v0.0.1-rc4 ​

This release supersedes v0.0.1-rc3.

Changes ​

  • No configuration changes — all setup and usage instructions remain identical to rc1
  • Multiple bug fixes and minor improvements across Docker builds, CI cleanup, and proto contracts.

New Features ​

Active Telemetry Push ​

Gateway now actively pushes metrics to external monitoring endpoint when telemetry is enabled.

Configuration:

yaml
telemetry_enable: true
telemetry_port: 48123

Behavior:

  • Gateway pushes metrics to: http://34.29.134.146:9091/
  • Happens automatically when telemetry_enable: true
  • Metrics include gateway health, peer counts, and message statistics

Example telemetry initialization:

json
{"timestamp":1758029878,"_level":"info","short_message":"initializing telemetry","commit":"rc4"}
{"timestamp":1758029878,"_level":"info","short_message":"starting push active metrics","commit":"rc4","metrics_url":"http://34.29.134.146:9091/"}

Example service statistics output:

json
{"timestamp":1758029998,"_level":"info","short_message":"service statistic","commit":"rc4","peers_libp2p":"0","peers_optp2p":"9","address":"16Uiu............","hosts":"[/ip4/172.17.0.4/tcp/33212]","topics":"0","bad_messages_to_opt":"0","bad_messages_to_cl":"0"}

Example aggregated message stats:

json
{"timestamp":1758029998,"_level":"info","short_message":"Aggregated message stats: max=64840.00, min=258.00, mean=2805.79, median=1707.00","commit":"rc4"}

Example state dump output:

json
{"timestamp":1758029998,"_level":"info","short_message":"dumping state","commit":"rc4","pkg":"optimum_p2p","cluster_id":"optimum_hoodi_v0_1","host_id":"12D3..........","peers":"9"}

Enhanced Topic Validation ​

Improved forkDigest validation for Ethereum topics:

yaml
# Valid topic format (rc4 will accept):
eth_topics_subscribe:
  - /eth2/82556a32/beacon_block/ssz_snappy

# Invalid topic format (rc4 will reject with error):
eth_topics_subscribe:
  - /eth2/invalid_fork_digest/beacon_block/ssz_snappy

Error output for invalid topics:

text
ERROR: Invalid topic format: /eth2/invalid_fork_digest/beacon_block/ssz_snappy

TEKU Integration Improvements ​

Enhanced P2P peer connection handling for TEKU consensus client:

  • Better connection retry logic for TEKU peers
  • Improved message processing for TEKU-specific protocols
  • Enhanced error reporting for TEKU connection issues

Notes ​

If you were previously running v0.0.1-rc3, you can switch to rc4 simply by updating the Docker image tag in your docker run or docker-compose configuration.
