Arbitrum Nitro v3.6.2

This release is available as a Docker Image on Docker Hub at offchainlabs/nitro-node:v3.6.2-5b41a2d

This Docker image specifies default flags in its entrypoint which should be replicated if you're overriding the entrypoint: /usr/local/bin/nitro --validation.wasm.allowed-wasm-module-roots /home/user/nitro-legacy/machines,/home/user/target/machines

If you're running a validator without a split validation server (this will be true of most validators), you should instead use the image offchainlabs/nitro-node:v3.6.2-5b41a2d-validator which has the extra script /usr/local/bin/split-val-entry.sh as the entrypoint.

Arbitrum Nitro v3.6.0

This release is available as a Docker Image on Docker Hub at offchainlabs/nitro-node:v3.6.0-fc07dd2

This Docker image specifies default flags in its entrypoint which should be replicated if you're overriding the entrypoint: /usr/local/bin/nitro --validation.wasm.allowed-wasm-module-roots /home/user/nitro-legacy/machines,/home/user/target/machines

If you're running a validator without a split validation server (this will be true of most validators), you should instead use the image offchainlabs/nitro-node:v3.6.0-fc07dd2-validator which has the extra script /usr/local/bin/split-val-entry.sh as the entrypoint.

Important Note

This version includes go-ethereum changes to database schema, once you upgrade to v3.6.0 you will not be able to use the database for earlier versions of Nitro

What's Changed

This is the first version of Nitro with support for the features in Pectra https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-7600
This release includes updates to the nitro fork of go-ethereum equivalent to v1.15.5.

Purposefully NOT included in this release are these 4 EIPs related to supporting consensus-layer client operations like deposits, withdrawals, and consolidation since Arbitrum uses a very different consensus mechanism which does not rely on proof of stake:

• EIP-6110: Supply validator deposits on chain
• EIP-7002: Execution layer triggerable exits
• EIP-7251: Increase the MAX_EFFECTIVE_BALANCE
• EIP-7685: General purpose execution layer requests

Support for EIP-7623 (increased calldata cost) has been added, but hidden behind a new ArbOwner precompile method setCalldataPriceIncrese(bool) which is disabled by default. Contract Code
