Release v7.2.1 is now live. This release focuses on Gloas builder configuration in the validator client. The release also adds the Sepolia GAS_LIMIT_SCHEDULE, so validators default to a 200M gas limit from the Sepolia Gloas fork (epoch 353024, October 6, 2026, 13:53:36 UTC). This needs no action. To use a different gas limit, set gas_limit in your proposer settings, set it through the keymanager API, or use --suggested-gas-limit. Partial data columns (cell-level PeerDAS dissemination) are on by default. --disable-partial-data-columns turns them off. --partial-data-columns is deprecated and has no effect. [PR].

Release v7.2.0 is now live. This release schedules the Gloas fork on the Sepolia testnet at epoch 353024 (October 6, 2026, 13:53:36 UTC). Sepolia operators are required to update to v7.2.0 before the fork, and must also run an execution client that supports the corresponding Amsterdam fork on Sepolia. More on Sepolia gas limit: the Sepolia Gloas configuration published upstream on September 24 adds an EIP-8261 GAS_LIMIT_SCHEDULE entry that raises the network gas limit to 200M at the fork. That entry landed after this release was cut and is not included in v7.2.0, so validators on this release default to a 60M gas limit in their Gloas proposer preferences. Note that --suggested-gas-limit only applies to pre-Gloas mev-boost registrations and has no effect after the fork. A follow-up release will include the schedule.

Prysm v7.1.8 is now live. This is a highly recommended patch and operators are encouraged to upgrade as soon as possible. v7.1.8 introduces multiple bug fixes and optimizations, including earlier attestations and improved propagation for better validator performance and network health. You can find the v7.1.8 release here:

Release v7.1.7 is now live. This patch release focuses on Beacon API interoperability, validator-client resilience, and a broad round of Gloas (ePBS) correctness and stability improvements. Operators should update at their convenience. You can find the v7.1.7 release here:

Release v7.1.6 is now live! This patch release contains targeted gossip-validation, sync, and operator-facing improvements, alongside continued Gloas (ePBS), PeerDAS/data-column, builder API, and performance work from the release candidate. Operators are encouraged to update to this release as soon as practical. You can find the v7.1.6 release here:

Release v7.1.5 is now live! This release is dominated by Gloas (ePBS) fork development, alongside broad performance and memory optimizations, additional Beacon API event and endpoint support, and a round of gossip-validation and concurrency hardening. Operators can update at their convenience. You can find the v7.1.5 release here:

Release v7.1.4 is now live. This is a maintenance release with significant progress on the Gloas implementation alongside important production fixes and performance improvements. - Major memory savings: validator state size cut nearly in half, reducing mainnet RAM usage by ~300–450 MB. - Fixed CPU spikes caused by sync committee duty calculations. - Fixed newly activated validators missing their first attestation. - Fixed incorrect -monitor-indices reporting. - Fixed a crash related to pruned checkpoint blocks. Improved experimental state diff support (-enable-state-diff). Operators are encouraged to update at their convenience. You can find the v7.1.4 release here:

Release v7.1.3 is now live! This release adds bug fixes, logging and better node fallback. In addition this release brings a security update to go-ethereum v1.16.8, extensive Gloas (next fork) groundwork, a major logging infrastructure overhaul, and numerous performance optimizations across the beacon chain. Operators are encouraged to update at their convenience. You can find the v7.1.3 release here:

Release v7.1.2 is now live! Happy new year! This patch release is very small. The main improvement is better management of pending attestation aggregation via PR 16153 You can find the v7.1.2 release here:

Release v7.1.1 is now live. Includes fixed potential deadlock scenario in data column batch verification, improved processing and metrics for cells and proofs. We are aware of an issue where Prysm struggles to sync from an out of sync state. We will have another release before the end of the year to address this issue. Our postmortem document from the December 4th mainnet issue has been published on our documentation site. You can find the v7.1.1 release here:
