• Released v0.34.x-mev.14 for all supported Tendermint versions, which:
  • Moves all metrics provided by Skip out of the sidecar and p2p namespaces and into a new mev namespace, deleting the old sidecar namespace altogether
  • Renames relayer to sentinel in the codebase and config. This includes renaming the relayer_rpc_string and relayer_peer_string settings in config.toml to sentinel_rpc_string and sentinel_peer_string respectively.
    • We strongly recommend validators update their config.toml accordingly. Those who don’t will receive warnings in their node logs, but the node will still work as expected. In an upcoming release, we will deprecate relayer_rpc_string and relayer_peer_string altogether.
• Launched several new techniques for automatically incorporating mev-tendermint into your nodes:
  • Alternate chain client source code: A fork of chain source code with tags where mev-tendermint is already included for you (e.g. github.com/skip-mev/[email protected])
  • Docker Images: Docker images of chain clients already built with the latest, correct mev-tendermint version for the chain (e.g. ghcr.io/skip-mev/evmos:v10.0.0-mev)
  • Ansible playbooks provided by Tesselated: These playbooks (github.com/Tesssellated-io/skip-playbooks) enter a machine, clone the node source code, patch mev-tendermint into the code base, make the necesary config modifications, and clean up after themselves
