Operative Package (v1.15.0) Latest
Latest

We are proud to announce the Geth 1.15.0 release.

This release contains some breaking changes to the database. Downgrading to v1.14.x requires re-syncing the chain.

Prague Fork

As of this release, Geth implements the Prague fork specifications up to devnet-6.

Command changes

  • The evm command has seen lots of updates, improving its command-line interface and internals. (#30633, #30849, #30806, #30927, #30780, #30854, #31055, #30805, #30804, )
  • Geth metrics can now be enabled via the TOML config file. This used to require the --metrics flag. (#30814)
  • Similarly, you can now set the NAT traversal method (--nat flag) with the config file. (#31041)
  • The geth --trace flag is now called --go-execution-trace to avoid confusion with EVM tracing. (#30846)
  • The bootnode utility has been removed. (#30813)

RPC & Tracing

  • The live tracing Go API has been updated with new hooks and optional EVM revert tracking. See the tracing API changelog for more information. (#30441, #30786, #30830, #30784, #31007)
  • RPC method eth_estimateGas now supports block overrides like eth_call. (#30695)
  • RPC method eth_simulateV1 now advances the timestamp by 12 seconds per block. (#30981)
  • Package accounts/abi now supports unpacking Solidity error types. (#30738)
  • Package accounts/abi/bind has new functions WaitMinedHash, WaitDeployedHash. (#30079)
  • Package accounts/usbwallet was updated to support new Ledger firmware and the Ledger Flex device. (#31004)
  • In package ethclient/simulated, a bug was fixed where transactions couldn't be sent after Rollback of the simulated chain. (#31020)
  • The struct logger reports the EVM revert reason correctly again. (#31013)

Database

This release introduces a new database schema version. A downgrade to v1.14.x requires a resync.

  • The 'total difficulty' of the chain is no longer stored in the database. (#30744)
  • The ancient store employs a new strategy for avoiding fsync on each update. This change should improve block import latency on some systems. (#30392)
  • Reverse state diffs use a new encoding for future compatibility with the Verkle Tree. (#30107, #31060)
  • Internal handling of the SELFDESTRUCT operation has been simplified. This is possible since classic selfdestruct is no longer supported by the EVM after the Cancun fork. (#30752, #30802)
  • Work towards a re-implementation of the state snapshot system is ongoing. (#30643, #30650, #30654)
  • Work on the Verkle Tree integration is also progressing. (#31036, #30856, #30907, #31097)

Core Library & Networking

  • The fix for CVE-2025-24883 (recent v1.14.13 hotfix release) is also in v1.15.0 (#31100).

  • The transaction pool's notion of "locals" has been changed. This is a breaking change in some ways, and requires some explanation. Geth used to accept transactions at any fee level via RPC, storing them into the node's pool, and marking the sender as "local". When creating a new block (or the pending block), it would choose "local" transactions first. Finally, Geth tracks "local" transactions in a persistent journal file, and restores them on startup. The effect of all this is that once you had sent a transaction to Geth via RPC, it would keep prioritizing the sender account and its transactions (even ones received through p2p).

    In Geth v1.15, we are changing this model to a different one. When receiving a transaction via RPC, it is stored into the pool like any other transaction, but it is also inserted into a separate "locals tracker" that keeps reinjecting the tx into the main pool periodically. When building a block, Geth no longer prefers the txpool locals, but you can configure a set of addresses that should get priority using the --txpool.locals CLI flag. (#30559, #31127)

  • For static nodes (from configuration or RPC admin_addPeer), the node URL can contain a DNS name. Geth will now resolve these names when attempting to connect to the peer, instead of at configuration parsing time. This is useful for setting up testing networks in Docker or Kubernetes where the IP address of a node might not be known ahead of time. (#30822)

  • Geth can now use the STUN protocol to figure out its own IP. There is a built-in list of public servers, or you can specify your own. Use --nat=stun to enable. (#31064)

  • Some minor bugs in the p2p protocol implementation got fixed. (#30855, #30918)

Build

  • This release is built with Go 1.23.6 (#31130)
  • The 'toolchain' line has been removed from go.mod (#31057)
  • go-ethereum library functionality should now build and run on wasip1 (#31090)

This release covers quite a lot of time, and has many changes across the codebase. In particular; changes in tracing and account management, optimizations in database, trie and evm, and, as always bugfixes.

This release removes the personal RPC namespace. It was already previously deprecated, and has not been accessible by default for nearly two years. We also removed the --unlock command-line parameter, with a view towards removing key/account management from the geth binary.

  • Key management:
    • Remove --unlock command line flag from geth (#30737)
    • Remove personal RPC namespace (#30704)
  • Builds:
    • RISC-V docker images (#30739)
    • ppa-builds for ubuntu 24.10 (#30580)
  • Tracing:
    • invoke OnCodeChange-hook on selfdestruct (#30686, #30497)
    • improvements to flatCallTracer (#30539)
    • invoke tx-end hook in runtime helpers (#30711)
    • disableCode and disableStorage options for prestateTracer (#30648)
    • tracing of system calls (#30666)
    • Change to how chainconfig is passed to tracers (breaking change) (#30540)
    • add GetTransientState method to StateDB interface (#30531)
  • Signing:
    • improved support for EIP-712 array types (#30620)
    • non-legacy transactions support for ledger wallets (#30180)
  • Bugfixes:
    • Set basefee for AccessList based on given block, not chain tip (#30538)
    • Multiple issues in benchmarks (#30667)
    • Fix bug with resolving a payload (#30615)
  • Database optimizations
    • Run pebble in non-sync mode (#30573, #29792). This change makes quite a big difference on certain OS:es, particularly MacOSX/Darwin, where
      it has been noted that fsync is notoriously slow.
    • Use to increasing level sizes (#30602), This change makes pebble use larger files, reducing the number of files from 160K to 10K.
  • Assorted:
    • Make jwtsecretflag expand tilde
    • Work on verkle (#30672)
    • Work on EIP-7002 and EIP 7251 (#30571)

Makhaira (v1.14.11)

This is a minor release, with the primary goal of publishing new stable and latest docker images. A problem in the CI pipeline prevented the publishing of docker images. We have now resolved the problem, and hope that the v1.14.11-release will be published as usual on Docker hub.

We have now switched the way the docker images are built, and the -amd64 and -arm64-tagged versions will no longer be maintained:

  • alltools-latest-amd64, alltools-latest-arm64 -> alltools-latest
  • latest-amd64,latest-arm64 -> latest
  • v1.14.10-amd64, v1.14.10-arm64 -> v1.14.10

NOTE: If you are a docker user on stable/latest, there's a high chance that you are not using any of the last two releases. If so, you are advised to look through the release-notes of those releases respectively: v1.14.10 and v1.14.9.

Other changes since v1.14.10 include

  • Remove totalDifficulty field from RPC, in accordance with spec update, #30386
  • Fix flaw in simulated backend #30465
  • New method of building multi-platform docker images #30530
  • Ability to disable FINDNODE liveness checks in tests #30512

Geth v1.14.10 is a hotfix release to fix a blob pool regression introduced in v1.14.9. Users running the previous bad version should update ASAP. That said, there is no immediate danger to these users, just to the health of blob transaction propagation and inclusion in the network.

Beside the hotfix, this release:

  • Ships stateless witness production and verification into the engine API (#30069).
  • Use 0 global gas cap as unlimited in simulated calls too (#30474, #30496).

Aegis (v1.14.9)

This release has been nuked. It broke the blob pool, please do not use it.

This is a maintenance release, but also introduces support for the new multicall spec, which is a much anticipated feature providing a eth_simulateV1 call, that takes a list of blocks and executes them as if calling multiple eth_calls sequentially. It accepts optional state and precompile overrides, as well as transfer log events. This release also ships with improved verkle support.

Command line

  • Remove Goerli flag and config (#30289)

Pectra

Core

  • Refactorings in the internal journaling (#28880)
  • Fix a flaw in which the system halts if snapshot generation is stopped while it's not running (#30040)
  • Fix potential out-of-bound issue in mempool (#30430)
  • Add state reader abstraction (#29761)

Txpool

  • Fetch transactions from a peer in the order they were announced in order to minimize nonce gap, causing blob txs to rejected. A special rule is applied to blob transactions: they are retrieved from the network upon reception of the announcement, as blob transactions are never broadcast over the p2p network (#30125)

Networking

  • Add support for quic entry in ENR (#30283)
  • fix Write method in metered connection (#30355)
  • Enable discv5 by default (#30327)
  • Proper handling for count=0 requests (#30305)
  • Fix permissions for cloudflare deploy (#30326)
  • Dial nodes from discv5 (#30302)

RPC / tracing

  • support for eth_simulateV1, which allows for the simulation a chain of blocks or simply a processing a sequence of eth_calls in one go. It is the implementation of the latest multicall spec (#27720)
  • Add timeout to Client.Unsubscribe (#30318)
  • Add coinbase addr to js tracing context (#30231)

Misc

  • Handle ABIs with contract type parameters (#30315)
  • Support fixed-size arrays in eip-712 txs (#30175)
  • Fix txpool deadlock in --dev mode (#30264)
  • Use post-interop verkle costs (#30409, #30357)
  • Verkle witness builder (#30129)

  • evm run now allows configuring baseFeePerGas in genesis.json. (#30281)

Go API

  • core/types.Transaction.ChainID had a bug where it modified the signature for very large ChainID (>= 2^64). (#30157)

  • ethclient/simulated.Backend.AdjustTime was fixed to apply the correct time divison. (#30138)
  • accounts/abi/bind.TransactOpts now supports setting an access list for created transactions. (#30195)
  • The package p2p/simulations has been removed. (#30250)

Core

  • A snap-sync database corruption related to sync restarts is fixed in this release. (#30258)
  • eth_call storage overrides now work as originally intended: if a storage replacement object is specified in the call, previous storage values of the account are cleared. (#30185)
  • The txpool did not use the transaction's inline sender cache in some cases. (#30208)
  • The performance of EVM stack swaps was improved a bit. (#30249)

Networking

  • The downloader now takes withdrawals into account when sizing its queue. (#30276)
  • The new discovery node revalidation could hot-spin in certain rare scenarios. (#30239)
  • Configuring an external IP using --nat=extip:... could lead to invalid discovery packets being generated. (#30234)

Build

  • github.com/btcsuite/btcd/btcec has been upgraded to resolve a build error caused by upstream API changes. (#30181)
  • Previous releases will not build with Go 1.23, but this one will. (#30253)
  • This release is built with Go 1.22.6. (#30273)

Bothros (v1.14.5)

Geth v1.14.5 is a hotfix release that addresses a regression introduced in v1.14.4, which prevented the node from discovering other peers in certain networking setups (#29944). It is otherwise identical to v1.14.4.

Geth v1.14.4 in a usual maintenance release, but it does ship a 5-7% block import speed improvement. Furthermore, v1.14.4 also finally includes an Ether supply live tracer, that you can enable via --vmtrace supply. Also please note, the default value for miner tip enforcement was dropped from 1 gwei to 0.001 gwei (block producers can change this via --miner.gasprice).

Shipped features:

  • Reduce the default required minimum miner tip from 1 gwei to 0.001 gwei to cater better for network conditions (#29895).
  • Load trie nodes concurrently with trie updates, speeding up block import by 5-7% (#29519, #29768, #29919).
  • Introduce an Ether supply tracker as a live chain tracer (#29347).
  • Implement Verkle stateless gas accounting (EIP-4762) (#29338).
  • Optimise trie dirty tracking to reduce disk loads a bit (#29731).
  • Ensure the beacon chain roots system contract is deployed in dev mode (#29655).
  • Add an additional snap sync check for data validity before inserting into the database (#29485).
  • Improve the discovery protocol's node revalidation (#29572, #29864, #29836).
  • Continue working towards pathdb support in archive mode (#29530, #29924).

Shipped bugfixes:

  • Fix a gas estimation regression that caused longer runtimes (#29738).
  • Fix a potential crash in JSON logging for EVM blocktests (#29795).
  • Fix utility commands to support post-merge opcodes (#29799).
  • Fix a txpool synchronicity issue in simulated chains (#29876).
  • Fix a iteration order when using a trie node iterator (#27838).
  • Fix a TCP/UDP discovery port test in cmd/devp2p (#29879).
  • Fix IPv6 endpoint determination (#29801, #29827).
