Release v1.31.0

Good day everyone of our Lodestar users! As we prepare to go on a development sprint towards the Fusaka headliner, PeerDAS - we've released v1.31.0 which addresses some user experience issues and some user incompatibility issues. We recommend users update for the latest upgrades, and highly recommend those who have experienced errors such as "max listeners exceeded" warnings or Lodestar crashing on a VPS due to no AVX support. If you haven't been able to run Lodestar due to compatibility issues, we would be grateful if you gave it another try to see if your incompatibilities have been resolved.

Release v1.30.0

Happy Wednesday everyone! Lodestar just landed our v1.30.0 release with some optimizations for node operators. We recommend upgrading to take advantage of some of these new optimizations.

By default, we are now making serving historical state opt-in. If you're a node operator that makes use of the Beacon API for querying historical state, you will need to enable the functionality via --serveHistoricalState. We also now support fetching historical data from all state and proof APIs.

For those using Lodestar as stakers, you may see some performance enhancements by default from the above change. In addition, Gnosis users may notice additional enhancements in this version with the reintroduction of async aggregateWithRandomness post js-libp2p 2.0 upgrade.

Lodestar no longer supports the use of NodeJS v20.x and users installing from source must update their node environment to v22.x as you will no longer be able to build from source with versions below that. For those who prefer a simpler UX, we recommend setting up Lodestar with published binaries or via Docker for simplicity related to NodeJS dependencies.

We have removed the outdated GET /eth/v2/validator/blocks/{slot} and GET /eth/v1/validator/blinded_blocks/{slot} produce block APIs and will always default to using produceBlockV3 on the validator client. Therefore, --useProduceBlockV3 flag has been deprecated and no longer has any effect.

Release v1.29.0

Good day everyone! This is our v1.29.0 Pectra ready release for mandatory upgrading. If you are running on Gnosis or Ethereum mainnet, this version is the minimum required to ensure your node makes it through the hard forks on Gnosis (Apr-30-2025 14:03:40 UTC) and Ethereum (May-7-2025 10:05:11 UTC).

v1.29.0 includes some stack upgrades such as js-libp2p 2.0, IDONTWANT in gossipsub, ssz v1.2 and optimizations for Pectra seen on previous testnets such as improved block attestation packing.

Happy Pectra forking 🍴🦒! See you on the other side.
