This is v1.11.8 of the Smartnode.
It is a mandatory update for all users as it enables the Deneb/Cancun ("Dencun") Mainnet upgrade, which will occur at March 13, 2024, 01:55:35pm UTC.
Note that with blobs (EIP-4844) being added in Dencun, each node is expected to consume additional disk space, with an expected average of 50 GiB, up to a maximum of 103GiB for blobs.
