sei-protocol/sei-chain v6.8.0-rc3

on GitHub

We recommend that all atlantic-2 validators and node operators update to v6.8.0-rc3. The update is required for RPC nodes. There is no governance proposal and no coordinated chain halt.

v6.8.0-rc3 is a release candidate on top of v6.8.0-rc2. It makes wide eth_getLogs queries cheaper for RPC nodes and stops them early when the client cancels (#4744, #4790, #4791, #4799, #4802). It also includes the v6.7.4 trace fix, so debug_trace* loads a past block's full validator set (#4811).

Wide log queries (over 100 blocks) share a node-wide limit of 30 queries per second. You can now change it with large_log_query_rps under [evm] in app.toml. Set it to 0 to turn the limit off. If the key is missing, the limit stays at 30 (#4800).

How to Update

1. Build v6.8.0-rc3 with git fetch --tags && git checkout v6.8.0-rc3 && make install.
2. Stop the node.
3. Replace the seid binary with v6.8.0-rc3. If you use Cosmovisor, replace the binary in upgrades/v6.8/bin/.
4. Start the node.
5. Make sure that seid version shows v6.8.0-rc3 and that the node syncs new blocks.
