  • Same release for Chiado

Geth

• Not present

Reth

CL

Pectra

• Sepolia issue
  • Reproduced on devnet 2 and would appear on Chiado as well
  • The chain would still be progressing but with empty blocks as long as the buggy transaction stays in the mempool
  • We need to upgrade all the Chiado nodes

Research

• Testing

  • We should test important contract upgrades (namely the deposit contract) in a shadow fork. Had we not caught the issue on Sepolia, we would have instantly broken the chain with a very basic setImplementation call on the deposit contract.
