v1.15.8

As previously announced on our Discord #releases channel and on the previous release the smartnode-install repo is now deprecated.

New Smart Node releases are available on https://github.com/rocket-pool/smartnode/releases

v1.15.7

This is v1.15.7 of the Smart Node with important client updates, fixes for oDAO health check submissions and more. It's also the result of a big effort to remove multiple Github repositories maintained by Rocket Pool, making future development easier (smartnode-install, rocketpool-go, and the treegen repositories had their history moved to smartnode and are eventually going to be archived) .

Client Updates

• Geth updated to v1.15.11;
• Nethermind updated to v1.13.11;
• Besu updated to v25.5.0;
• Reth updated to v1.4.3;
• Nimbus updated to v25.5.0;
• Lodestar updated to v1.30.0;
• Prysm updated to v6.0.3;

Smart Node Updates

• Added the command rp wallet masquerade, which allows users to simulate the Smart Node usage with a different wallet address. All commands, except for those running on the node and watchtower containers, will run considering the given wallet (obviously not submitting transactions). To stop masquerading use rp wallet end-masquerade;
• All the assets the Smart Node previously needed to download during the installation process are now on embedded in the Smart Node executable. This makes for a more reliable release process as we don't need to cross reference different repos and version tags;
• With Prysm v6.0.3 we're now using the official Prysm release tag and deprecating the Rocket Pools specific builds;
• Grafana Dashboards have been moved from the smartnode-install repo and now live inside the smartnode. If you're using the Smart Node with docker on a new install, a read-only version of the latest RP Grafana dashboard will be automatically loaded without relying on grafana.com (the old import method is still available if you want to use it);
• Smart Node releases are now available on the smartnode repo (https://github.com/rocket-pool/smartnode/releases). This will be the last release that will also be available on the smartnode-install repo. Please make sure to change any update scripts pointing to the old URL.
• Remove invocations to nethermind prune starter container;
• Remove the ecmigrator container;
• Using the new Base price messenger;
• Fix sending custom tokens without 18 decimals. The Smart Node will now fetch the decimals from the contracts;
• Fix for oDAO health check price submissions (submissions after consensus);
• The treegen repo is now deprecated and moved to the main repo. The latest treegen build will be included in every Smart Node release as well as in the smartnode container.
• Multiple improvements to the build process making it much faster.
