Release v1.29.0

Good day everyone! This is our v1.29.0 Pectra ready release for mandatory upgrading. If you are running on Gnosis or Ethereum mainnet, this version is the minimum required to ensure your node makes it through the hard forks on Gnosis (Apr-30-2025 14:03:40 UTC) and Ethereum (May-7-2025 10:05:11 UTC).

v1.29.0 includes some stack upgrades such as js-libp2p 2.0, IDONTWANT in gossipsub, ssz v1.2 and optimizations for Pectra seen on previous testnets such as improved block attestation packing.

Happy Pectra forking 🍴🦒! See you on the other side.

Release v1.28.1

Good day Lodestar users! We've released a minor hotfix release which contains a fix for Hoodi network users who run Lodestar's validator client in multi-client setups. If your validator client is not having any issues on Hoodi, there is no need for this upgrade from v1.28.0.

Release v1.28.0

Hey Lodestar users! We just released v1.28.0 which contains fixes and optimizations we found throughout the Holesky rescue. This release is recommended for all users of Lodestar on all networks.

This release contains the --network hoodi option for the new public testnet.

In addition, we have a new feature that will locally persist the state and block if you receive an invalid state root. These objects will be accessible in your <dataDir>/invalidSszObjects/ folder, which will help us in debugging issues.
