v1.9.0

Summary

1.9.0 (2025-01-20) is a pre-release for the Hekla testnet, with support for the upcoming protocol fork, as well as optimizations and bug fixes.

Major Updates:

• Supported revert protection to protect proposers' profit. (Need your PBS service support revert protection and upgrade the ProverSet)
• Introduced the fallback mechanism, proposer will use calldata as DA when blob fee is more expensive than using calldata when enabled the l1.fallbackToCalldata.
• Reduced the provingWindow.
• Introduced proof aggregation, provers can accumulate a certain number of proofs and submit them in batches to save gas costs.
• Breaking change in ABI encoding due to contract upgrade ⚠️ .

Command-Line Flags

New Flags

• --l1.fallbackToCalldata: Optional config. If set to true, the proposer will use calldata as DA when the blob fee is more expensive than using calldata.

• --l1.revertProtection: Optional config. Enable revert protection within your ProverSet contract, this is effective only if your PBS service supports revert protection.

• --prover.sgx.batchSize: Optional config. The default size of batch sgx proofs, when it arrives, submit a batch of proof immediately, when the value is larger than 1, it means enabling the proof aggregation.

• --prover.forceBatchProvingInterval: Optional config. Time interval to prove blocks, even if the number of pending proofs does not exceed the batchSize, this flag only works when the proof aggregation is enabled.

Removed Flags

• --prover.capacity: Please ensure this flag is removed from your configuration file.
• --extraData: Optional, if you used this flag before, it won't work after the upgrade.
• --prover.minEthBalance: Optional, if you used this flag before, it won't work after the upgrade.
• --prover.minTaikoTokenBalance: Optional, if you used this flag before, it won't work after the upgrade.
• --prover.blockSlippage: Optional, if you used this flag before, it won't work after the upgrade.
• --prover.maxProposedIn: Optional, if you used this flag before, it won't work after the upgrade.

v1.6.0

Summary

v1.6.0 is a pre-release for the Hekla testnet, with support for the upcoming Ontake protocol fork, as well as optimizations and bug fixes.

⚠️ Mandatory Update ⚠️

Timing

There are two crucial timestamps to be aware of:

• Protocol upgrade timestamp: Sep 20th, 2:00 AM UTC (10:00 AM Singapore) — This is the earliest time we'll perform the contract upgrade on Hekla. You must start using the new software before this time.
• Ontake fork timestamp: Estimated to occur on Sep 24th, 2024, at fork block height 840,512. Due to Taiko's variable block time, the exact moment can't be precisely predicted.

Software releases

The following software versions must be used in conjunction:

• taiko-geth: v1.8.0
• taiko-client: v0.36.0
• simple-taiko-node: v1.6.0
• taiko protocol: v1.9.0 — If using a ProverSet for block proposal and proving, update its implementation to the new version in this release.

Failure to upgrade may result in disconnection from the Taiko network or other operational issues. You can revert to the previous version before the fork occurs after upgrading to this pre-release, as there are no database schema changes.

This pre-release is intended for the Hekla testnet only and shall not be used for Taiko mainnet.
