📢 On January 6th, many Besu Mainnet nodes experienced a halt. This was triggered by an edge case in Bonsai and was rectified in 12 hours by our team with huge support from the community and node operators. 🦾
Here is the post-mortem breakdown:

🧵The Besu team wants to make sure our users are confident in the client and it's EVM. Engineering efforts

have significantly improved the EVM performance over the past two years. Measured in MegaGasPerSecond. We are continuously improving.

Today, a MEV relay posted 9 invalid blocks that were finalized on Mainnet. All execution clients invalidated the blocks, saving us from disaster.
But MEV blocks still make up the vast majority of blocks on chain & can censor Ethereum users🚫
Enter Besu & its layered tx pool 🧵

🚨Attention Mainnet users 🚨
A recent Mainnet block triggered a bug in Besu’s state database. If you are validating with Besu, please review the latest hotfix patch notes. They have details on how to get your node up and running:

📣 Besu Release 24.3.0 is now available 🚨
Besu is Dencun Ready!!
The Dencun upgrade activates on Mainnet on March 13th! If you run a Besu node on Mainnet, you will need to update to at least version 24.1.2 to follow the chain after this date!

🏃💨 Since the Merge, the
#Besu
team has been hard at work on performance. Inside & out, we have tweaked the client from the database, to the EVM, to the transaction pool. Our focus has been on improving proof of stake rewards (& enabling more users) by reducing system req's 🧵

These numbers are unfortunately out of context. On typical staking hardware, Besu has no problem at 40 and even 60m gas in current Ethereum slot times.

📣 Besu Release 24.1.2 is now available 🚨

This is the minimum version that is required for the upcoming Ethereum Mainnet Dencun upgrade on March 13th. You must upgrade to this version (or greater) before then, or your will no longer follow the chain.

🚨 FYI 22.10.0 breaks backward compatibility. It changes the database to allow Besu to resume an interrupted snap sync. While a great feature, any prior version of Besu won't be able to open the DB. 22.10.0 is a stable release but this is a one-way upgrade without a re-sync.

It is amazing what a talented team can do in 6 months with an extensible client and our plug-in API 💪 Look out here for more info on how Linea-Besu came to be.
✨Linea Mainnet has added a new client: linea-besu

All users should upgrade immediately or manually mitigate.

Note that this may impact the behavior of your system’s logging if it relies on Lookups for message formatting.
