Release v1.8.0

Good day everyone! Lodestar has just released v1.8.0 with some new features and performance enhancements! This update is recommended to all users of Lodestar.

Lodestar has incorporated features which allow the validator client to participate in Obol’s distributed validator cluster. As one of the first clients to support aggregated attestations, we’re happy to include the necessary changes required to lead adoption in distributed validator usage!

We’ve enhanced how our gossip queues for this release which should improve our attestations.

We added a ‘--nat’ flag to prevent wiping the ENR IP+UDP entries if the IP is not a local network interface. This will be helpful for users behind another NAT such as Docker network users.

Keystore decryption should be much faster now thanks to #5357 and we encourage larger node operators to re-test using Lodestar in their setups and bring forward any other blockers for adoption. There are many other enhancements with this release and the full change log can be found here.

Release v1.7.2

Release Notes

Lodestar users on Gnosis/Chiado networks, this one is for you! We just released v1.7.2 to address the issue of breaking the client specifically to those networks due to the Capella hardfork on Ethereum mainnet. This release will unschedule the configs so you can continue using Lodestar without issues on the v1.7.x series of releases.

For Gnosis/Chiado network users, this upgrade is mandatory if you are upgrading to a v1.7.x release. For Ethereum users, this upgrade is optional. All v1.7.x series of releases will continue to work for the Shapella upgrade on Ethereum mainnet.

Release v1.7.1

Release Notes

v1.7.1 includes a hotfix to solve an issue being experienced mostly by users on the Goerli testnet in relation to checkpoint syncing: https://github.com/ChainSafe/lodestar/releases/tag/v1.7.1

If you've been testing Lodestar on a testnet such as Goerli where there are frequently missed blocks, you may have experienced an Unable to fetch weak subjectivity state: Internal Server Error: block not found error while checkpoint syncing. This release addresses this issue and is recommended for upgrade, especially for Goerli users, creating a better testing experience.

Both v1.7.0 and v1.7.1 are Shapella-ready and will upgrade with the network on April 12. If you are not using Lodestar on Goerli, there is no immediate need to upgrade.
