Pre-release

We are excited to announce a Sepolia Only Testnet release, v3.2.2-rc.0 🎉

This is a Sepolia Only Testnet release. Please only upgrade your Sepolia beacon node and validator to this release before tomorrow's Shanghai Capella hard fork time 2/28/2023, 4:04:48 AM UTC. Please DO NOT use this release on Mainnet or any other testnets. Summary:

  • This is a mandatory release for Sepolia testnet
  • This is not recommended for everything else, including Mainnet and Goerli

We are excited to announce the release of Prysm v3.2.1 🎉

This is the first release to support Capella / Shanghai. The Sepolia testnet Capella upgrade time is currently set to 2/28/2023, 4:04:48 AM UTC. The Goerli testnet and Mainnet upgrade times are still yet to be determined. In Summary:

  • This is a mandatory upgrade for Sepolia nodes and validators
  • This is a recommended upgrade for Goerli and Mainnet nodes and validators

Known issues

  • mev-boost, relayer, and builder support for Capella upgrade are built in but still need to be tested. Given the lack of testing infrastructure, none of the clients could test this for withdrawals testnet. There may be hiccups when using mev-boost on the Capella upgraded testnets

As we prepare our v3 mainnet release for The Merge, v2.1.4 marks the end of the v2 era. Node operators and validators are highly encouraged to upgrade to release v2.1.4 - many bug fixes and improvements have been included in preparation for The Merge. v3 will contain breaking changes, and will be released within the next few weeks. Using v2.1.4 in the meantime will give you access to a more streamlined user experience. See our v2.1.4 doc to learn how to use v2.1.4 to run a Merge-ready configuration on the Goerli-Prater network pair.

This release consists 181 commits. These notes reflect only the highlights in the changelist here: v2.1.3...v2.1.4
