v0.6.2

Summary

This includes a consensus BREAKING change to Boonet that is NOT backwards compatible.

Effective changes to validator set processing are:

• The min stake (or EjectionBalance) is now set to 250k BERA
• The EffectiveBalanceIncrement (not the same as minimum deposit amount on the execution layer deposit contract) is now set to 10k BERA

Breaking

This version is NOT fully compatible with bArtio. The last stable release recommended for Bartio is v0.2.0-alpha.8.

v0.5.1

Summary

This includes various chores and fixes to boonet. The biggest change is around CLI tooling:

• create-validator cmd: The arguments are expected in the order of withdrawal address, deposit amount, current version, and genesis validator root. Using withdrawal address instead of credentials.
  • Before:
    beacond deposit create-validator 0x0100000000000000000000007B856C6D250eED55D2D7543ae2169a1cd7f034Ad $DEPOSIT_AMOUNT $FORK_VERSION $GENESIS_VALIDATOR_ROOT --home $HOME_DIR
  • After:
    beacond deposit create-validator 0x7B856C6D250eED55D2D7543ae2169a1cd7f034Ad $DEPOSIT_AMOUNT $FORK_VERSION $GENESIS_VALIDATOR_ROOT --home $HOME_DIR
• add-premined-deposit cmd: Adds a validator to the genesis file with the necessary credentials. The arguments are expected in the order of the deposit amount (in gwei) and withdrawal address. Now both deposit amount and withdrawal address are required and not flags. Both are allowed to be the 0 values.
  • Before with OPTIONAL --deposit-amount:
    beacond genesis add-premined-deposit --deposit-amount 32000000000 --home $HOME_DIR
  • After with REQUIRED deposit amount and withdrawal address args:
    beacond genesis add-premined-deposit 32000000000 0x7B856C6D250eED55D2D7543ae2169a1cd7f034Ad --home $HOME_DIR
