This is v1.11.5 of the Smartnode.
It is a recommended update for node operators due to bug fixes and new features on the updated clients.
⚠️ Important Date ⚠️
oDAO nodes should update before the 18th to avoid consensus issues and also to start submitting prices to Arbitrum using the new price messenger V2. Apologies for the short time to update!
⚠️ Prysm update order ⚠️
The latest Prysm update mandates an order for the update of the Validator Client and Beacon Node. Updating the Smartnode will handle both updates at the same time, but if you have a Prysm fallback node you manually manage, you must update it to v4.2.0 BEFORE updating the Smartnode!
Client Updates
- Geth updated to v1.13.10 - Contains small improvements and bug fixes;
- Prysm updated to v4.2.0 - Contains important improvements and bug fixes;
- Besu updated to v24.1.0 which is a strongly recommended update for all Mainnet users;
- Nimbus updated to v24.1.1 which is a hotfix addressing a problem introduced in the v24.1.0 release.
- Nethermind updated to v1.25.0 - this version has multiple improvements and will download all bodies and receipts by default, contributing to improve the network health but can cause down time until it finishes syncing and also requires an extra 200 GB of disk space.
