What's Changed
- Commonware v2026.9.0: Update to the latest version of commonware #7450
- Optional P2P Sync: Enables validators to broadcast finalized-block confirmations and RPC nodes to receive them from peers, helping RPC nodes stay in sync with less reliance on their upstream connection. This feature is currently disabled by default, but available to opt into with
--consensus.devp2p.finalizations#7405. - Consensus Network Identity Startup Enforcements: Validators will check local executions state against the provided network identity and local DKG state. These checks allow for a trustless startup when booting up from a snapshot #7630
- Performance: reduces signature/key-authorization encoding allocations, precompile cloning and repeated hashing, and unnecessary txpool checks. (#7415, #7416, #7419, #7431, #7421)
