Mainnet P2P bootstrap peer 34.32.193.134:9003 unreachable (connection refused) #85

Description

@KubilayJackson

Summary

The published Ink mainnet op-node P2P bootstrap endpoints in envs/ink-mainnet/op-node.env appear to be down. Nodes that rely on them cannot join the gossip mesh and therefore cannot follow the unsafe tip when using --syncmode=execution-layer.

Published config (current main)

OP_NODE_P2P_BOOTNODES="enr:-Iu4QCqTQZVBnbPWXcdUxcakGoCCzCFr5vVzDfNTOr-Pi3KaOJZMXlnqTR9r9p4EemXS8fS59EdQaX8qrkyE01nvsNcBgmlkgnY0gmlwhCIgwYaJc2VjcDI1NmsxoQMW3w0F1AibYelKqJUKaie5RuKc7S9sPfWvH4lSJw4Fo4N0Y3CCIyuDdWRwgiMs"
OP_NODE_P2P_STATIC="/ip4/34.32.193.134/tcp/9003/p2p/16Uiu2HAmECGb1vmBKhgxVHzX2aYkPcmV8CZjpPxrNkRiFA1wa3CN"

The bootnode ENR resolves to the same host (34.32.193.134) as OP_NODE_P2P_STATIC.

Evidence (checked 2026-08-04)

From multiple networks:

Check Result
ICMP to 34.32.193.134 Host responds (ping OK)
TCP 34.32.193.134:9003 connection refused
TCP 9222 / 30303 / 8545 on same host also refused
op-node log repeated error dialing static peerdial tcp4 34.32.193.134:9003: connect: connection refused
Local op_node_default_p2p_peer_count stays 0
Local unsafe payloads 0

Example op-node warning:

msg="error dialing static peer" peer=16Uiu2HAmECGb1vmBKhgxVHzX2aYkPcmV8CZjpPxrNkRiFA1wa3CN
err="failed to dial ... dial tcp4 34.32.193.134:9003: connect: connection refused"

These values have been unchanged in git history since the initial mainnet env was added (Dec 2024).

Our own node listens correctly on TCP/UDP 9003 and is reachable from the public internet; the failure is specifically outbound to the published Ink bootstrap peer.

Impact

  • Fresh starts / restarts cannot bootstrap P2P discovery.
  • With OP_NODE_SYNCMODE=execution-layer, the node stops receiving unsafe payloads and falls behind the public unsafe tip.
  • Falling back to consensus-layer still works for L1-derived safe head, but lags public RPCs that follow unsafe head.

Related: #84 (request for trusted peers; no reply yet).

Request

Please either:

  1. Restore the mainnet static/bootnode service on 34.32.193.134:9003, or
  2. Publish updated OP_NODE_P2P_BOOTNODES / OP_NODE_P2P_STATIC values for ink-mainnet in envs/ink-mainnet/op-node.env.

Happy to re-test connectivity as soon as new endpoints are published.
