v4.0.7
Welcome to the v4.0.7 release of Prysm! This recommended release contains many essential optimizations since v4.0.6.
Highlights:
- The validator proposal time for slot 0 has been reduced by 800ms. Writeup and PR
- The attestation aggregation time has been reduced by 400ms—roughly 75% with all subnets subscribed. Flag
--aggregate-parallel. PR. This is only useful if running more than a dozen validator keys. The more subnets your node subscribe to, the more useful. - The usage of fork choice lock has been reduced and optimized, significantly reducing block processing time. This results in a higher proposal and attest rate. PR
- The block proposal path has been optimized with more efficient copies and a better pruning algorithm for pending deposits. PR and PR
- Validator Registration cache is enabled by default, this affects users who have used webui along with mevboost. Please review PR for details.
Note: We remind our users that there are two versions of the cryptographic library BLST, one is "portable" and less performant, and another is "non-portable" or "modern" and more performant. Most users would want to use the second one. You can set the environment variable USE_PRYSM_MODERN=true when using prysm.sh. The released docker images are using the non-portable version by default.
