This release contains various libraries updates and is recommended for all users.

Highlights

Upcoming Breaking Changes

  • This is the last Web3Signer release to use Java 17. Web3Signer will start mandating Java 21 for build and runtime after
    this release. The Web3Signer docker image will also use Java 21, however, binary distributions (.tar.gz/.zip) will
    require Java 21 to be available on the host machine.
  • This is the last Web3Signer release to use the "filecoin" mode. The "filecoin" mode will be removed in a future release.

Features Added

  • Added endpoint /api/v1/eth2/ext/sign/:identifier which is enabled using cli option --Xsigning-ext-enabled=true.
    This endpoint allows signing of additional data not covered by the remoting API specs. #982

This is a required update for Mainnet users containing the configuration for the Deneb upgrade on March 13th. This update is required for Gnosis Deneb network upgrade on March 11th. For all other networks, this update is optional.

Ethereum Mainnet configuration with Deneb fork scheduled for epoch 269568 (March 13, 2024, 13:55:35 UTC)
Gnosis configuration with Deneb fork scheduled for epoch 889856 (March 11, 2024, 18:30:20 UTC)

Highlights

Upcoming Breaking Changes

  • --Xworker-pool-size cli option will be removed in a future release. This option has been replaced with --vertx-worker-pool-size

Features Added

  • Add Deneb configuration for Mainnet #971
  • Improve Key Manager API import operation to use parallel processing instead of serial processing. Note, if you import a large number of keys while running as a signer, then this may degrade the signing performance for the duration of the import process. It is recommended to import large numbers of keys in batches. #968

Bugs fixed

  • Ensure that Web3Signer stops the http server when a sigterm is received

23.8.0

EthSigner Feature Consolidation & Deprecation Notice

The Web3Signer <> EthSigner Feature consolidation is nearing completion! With the release of this latest version, Web3Signer now mirrors the existing functionality of EthSigner. It can now be used for remotely signing Ethereum transactions alongside the existing Ethereum validator signing features for Proof of Stake. Check out the Web3Signer documentation for more information.

This is also a notice that EthSigner is officially deprecated in favor of Web3Signer. In an effort to streamline our remote signing offerings and efforts, Web3Signer will continue to be supported with existing EthSigner features. You can expect future patches for bug fixes and continued public and private chain support. If you have questions, reach us on our Discord.

File Coin Deprecation Notice

As of version 23.8.0, File Coin is considered deprecated in Web3Signer. This is part of a broader move to simplify the codebase and increase development velocity. We encourage the community to maintain the code via a fork or PRs if it is needed for your use-case, or to use an older version of Web3Signer.

Breaking Changes

  • Use Java 17 for build and runtime. Remove Java 11 variant of docker image. zip/tar.gz distributions will require Java 17 or above to run Web3Signer.
  • Eth2 Azure command line option --azure-secrets-tags is now deprecated and is replaced with --azure-tags. The --azure-secrets-tags option will be removed in a future release.

Features Added

  • Add support for SECP256K1 remote signing using AWS Key Management Service. #501
  • Azure bulk mode support for loading multiline (\n delimited, up to 200) keys per secret.
  • Hashicorp connection properties can now override http protocol to HTTP/1.1 from the default of HTTP/2. #817
  • Add --key-config-path as preferred alias to --key-store-path #826
  • Add eth_signTransaction RPC method under the eth1 subcommand #822
  • Add eth_sendTransaction RPC method under the eth1 subcommand #835
  • Add EIP-1559 support for eth1 public transactions for eth_sendTransaction and eth_signTransaction #836
  • Add Azure bulk loading for secp256k1 keys in eth1 mode #850
  • Added Gnosis configuration for the 🦉 CAPELLA 🦉 network fork due at epoch 648704, UTC Tue 01/08/2023, 11:34:20 #865
  • Java 17 for build and runtime. #870
  • Update internal teku library to 23.8.0 #876
  • Add support for Lukso network --network=lukso

Bugs fixed

As part of our ongoing commitment to deliver the best remote signing solutions, we are announcing a change in our product offerings.

We have decided to deprecate our EthSigner product to focus our efforts on enhancing Web3Signer, our newly comprehensive remote signing solution. This is rooted in our strategy to streamline our offerings and focus on a single, robust product that will provide functionality for both transaction and Ethereum validator signing. We hope this makes it applicable to all your use-cases like public Ethereum signing, staking infrastructure offerings, and in private network contexts.

Rest assured, we are not dropping existing EthSigner functionality. We are updating Web3Signer to incorporate the functionalities of EthSigner alongside everything else in Web3Signer. We will ensure a smooth transition by maintaining EthSigner with necessary patches for an additional six months. We hope this provides ample time for any necessary migration to Web3Signer.

We have begun adding EthSigner functionality to Web3Signer. This is a work in progress and not complete.

Features Added

  • Optional Azure bulk loading tags support using cli option --azure-secrets-tags.
  • Support Prometheus Push Gateway Metrics #796
  • Cache Genesis Validators Root (GVR) in-memory on first database lookup. This would eliminate further database lookups
    for GVR during sign operations and improve their performance. #600
  • Add RPC proxy support to execution client under the eth1 subcommand #775
  • Add eth_accounts RPC method under the eth1 subcommand #784

Bugs Fixed

  • Upgrade jackson and vertx to upgrade snakeyaml to 2.0 to fix CVE-2022-1471
  • Fixed handling of very large number (30,000+) of signing metadata files with Hashicorp connection by introducing
    experimental flag to disable parallel processing --Xmetadata-files-parallel-processing-enabled.
    #794
  • Fixed startup error with web3signer where openAPI spec cannot be loaded #772
  • Removed unmaintained and out-of-date helm chart #802
