Gravity Testnet v1.0.0

Release: gravity-testnet-v1.0.0

Full Changelog: gravity-v0.5.0...gravity-testnet-v1.0.0

Breaking Changes

System Contract Upgrade

This release introduces a complete system contract overhaul. All system contracts have been replaced with new implementations from gravity_chain_core_contracts, and are fully incompatible with the previous versions.

Key breaking changes:

• New Validator Management Contract: The validator management logic has been completely restructured. The new contract introduces separate handling for validator transactions (#229) and aligns with new ABIs (#231).
• New DKG Contract: The Distributed Key Generation (DKG) contract has been fully replaced (#240).
• New Oracle Contract: The oracle contract and validator set fetcher have been redesigned with new interfaces (#235).
• BLS Verify Precompile: A new BLS12-381 proof-of-possession verification precompile has been added for consensus public key validation during validator registration (#254).

Note: This is the first release for the Gravity Testnet. All nodes must be freshly deployed with the new system contracts — there is no backward compatibility with any previous devnet or internal versions.

ETH Hardfork Compatibility

Gravity Testnet v1.0.0 block header format is compatible up to the Ethereum Prague hardfork. All relevant EIP fields are preserved to maintain upstream reth compatibility, but features not applicable to the Gravity chain are handled as dummy/noop:

Hardfork	EIP	Field	Gravity Handling
Shanghai	EIP-4895	withdrawals_root	Always set to empty withdrawals hash (Gravity uses its own staking/withdrawal mechanism)
Cancun	EIP-4844	excess_blob_gas, blob_gas_used	Fixed to 0 (blob transactions not supported)
Cancun	EIP-4788	parent_beacon_block_root	Set to parent_id, only used to pass integrity checks
Prague	EIP-6110	requests_hash	Empty request list hash (no contract deployed at deposit_contract_address)
Prague	EIP-2935	Blockhashes system call	Noop (no contract at HISTORY_STORAGE_ADDRESS, EVM call silently skips)
Prague	EIP-4788	Beacon root system call	Noop (no contract at BEACON_ROOTS_ADDRESS, EVM call silently skips)
