Inorganic Lubricant (v1.17.6)

This is a maintenance release with a number of performance improvements to block processing and initial sync, and is recommended for all users.

A few things worth highlighting:

• The Amsterdam hardfork is scheduled on the Sepolia testnet at timestamp 1791294816 (Oct 6, 2026, 13:53:36 UTC). Sepolia node operators must upgrade before that time.
• The Holesky testnet has been removed, as the network reached end-of-life.
• Go 1.24 is no longer supported. Release binaries and Docker images are now built with Go 1.27.

Fork Implementation

• Remove the EIP-7610 implementation (#35581)
• Update EIP-2780 and EIP-8038 gas parameters (#35454, #35497)
• Update EIP-7997 deterministic factory contract (#35458)
• Update EIP-8037, repaying the outstanding gas debt first after absorbing a child frame (#35633)
• Implement parallel block execution driven by the block-level access list (#35264, #35441, #35443, #35459, #35461, #35465, #35575, #35693)
• Rename "regular gas" to "execution gas" to match EIP-8037 (#35457, #35486)

• Optimize JSON decoding of large requests such as engine_newPayload (#35518)
• Process the receipts for bloom construction and root calculation alongside execution (#35738)
• Introduce a precompile result cache shared between prefetcher, block processing and miner (#35388, #35473, #35526, #35578, #35753)
• Parallelize chain data and state writes in the post-execution commit (#35595)
• Do not seal a block if a database error occurred (#35427)
• Fix a panic in the log indexer when a reorg shortens the chain onto the rendered block (#35619)
• Honor ExecuteConfig.EnableTracer for the EVM-level tracing hooks (#35512)
• Add a metered LRU cache variant (#33719)
• Retain block-level access lists alongside bad blocks (#35423)
• Unset the block-level access list at the end of each transaction (#35498)
• Fix the blob cache initialization (#35509)
• Fix head truncation below a diverged tail group (#35551)
• Improve the blob fetcher with a few defensive operations (#35572)
• Fix deadlock when re-requesting partial receipts in eth/70 (#35537)
• Reject empty partial receipt responses in eth/70 (#35593)
• Cap the total size of blocked blob transactions in the sparse blobpool (#35367)
• Fix the Cells/GetCells RLP encoding in eth/72 (#35428)
• Cache recovered blobs in the blobpool to speed up serving pre-eth/72 peers (#35543)
• Add fork validation for transaction types in the state transition (#35588)
• Avoid announcing sparse blob txs to legacy peers (#35589)
• Add eth/71 (EIP-8159) tests (#35389)
• Fix gas tracer hooks and gas measurement (#35646)
• The eth/72 blob buffer is capped at 128 MiB total and 16 MiB per peer (#35766)
