v24.4.0

Notes

Nimbus v24.4.0 is a low-urgency release with stability and performance improvements. It also removes built-in Prater/Goerli chain support; people are encouraged to migrate to Holesky or Sepolia.

Improvements

• Large numbers of exits in a single block or epoch don't cause disproportionate slowdowns:
  #6161

• Support for using era file for the initial checkpoint block:
  #6164

• ncli_db supports importing blobs:
  #6166

Fixes

• produceBlockV3 correctly encodes execution_payload_blinded response:
  #6204

• Avoid a crash when handling blob backfill:
  #6168

• Avoid spurious errors verifying era files with empty epochs:
  #6163

• Address cases where REST blocks submitted have mismatched KZG commitments and blobs:
  #6150

• Fix a rare block verification failure depending on initialization spanning sync committees:
  #6160

Urgency guidelines

low-urgency: update at your own convenience, sometime within our normal update cycle of two weeks

medium-urgency: may contain an important stability fix, it is better to update sooner rather than later

high-urgency: update as soon as you can, this is a critical update required for Nimbus to function correctly

v24.2.1

Notes

Nimbus v24.2.1 is a medium-urgency release that includes full support for the upcoming Ethereum mainnet Deneb hard-fork that will be executed on 13th of March. The same support is also provided for Gnosis Chain where the hard-fork will be executed on 11th of March. Other stability and performance improvements make this release a compelling upgrade for all Nimbus users.

Improvements

• The Deneb hard-fork has been scheduled for Mainnet and Gnosis Chain:
  #5868

• The Nimbus validator client now uses the /eth/v3/validator/blocks/{slot} Beacon API endpoint when the configured beacon node supports it:
  #5842

• The list of bootstrap nodes for Mainnet has been updated:
  #5848

• Improved use of buffering reduces the risk of EL request timeouts:
  #5893

Fixes

• A regression in the implementation of eth_getLogs was preventing Nimbus from syncing deposits correctly:
  #5857

• A performance regression was causing high CPU load during the backfill process after checkpoint sync:
  #5869

• Under certain conditions, the backfill process after checkpoint sync could fail to persist the starting checkpoint block:
  #5863

• Under certain conditions, valid blocks with blobs that are not observed yet were permanently considered unviable for inclusion in the blockchain:
  #5858

• The Nimbus validator client was not tracking DNS record changes when dynamic host names are used instead of IP addresses:
  #5846

• The REST server was becoming unresponsive under certain rare conditions:
  #5892

v24.2.0

Notes

Nimbus v24.2.0 is a low-urgency upgrade bringing important stability improvements for Deneb-enabled networks. It's highly recommended for users who are testing their setups in the Holešky testnet, which will be transitioned to Deneb on 7th of February.

Improvements

• Nimbus now supports the /eth/v1/beacon/blinded_blocks/{block_id} Beacon API endpoint:
  #5829
  https://ethereum.github.io/beacon-APIs/?urls.primaryName=v2.4.2#/Beacon/getBlindedBlock

• Nimbus now reports more comprehensive information in case of errors while interacting with an external builder:
  #5819

Fixes

• Nimbus was frequently getting out of sync on Deneb-transitioned networks due to a regression introduced in the v24.1.2 release:
  #5834

• The block_sidecar event reported by the Beacon API had incorrect format for the versioned_hash value:
  #5844

• Rare circumstances could cause the Nimbus validator client to permanently lose its connection to the configured beacon node when the two processes had system clock disparities:
  #5827

• Nimbus now uses smaller Builder API validator registration batch size in order to prevent rarely triggered registration timeouts:
  #5837

v24.1.2

Notes

Nimbus v24.1.2 is a low-urgency point release bringing full support for the upcoming Cancun-Deneb hard-fork on the networks Sepolia, Chiado (Gnosis Chain testnet) and Holešky.

Improvements

• Nimbus v24.1.2 includes full support for the upcoming Deneb hard-fork in the networks Sepolia (30 Jan), Chiado (31 Jan) and Holešky (7 Feb):
  #5795
  #5725
  #5772
  #5796

• Nimbus no longer skips attestations during brief loss of connectivity to the execution client by attesting to the last known valid block:
  #5313

• The /eth/v1/events Beacon API endpoint now reports blob_sidecar events:
  #5728
  ethereum/beacon-APIs#350

• The Nimbus status bar and the "Slot start" log message now indicate the time of the next hard-fork in networks where it's already scheduled:
  #5761
  #5751
  #5731

Fixes

• The HTTP headers eth-consensus-block-value and eth-execution-payload-value supplied to the /eth/v3/validator/blocks/{slot} endpoint were not using decimal encoding:
  #5741

• Block headers within light client updates in Deneb-transitioned networks had incorrect zero values for the blob_gas_used field:
  #5763

• Incomplete responses to blobSidecarsByRange requests were inappropriately preventing the client from achieving the maximum possible syncing speed:
  #5766

• The Nimbus validator client was not implementing the strategy of using the withdrawal address of the validator as a fee recipient address when one is not explicitly specified. This was resulting in a failure to register any validators obtained from a --web3-signer-url with the configured --payload-builder-url when the --suggested-fee-recipient option is not provided:
  #5781
  #5730

• The /eth/v1/beacon/states/{state_id}/validators Beacon API endpoint was not compliant with the spec in the absence of the optional status field in the request:
  #5762
  #5758

Urgency guidelines

low-urgency: update at your own convenience, sometime within our normal update cycle of two weeks

medium-urgency: may contain an important stability fix, it is better to update sooner rather than later

high-urgency: update as soon as you can, this is a critical update required for Nimbus to function correctly

v24.1.1

Notes

Nimbus v24.1.1 is a hotfix addressing a problem introduced in the v24.1.0 release. Nimbus was crashing immediately after being connected to an execution layer node which is not fully synced. All users of v24.1.0 are advised to upgrade at their earliest convenience.

---

Nimbus v24.1.0 was a low-urgency upgrade bringing full support for the upcoming Cancun-Deneb hard-fork on the Goerli testnet and introducing the /eth/v3/validator/blocks/{slot} Beacon API end-point that greatly simplifies the implementation of profit-optimising validator clients.

Improvements

• Nimbus now includes the latest Goerli-Prater metadata, scheduling the Cancun-Deneb hard-fork:
  #5680

• The Nimbus beacon node now supports the /eth/v3/validator/blocks/{slot} Beacon API end-point:
  #5474
  https://ethereum.github.io/beacon-APIs/?urls.primaryName=dev#/Validator/produceBlockV3

• Nimbus now accepts POST requests to the /eth/v1/beacon/states/{state_id}/validators and /eth/v1/beacon/states/{state_id}/validator_balances Beacon API end-points:
  #5632
  ethereum/beacon-APIs#367

• Nimbus now follows the latest specification regarding the deprecated /eth/v1/validator/blinded_blocks/{slot} Beacon API end-point:
  #5639

• Nimbus now uses the latest set of bootstrap nodes for the Gnosis chain:
  #5656

Fixes

• Nimbus was sending unnecessary redundant forkChoiceUpdated notifications to the execution layer:
  #5635

• Nimbus was returning incorrect responses on requests for blocks at empty slots when working with ERA files:
  #5641

• The Nimbus validator client was not sending Builder API registration messages at the correct time:
  #5663

• Nimbus was ignoring a specified --jwt-secret option when no --el option was provided and the default localhost URL was being used:
  #5671
  #5665

Breaking Changes

• Machine consumers of Nimbus logs should be updated, as the abbreviated value of the NOTICE log level has been renamed from NOT to NTC:
  #5634

Urgency guidelines

low-urgency: update at your own convenience, sometime within our normal update cycle of two weeks

medium-urgency: may contain an important stability fix, it is better to update sooner rather than later

v23.11.0

Notes

Nimbus v23.11.0 is a low-urgency upgrade bringing enhanced support for the Obol DVT middleware, further profit optimisations for the Nimbus validator client and a simplified and safe alternative to the trusted node sync.

Improvements

• The new options external-beacon-api-url, trusted-block-root and trusted-state-root enable simple bootstrapping through the light client protocol and a non-trusted Beacon API provider:
  https://nimbus.guide/start-syncing.html#checkpoint-sync
  #5545

• Improved scoring algorithms allow the Nimbus validator client to maximize block rewards when working with multiple beacon nodes:
  #5447

• Nimbus now supports the /eth/v1/validator/beacon_committee_selections and /eth/v1/validator/sync_committee_selections Beacon API endpoints used by the Charon Obol middleware:
  #5375

• Efficient bulk write operations to the slashing protection database bring significant performance improvements when operating very large number of validators on a single machine (e.g. more than 10K):
  #5604

• Nimbus now disconnects peers who are behaving poorly with respect to the beacon chain request/response protocols and peers who are exceeding the GossipSub rate limits:
  #5579
  #5482

• The Nimbus guide now features light and dark themes:
  #5564

• Nimbus now honours the MIN_EPOCHS_FOR_BLOCK_REQUESTS network configuration parameter:
  #5590

Fixes

• The REST API endpoint /eth/v1/node/peers_count was producing an incorrectly encoded numeric response:
  #5548

• The REST API endpoint eth/v2/beacon/blocks was not handling the broadcast_validation parameter in accordance to the spec:
  #5531

• The validator client slashing database was not pruned:
  #5551

• Light clients following the event stream of light client updates delivered through the REST API or the P2P protocols were at risk of getting stuck due to missing notifications for certain key events:
  #5602
  ethereum/consensus-specs#3549

• Regression in v23.10.0 was preventing the Nimbus validator client from registering its validators with the external builder when no validators have been attached to the associated beacon node, effectively disabling the usage of the builder:
  #5603

• Nimbus was not retrying certain syncing requests after receiving an invalid response from a peer:
  #5615

• A theoretical possibility where Nimbus may fail to start after a clean shutdown has been addressed:
  #5617

Urgency guidelines

low-urgency: update at your own convenience, sometime within our normal update cycle of two weeks

medium-urgency: may contain an important stability fix, it is better to update sooner rather than later

high-urgency: update as soon as you can, this is a critical update required for Nimbus to function correctly
