September 2023
Protocol:
Fixed a problem with validator peers.
Resolved an issue that was causing significant CPU load and increased traffic between Coordinator nodes and the Bootnode when the number of nodes is small.
Added account unlocking for creators before block creation.
Corrected a panic issue in the beacon-chain service.
Fixed a potential panic in the p2p service.
Resolved a delay issue where peers took a long time to connect when starting gwat.
Updated the version of the blst Rust library.
Fixed the display of validator balances during block creation.
Enabled running the node without an account in the keystore.
Resolved synchronization issues when half of the nodes are turned off.
The first creator of the first slot is now able to create an empty block if no blocks were created during the epoch.
