What's new

Full changelog
  • Network

    The maxperf build profile is gone

    Base removed maxperf from the workspace, leaving release as the single production profile. Publish Release now builds the base image under PROFILE=release, and a local docker compose --build defaults to it too.

  • Site

    Corrected the Just build recipes across the docs

    Build work lives in a Just module, so the commands are just build release and just build contracts rather than the hyphenated forms the pages carried. Bare just build only prints the recipe list.

  • Site

    Documented requester RPC exposure for standalone proving

    The prover service RPC has no authentication, and reaching it is enough to spend your deposited PROVE. New guidance covers the loopback publish, the Docker network options that protect it, and the one daemon setting that defeats them.

  • Network

    Standalone prover stack now requires Docker Engine 28.3.3

    Older daemons can leak a port published on 127.0.0.1 to the local network. Startup now checks the daemon version and refuses to reuse a Docker network whose options would allow direct routing to the container.

  • Network

    base/node repository is being archived

    Operator releases now ship from base/base as of v1.3.0. The base/node repo goes read-only on September 4, 2026 and keeps only pre-v1.3.0 tags. Node docs updated, plus new NODE_TAG image pinning.
