Changelog
Changelog for Node Dev
ℹ️ These changes are relevant to: Those who build around the client side code. Alternative client builders, SMOLDOT, those who consume RPCs. These are people who are oblivious to the runtime changes. They only care about the meta-protocol, not the protocol itself.
[#7866]: Make litep2p the default backend in Kusama
This PR makes the litep2p backend the default network backend in Kusama, but also for system chains.
We performed a gradual rollout in Kusama by asking validators to manually switch to litep2p.
The rollout went smoothly, with 250 validators running litep2p without issues. This PR represents the next step in testing the backend at scale.
Changelog for Node Operator
ℹ️ These changes are relevant to: Those who don't write any code and only run code.
