ethrex: v25.0.0

Warning

This release changes mempool admission defaults. Transactions now need a non-zero priority fee to be admitted (--mempool.min-tip, default 1 wei), and replacing a pooled transaction now requires a fee bump (--mempool.price-bump, default 10%; --mempool.blob-price-bump, default 100%). Set any of them to 0 to restore the previous behaviour. Building from source now requires Rust 1.93.

Note

What's new

• Native rollups (EIP-8079) in the L2 stack.
• Historical chain backfill: --history.chain optionally backfills block bodies and receipts after a snap sync, so the node can serve historical block, transaction, receipt and log queries. Off by default, and it adds substantial disk usage.
• New tracing endpoints: debug_traceCall and debug_traceBlockByHash.
• Mempool controls: a minimum priority-fee floor, replacement fee bumps, and --mempool.private to keep RPC-submitted transactions from being propagated to peers.
• Stateless-validator guest artifacts are now built and published by us — one signed ELF and verification key per zkVM, verifiable against the public key committed in the repository.
• Correctness fixes across gas estimation, log filtering and tracing; peer discovery and ENR handling improvements; and performance work in state prefetching, the interpreter dispatch loop and trie hashing.

No resync is needed.
