v0.3.0-alpha.0

Summary

Security Hardening

• Proof & Validation Security: Strengthened proof generation and validator validation checks across node API components to enhance accuracy and trustworthiness.
• Execution & State Transition Protection: Enhanced concurrency handling, error safeguards, and streamlined state transitions for smoother and safer operations.
• Optimized Dependencies & Cleanup: Updated dependencies, refactored code, and cleared redundant functions to boost performance and reduce technical debt.

Breaking

It is NOT backwards compatible with bartio-beacon-80084 genesis; it is state breaking with respect to v0.2.0-alpha.8.

Update Priority

This table provides priorities for which classes of users should update particular components.

User Class	Bartio	General
