## v2.18.0.0 2025-11-05

*This release is optional, and recommended*

The headline feature is `MEV_BUILD_FACTOR` to abstract control over local block building, so home stakers
can control their upload bandwidth better post-Fusaka.

**Breaking changes**
- Require Ethrex `v5.0.0` or later
- Require mev boost `v1.10.0` or later
- Require Grandine `2.0.0` or later
- Require Vero `v1.3.0` or later

Changes
- Introduce `MEV_BUILD_FACTOR` to control local block building. `100` means always build remote, `1-99` are percentages
of the `builder-boost-factor` of the Validator Client, where `90` would build locally unless remote pays at least
10% better.
- `./ethd config` runs a speed test and suggests a build factor
- Prometheus retention time is configurable. Thanks @korentzari!
- Offer Anchor SSV client on mainnet during `./ethd config`
- Support MEV Boost for Anchor
- Support WS Websockets for Ethrex
- Support max peers for Ethrex
- Improve ssv node sample configuration
- Increase Grandine peer count to 200. Thanks @saulusgrigaitis!
- Erigon can now be run in distributed mode, with a CL on another server
- Suggest history expiry when disk space is low
- Remove Vero CL check before starting it. It now does this itself

Bug fixes
- `./ethd update --refresh-targets` no longer touches `PG_DOCKER_TAG`
- Explicitly restrict Lodestar to v4 when `IPV6=false`, which fixes peering
- Erigon WS port is now correctly set to the value of `EL_WS_PORT`
- Adjusted source builds for Grandine and Ethrex
- Fixed Ethrex entrypoint when `EL_MINIMAL_NODE=false`
