v1.3.0-beta1

Important

We are deprecating support v1.2.*, it will not support the Pascal hard fork. The current beta version is now ready for production.

How to start

Due to changes in disk format, the beta version requires a full resync, which means you need to deploy a completely new node. For more details, please refer to this: #441

Changes from Erigon2

• Optimized Initial Synchronization: No need to start from scratch; you can directly download 99% of the latest state and historical data.
• Improved Storage Efficiency: Disk usage is reduced by about 50% while maintaining better performance.
• Simplified Maintenance: Store most of data in immutable files(segments/snapshots), which will be automatically verified and downloaded as needed.

Known problems
