Full Changelog: v1.5.2..v1.6.0

Notable features

This release ships with opt-in support for the QUIC transport protocol. QUIC aims to improve performance in large, distant clusters. This may become a default feature in future versions once proven stable and well-incorporated across our stack.

To enable this feature, make the following additions:

• Add https://4.relay.obol.dev/ to your obol relay list, e.g. CHARON_P2P_RELAYS:-https://0.relay.obol.tech,https://2.relay.obol.dev,https://1.relay.obol.tech,https://4.relay.obol.dev/
• Add CHARON_FEATURESET_ENABLE=quic as an env variable
• Add CHARON_P2P_QUIC_ADDRESS=0.0.0.0:3610 as an env variable
• Allow UDP traffic on your port 3610. If you're using our docker-compose examples, your ports section should be like

  ports:
    - ${CHARON_PORT_P2P_TCP:-3610}:3610/tcp       # P2P TCP libp2p
    - ${CHARON_PORT_P2P_QUIC:-3610}:3610/udp       # P2P QUIC libp2p
  

This release also introduces new ways of modifying existing cluster which are still in alpha version and are not recommended for Mainnet usage:

• addvalidator command which adds N validators to an existing cluster. This requires a new deposit for newly added validators.
• node_merge.sh script which helps combining validator keys and configuration for single pair of nodes by merging two nodes' folders.
• cluster_merge.sh script which helps expand an existing cluster with new validators by merging two existing clusters, given the same operators set and cluster configuration.

Feature

• Launchpad link per network (#3886)
• charon --split-existing-keys support multiple formats (#3872)
• cluster-lock merge script (#3847)
• Support deleting partial exits (#3838)
• Add add-validators command (#3857)
• Replace go-eth2-client with in-house solution (#3862)
• Put QUIC behind a feature flag (#3814)
• Add zipped flag to DKG (#3903)
• Add hostname verification (#3901)

Bug

• Invalid UUIDs are generated (#3887)
• Memory leak under attestation_inclusion feature flag (#3867)
• Increased duty timeout margin (#3800)
• Set content type in alpha test (#3808)
• Fixed vapi monitoring code (#3812)
• Fix attestation committee index (#3820)
• Remove fulu from fork schedule (#3822)
• Add missing encoding types (#3853)
• Fix flaky test (#3888)

Refactor

• Added sse_head_delay buckets (#3795)
• Changed reorg gauge to historgram (#3796)
• Changed sse-head-delay buckets (#3816)
• Replace HasPrefix+TrimPrefix with CutPrefix (#3824)
• Use maps.Copy for cleaner map handling (#3856)
• Improve fallback beacon node logic and metric (#3870)
• Batch duplicate logs (#3835)
• combine default input should align with create cluster default output. (#3815)

Compatibility Matrix

This release of Charon is backwards compatible with Charon v1.0.*, v1.1.*, v1.2.0, v1.3.*, v1.4.*, v1.5.* Though only v1.3.* and newer are Pectra-ready.

The below matrix details a combination of beacon node (consensus layer) + validator clients and their corresponding versions the DV Labs team have tested with this Charon release. More validator and consensus client will be added to this list as they are supported in our automated testing framework.

Legend

• ✅: All duties succeed in testing
• 🟡: All duties succeed in testing, except non-penalised aggregation duties
• 🟠: Duties may fail for this combination
• 🔴: One or more duties fails consistently

This release also introduces new ways of modifying existing cluster which are still in alpha version and are not recommended for Mainnet usage:

• addvalidator command which adds N validators to an existing cluster. This requires a new deposit for newly added validators.
• node_merge.sh script which helps combining validator keys and configuration for single pair of nodes by merging two nodes' folders.
• cluster_merge.sh script which helps expand an existing cluster with new validators by merging two existing clusters, given the same operators set and cluster configuration.

Notable features

This release ships with opt-in support for the QUIC transport protocol. QUIC aims to improve performance in large, distant clusters. This may become a default feature in future versions once proven stable and well-incorporated across our stack.

To enable this feature, make the following additions:

• Add https://4.relay.obol.dev/ to your obol relay list, e.g. CHARON_P2P_RELAYS:-https://0.relay.obol.tech,https://2.relay.obol.dev,https://1.relay.obol.tech,https://4.relay.obol.dev/
• Add CHARON_FEATURESET_ENABLE=quic as an env variable
• Add CHARON_P2P_QUIC_ADDRESS=0.0.0.0:3610 as an env variable
• Allow UDP traffic on your port 3610. If you're using our docker-compose examples, your ports section should be like

  ports:
    - ${CHARON_PORT_P2P_TCP:-3610}:3610/tcp       # P2P TCP libp2p
    - ${CHARON_PORT_P2P_QUIC:-3610}:3610/udp       # P2P QUIC libp2p

Inability of a dependency used by Charon to read arrays from beacon node's spec, caused Teku beacon nodes to fail, as they include now Fulu-specific fields in their spec.

v1.5.0

v1.5.0 - 2025-07-01

This is Charon's v1.5.0 release. Feedback is welcome and appreciated, please use github issues or discord if you have trouble with this release.

Notable user-facing features shipping in this release include:

• A breaking change to the default behaviour for attestation and aggregation on-chain inclusion checking. Previously Charon checked for proposal, attestation and aggregation duties on-chain after the fact, but post-electra we've observed this to be an expensive operation that might unduly hurt the cluster's performance. As a result, the default behaviour for Charon now is to check for on chain inclusion for proposals only. Users can opt-in to continue monitoring on-chain inclusion for attestations and aggregations by adding attestation_inclusion to the --feature-set-enable flag. Monitoring will now consider attestations successful if Charon receives a successful response from their beacon node during broadcast. However a successful broadcast of an attestation (or aggregation) does not guarantee that the attestation will be included by an aggregator (or proposer) later in the slot.
• Beacon node call timings and retries were revisited and reduced in some cases, in order to lower the load Charon puts on a beacon node.
• A new optional feature flag proposal_timeout has been introduced. This flag increases the first round timeout for proposals from 1.0s to 1.5s. This has been added because it is common for MEV-relays to delay bid responses in an effort to maximise rewards, leaving too little time to achieve consensus in a one second window. If a cluster wants to leverage this feature, all nodes should apply the flag. Caution should be used with this flag, as it leaves a very short window for a second leader to achieve consensus on an alternative header, if the first leader is offline. It is recommended to only use this feature if encouraged by the core team.
• Charon now supports TLS/HTTPS connections from validator clients, consult the documentation on the feature here.
• Charon now listens to the server sent events endpoint of the beacon nodes for head events and re-org events and exposes them to monitoring. This is useful for identifying slow beacon nodes to optimise performance and duty scheduling.
• Charon is now compatible with the Grandine consensus layer client and Vouch validator client. Both are part of our simulation testing environment.
• Obol now provides compiled executables for Charon as part of its release process. You can find them attached to this release as artifacts.
• The new default targetGasLimit for newly created clusters is 60 million gas. Override it with --target-gas-limit if needed.
• The default exit epoch for charon exit sign is changed to the Capella mainnet fork epoch. This means you should not need to ever change it for a mainnet cluster.
