchpad and Prysm documentation for Pyrmont prior to Pyrmont genesis time.
