Release notes

This version introduces important updates and optimizations across multiple components, improving network stability, performance, and test coverage. It includes several fixes and enhancements to ensure smoother operation for all supported networks, including the Ethereum Mainnet.

Key improvements include:

• Updated default Ethereum mainnet gas limit to 60M
• Hardened code DB and trie persistence mechanisms
• Optimizations for RPC workflows, pruning, and snap sync reliability
• Enhancements to blob proofs, gas estimation, and network configuration updates
• Reproducible Nethermind builds

These changes are strongly recommended for all operators to maintain compatibility and ensure optimal stability with the latest network parameters.
