Smartnode Changes
- Added the Rescue Node add-on. You can now enable/disable the Rescue Node directly from the Smartnode TUI. Thanks Patches for this contribution!
- Added Rescue Node info to the
node statuscommand. This command now shows you for how long your Rescue Node credentials are going to be valid. - New installations will use Path-Based State Scheme (PBSS) as the default for Geth. Thanks objectObject for this contribution!
- Added the option to change the BN P2P QUIC port settings. This is not mandatory but users who want to benefit from using the faster QUIC protocol will need to forward this port to the node IP address on your router configuration. The default port is 9002 (UDP) and the QUIC protocol is only used by Lighthouse (v4.5.0+).
Important Note
This release exposes an additional port to use the QUIC protocol for P2P connections. By default, this port is 9002, if you've already been using this port for regular P2P connections (on a fallback or second node), you'll need to change the QUIC port to use a new port number.
- run
rocketpool s c - go to the ETH2 section, and change the "P2P QUIC port" to a different port number, like 9003, then press enter and save your changes.
