wormhole-foundation/wormhole v2.4.1

guardiand v2.4.1

on GitHub

Backwards-incompatible changes:

• The unused --terraChainID flag was removed.

New features:

• guardiand now supports generating NFT/token bridge upgrade governance VAAs.

• Support for posting alerts to Discord was added (can be seen in action in #alerts on Discord).

• A guardiand admin find-missing-messages command was added, which searches the local VAA store for sequence number gaps for a specific emitter address. This can be used to verify whether the local node is missing any signed VAAs - there should be zero gaps.

  For example, this is how you could search for missing messages for recent emitters on mainnet using this new feature:

  grep -aF "observed and signed confirmed message publication" /var/log/wormhole.log | \
    head -n 500 | grep -Po '{.*}'  | jq -r '.message_id | split("/")[:-1] | join(" ")' | sort | uniq | \
    xargs -n2 echo sudo -u wormhole guardiand admin find-missing-messages --socket /run/guardiand/admin.socket
  

Improvements:

• No longer run the scheduled recovery on startup.
• Some Prometheus per-chain metrics were fixed to include the correct source label rather than "unknown".
• Messages with a sequence number larger than INT64_MAX can now be requested from the API.
• Gossip observations now include a MessageID field, which is logged. This helps debugging observations without local state. The previous release already added a TxHash field for the same reason.
