rocket-pool/smartnode-install v1.9.5

on GitHub

This is v1.9.5 of the Smartnode.
It is a simple bugfix of v1.9.4 and includes important Prysm and Nimbus updates.

This is a high priority update for Prysm and Nimbus users.
This is a medium priority update for Lighthouse users, and for anyone that experienced issues when running rocketpool node status as it fixes that command.
For everyone else, it is low priority.

⚠️ Oracle DAO members must update to this version (or higher) by Epoch 204900 on Mainnet (May-31-2023 04:00:23 AM UTC) so network balance consensus is maintained.

To upgrade, follow the Smartnode upgrade instructions.

Client Updates

• Updated Nethermind to v1.18.1.

• Updated Lighthouse to v4.2.0.

• Updated Nimbus to v23.5.1 - a high priority update for anyone with a fallback node enabled.

• Updated Prysm to v4.0.5 - a very high priority update.

  • Note that Prysm's new --build-block-parallel flag has been deprecated and has been removed.
  • Due to a misconfigured Docker image, the Smartnode uses tag HEAD-aa7d0df-debug for the x64 BN and VC images instead of HEAD-aa7d0d-debug. This is expected.

Note for Besu arm64 Users

The original release of the Docker image for Besu v23.4.0 on arm64 platforms (included with Smartnode v1.9.4) was broken.
Besu has since fixed and re-released the image.
If you are a Docker mode user on arm64 and want to use Besu v23.4.0 again, please run the following command before updating the Smartnode:

docker rmi hyperledger/besu:23.4.0

This will remove the old (broken) image from your cache and redownload it automatically after you update the Smartnode and start it.

Reminder - New Grafana Dashboard

If you haven't updated to Grafana Dashboard v1.3.0 yet, you should consider doing so.
It adds many new Atlas and Shapella features!
See the v1.9.4 release notes for a screenshot, a list of what's new, and installation instructions.

Bug Fixes

• rocketpool node status now works for nodes that don't have any rewardable RPL staked.

• Grafana's "Rewardable RPL" display now properly accounts for minipools with timed-out bond reductions.

• Grafana's "Borrowed" and "Bonded" RPL Collateral gauges now display the proper values when you have minipools that haven't been assigned ETH from the staking pool yet (ones still in the Rocket Pool queue).
