v0.6.1

Upgrade notes

• No contract upgrade and no batch (protocol-level) format change — existing node configurations keep working without changes.
• Optional new settings: --l1.beaconrpc now accepts multiple beacon endpoints as a fallback list; the Layer1 validator metrics port is configurable.
• Companion geth release: morph-v2.2.5 — all Go modules and the submodule pin this released commit.

Highlights

Sturdier derivation pipeline — blob sidecars can be fetched from a list of fallback beacon RPCs with per-blob content verification, batch decompression moves to the Morph DA codec decoder, and RLP transaction allocations are bounded against malformed data. Full nodes keep syncing on root verification failures while Layer1 validators stay fail-closed.

Token price oracle multi-source fallback — Chainlink / Pyth / Binance / OKX / Bitget feeds with priority-based fallback for ERC20 gas pricing.

Faster block production — block-production intervals are configurable and the default empty-block interval drops from 5s to 2s (with tendermint v0.3.9).
