Notes

Nimbus v22.12.0 is a medium-urgency release which improves the doppelganger detection in the Nimbus validator client through the use of standardized APIs that are compatible with all third-party beacon nodes. Furthermore, it addresses several inconsistencies in the behavior between the stand-alone beacon node and the validator client. This release also allows users of trusted node sync to skip downloading the entire history of validator deposits by syncing against a server that supports the standardized /eth/v1/beacon/deposit_snapshot REST endpoint.

Improvements

  • 60% more efficient block replaying speed brings faster REST responses and
    more resilience on the network in the face of heavy forking activity and
    non-finalization:

    #4435

  • Support for obtaining a deposit snapshot during trusted node sync from
    servers supporting the standardized /eth/v1/beacon/deposit_snapshot
    REST endpoint:

    https://nimbus.guide/trusted-node-sync.html#skip-syncing-the-history-of-deposits
    #4303

  • Official docker images for the Nimbus validator client are now available:

    https://hub.docker.com/r/statusim/nimbus-validator-client
    #4439

  • The skip_randao_verification query parameter is now also supported in
    the /eth/v1/validator/blinded_blocks/{slot} API endpoint:

    #4435

  • The doppelganger detection in the Nimbus validator client is now based on
    the standardized /eth/v1/validator/liveness/{epoch} REST endpoint:

    #4381

  • The validator client will now use with the standard exit code 129 in
    case of detected doppelganger on the network:

    #4398

Fixes

  • A potential false-positive in the doppelganger detection logic:

    #4398

  • A potential hang in trusted node sync:

    #4303

Breaking changes:

  • The built-in support for the Ropsten testnet has been removed:

    #4280

    You can still connect to the Ropsten network by specifying its
    metadata directory on the command line through the --network
    parameter.

  • The statusim/nimbus-eth2 docker image no longer includes the
    nimbus_validator_client binary and the shell scripts included
    in the release tarballs. Please use the new dedicated image for
    the Nimbus validator client.

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
