Prysm release v5.3.0 is here!
Updating to this release is required for Holesky and Sepolia operators and it is recommended for mainnet users
This release includes support for Pectra activation in the Holesky and Sepolia testnets! It also contains many fixes for Electra that have been found in rigorous testing through devnets in the last few months.
Two notable features in this release:
1. There is a new file layout structure for storing blobs. Rather than storing all blob root directories in one parent directory, blob root directories are organized in subdirectories by epoch. This should vastly decrease the blob cache warmup time when Prysm is starting.
2. A feature which allows for the beacon database to remain a constant size once it reaches enough history to cover the weak subjectivity period
