⚠️ This is a beta release and is meant to be run on the Prater Testnet ONLY. We have disabled Mainnet for it in the service config TUI. Please do not try to run this on Mainnet.
This is a special out-of-band beta release of the Smartnode.
v1.5.2-b1 is essentially the same as v1.5.1, but it uses the new experimental split client mode for Nimbus.
Rather than running the BN and VC in the same process, this will run them in separate containers, the same way all of the other clients are run.
This has the following benefits:
- Nimbus now supports fallback clients. It is compatible with any fallback BN (Lighthouse, Nimbus, Prysm, or Teku).
- Creating new minipools will now just restart the VC instead of the entire Nimbus BN as they formally did, which is much faster.
If you are a beta tester and have a Prater node, please help both us and the Nimbus team test this new feature out!
To install it, please download the CLI:
Example for x64 Linux systems:
wget https://github.com/rocket-pool/smartnode-install/releases/download/v1.5.2-b1/rocketpool-cli-linux-amd64 -O ~/bin/rocketpool
Example for ARM Linux systems:
wget https://github.com/rocket-pool/smartnode-install/releases/download/v1.5.2-b1/rocketpool-cli-linux-arm64 -O ~/bin/rocketpool
Then run rocketpool service install on a fresh system or rocketpool service install -d on a system with an existing configuration to install it.
