Notable user-facing changes:

Notable internal changes:

  • Improvements to RPC performance for eth_call
  • Fixed a bug in debug_traceTransaction. Previously, within a transaction, only the first 100 calls were being traced
  • Dataplane v2 - simpler and more efficient implementation; small performance improvement in broadcast time
  • Statesync improvements to mitigate negative performance effects on upstream validator nodes

v0.8.1 [2025-02-14]

Notable user-facing changes:

  • Block time reduced to 500 ms from 1s (enabled 2/14/25 19:00 GMT)
  • Block gas limit reduced to 150M from 300M (to keep gas limit consistent) (enabled 2/14/25 19:00 GMT)
  • Transactions are charged based on gas limit, not gas consumed (enabled 2/14/25 19:00 GMT)

Notable internal changes:
