This release introduces a consensus upgrade from internal serial heights to a slot-based heights, bringing SSV's consensus closer to Ethereum's.
- 🔄 Nodes no longer need to synchronize heights from peers — quicker startup and less network congestion.
- 🎯 Stuck duties will now cease after 15 rounds — minimizing wasted resources on unnecessary retries.
- ⚡ New duties take precedence over any currently stuck ones — improving performance in some scenarios.
Genesis Schedule
⚠️ This is a major upgrade. Once you upgrade, your node would not perform any duties until the v0.6.0 genesis epoch.
