Moon Rock Market
Pre-release
Release
v1.1.0-beta.3 -- Moon Rock Market -- is a minor release that focuses on expanded Altair test coverage, along with major improvements and refinements to the Merge and Sharding specs.
Massive shout-out to @ralexstokes for creating a framework for massively increasing block transition test coverage (#2567) 🐳💪
The Merge has been rebased on both London (#2533) and Altair specifications (#2530), and is now equipped with a first iteration of the p2p spec (#2531). With these core elements in place, the consensus Merge specs are ready for their next wave of client development.
Sharding saw a major redesign in its data market through the separation of block producers and builders. This shifts the economic responsibility of network data availability into the hands of well-incentivized, specialized actors called "builders". This aids in the democratization of shard-data MEV, reduces the bandwidth of data-tx gossip, and eases networking assumptions/requirements for validators. Nice work on this @protolambda 🙌

P.S. This release also included the Great Renaming (#2555) so there is a lot of noise in the diff. Our apologies for the one-time inconvenience 🙏
