ethrex: v18.0.0

Note

What's new

• Sync robustness: fixes for full-sync wedges, snap-sync restart livelock, and FCU-on-unreachable-state idling
• Faster crypto and EVM: blst for BLS12-381, aws-lc-rs for P256VERIFY, and several LEVM hot-path optimizations
• Faster eth_getLogs via header-bloom skipping and bulk receipt reads

No resync is needed.

Installation and running instructions can be found in our docs
