Isthmus Sepolia

This is the Isthmus release for the Sepolia Superchain. It schedules the activation of the Isthmus fork on Thu Apr 17 16:00:00 UTC 2025 (unix timestamp 1744905600).
The following Sepolia chains have the Isthmus upgrade scheduled at this timestamp: base, creator-chain-testnet, ethernity, ink, metal, mode, op, soneium-minato, unichain, zora, lisk. It is mandatory to upgrade nodes for those chains before Apr 17.

🤝 The corresponding mandatory op-node release is v1.13.0.

Chain operators also need to upgrade their batchers to op-batcher/v1.12.0 before activating Isthmus on their chains.

Transaction Pool Fixes (#558 #567)

The transaction pool got fixed to properly handle rollup cost (L1 Costs and Operator Fees (Isthmus only)) accounting. This was a longstanding bug that may sometimes have cause transactions to get rejected from the pool even thought the sender had enough balance, or the other way around where transactions could get accepted into the pool but then never get included because the sender's balance was too low.

L1 Pectra Readiness

❗ All node operators must upgrade to this release by the time their chain's L1 activates Pectra.
❗ If you run a full node, don't directly upgrade to this release, but start up once with version v1.101411.8. See its release notes for more details. Archival nodes don't need to follow this upgrade path.

Corresponding op-node release: v1.11.0

This release prepares the OP Stack to handle L1 chains activating Pectra. It includes all changes from the go-ethereum upstream release 1.14.11 and a subset of changes from the 1.15.0 release, all commits on master up to f0e8a3e fix README.md (ethereum/go-ethereum#31076). In particular, support for the new SetCode transaction type 4 is included.

The superchain-registry bindings are also updated to pull in new chain configurations. It is not included as a Go module any more, but instead bundled inside the repo since this release. Downstream dependencies like the Optimism monorepo also use the bundled configurations of op-geth going forward.

Full Changelog: v1.101411.5...v1.101500.0

This release contains a fix to the upstream journaling code (b79c44a) to ensure no critical state is lost when upgrading full nodes and the journal is thrown away due to a journal format update. Any full node operator who intends to upgrade their v1.101411.x op-geth node to v1.101500.0 should first restart their node once with this release. When you run this release and shut it down again, search the shutdown logs for a message

Persisting dirty state to disk

and its buffer_layers argument. It should be lower than 128. If that's the case, you can safely go on to upgrade to v1.101500.0.

As steps:

• You're running v1.101411.x
• Start up v1.101411.8 once, let it run for a while, shut down.
• Check shutdown logs for Persisting dirty state to disk message, check that buffer_layers argument is <128
• You're good to upgrade to v1.101500.0

The background is that updating the upstream geth dependencies between v1.101411.x and v1.101500.0, there were two journal format updates in the underlying geth versions from v1.14.11 to v1.15.0. This causes the journal do be dropped at startup of the new release v1.101500.0. A full node should be able to recover from this, but we suspect a bug in geth (ethereum/go-ethereum#31131) means that more than 128 layers are part of the journal, so when it's thrown away at startup, the node may be missing critical state and needs to heal its state.

Full Changelog: v1.101411.6...v1.101411.8

❗ All node operators are strongly recommended to upgrade to this release. It contains an urgent security fix (CVE-2025-24883). This fix is the only difference to the prior release v1.101411.5.

Also upgrade your L1 go-ethereum nodes to v1.14.13, which contains the same fix.

✨🔴 Holocene Mainnet Superchain Release

This release contains the Holocene activation timestamp for the Mainnet Superchain, on

• Thu 09 Jan 2025 18:00:01 UTC
• unix timestamp 1736445601

The corresponding op-node release can be found here.

OP Mainnet Approval

The OP Mainnet Holocene activation is still subject to approval by the governance process on Optimism Upgrade Proposal #11. In the unlike event of a veto by Dec 25, we will publish a new release with the OP Mainnet Holocene activation disabled. The Holocene activation can also be disabled for this release by setting the override flag --override.holocene (or the corresponding env var) to a far-future timestamp, e.g. --override.holocene 2736445601.

Database Rewind panic fix (#446)

This release also contains a fix that again enables op-geth to properly rewind its database in case of a missed Holocene activation and subsequent configuration fix. Without this fix, before attempting to rewind the database to one block before the activation block, a panic would occur:

panic: invalid eip-1559 params in extradata

If you see this after correcting a Holocene timestamp, upgrading to this release should help.
