This release contains a fix to a known issue with the database which caused excessive database usage (>20gb when it should be ~8gb) and missing beacon state errors whilst syncing.
This release is compatible with existing databases, but you must re-sync if you wish to benefit from these fixes.
To reiterate, to repair a broken Lighthouse database please re-sync (lighthouse bn --purge-db
) using this release.
Binaries are supplied for two platforms:
x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
: AMD/Intel 64-bit processors (most desktops, laptops, servers)aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu
: 64bit ARM processors (Raspberry Pi 4)Additionally there is also a -portable
suffix which indicates if the portable
feature is used:
portable
: uses modern CPU instructions to provide the fastest signature verification times (may cause Illegal instruction
error on older CPUs)portable
: approx. 20% slower, but should work on all modern 64-bit processors.Published by paulhauner about 4 years ago
This release contains a fix to a known deadlock condition (#1562) and should provide significant stability improvements for nodes which run high validator counts (>= 64).
There is a known issue with database pruning, causing failures during syncing and high disk usage. This is a major priority and a fix will be released ASAP.

This release provides a significant stability improvement (#1546) and protects nodes against a DoS vector.

This release provides a number of syncing improvements and stability updates. The majority of the updates are focused towards syncing and participating in the Medalla testnet along with adding support to migrate Prysm keystores into Lighthouse.
When syncing Medalla, there are a few large forks in existence. You may find your node shifting its view of the head slot quite a bit and sync may appear stalled. The node will sync all the forks and eventually find the true head. This can take up to 30-40 mins after it may look like sync has stalled. Once the network finalizes again, this will not be an issue.

This release provides significant performance and stability improvements in the presently unstable Medalla network. (Note: v0.2.3 was yanked).
IMPORTANT: add the --max-skip-slots 700
flag to your beacon node. E.g., lighthouse bn --http --max-skip-slots 700
otherwise you will be unable to sync
If your node is trying to sync (i.e., not reporting Synced
) or you're getting "skipping more than an epoch" warnings, we recommend:
lighthouse bn --purge-db
).The turmoil on the Medalla testnet, some bugs in other client implementations and inefficiencies in our own is making it very difficult to sync Medalla. You may need to restart sync if you get stalled and memory/CPU usage will be much higher than usual.
Future release will follow in the coming days with further improvements.

This release contains stability improvements and bug fixes in the networking stack.
This corrects an issue where nodes lost track of the head of the chain and required rebooting to rejoin the medalla network.

The first official release for the Medalla testnet. It can be used to participate in Medalla genesis.
Users should upgrade to this release as soon as possible.
Published by paulhauner over 4 years ago
Specification v0.11.2 with Schlesi as the default testnet.
This release mainly serves to act as a final checkpoint before we making breaking changes with v0.2.0
(to be released). As such, detailed release notes are not provided.

Updates to use the latest testnet (testnet3
). Provides several optimizations and bug fixes.
See https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/milestone/4 for included PRs and resolved issues.

Our first release, targeting a public testnet with mainnet
spec and 16k validators.
Congrats to the Lighthouse team for this first release. To many more!
