Breaking Changes

Unified Hardfork Framework

This release introduces a unified hardfork dispatch framework based on the new HardforkUpgrades trait, replacing the ad-hoc per-hardfork glue established in v1.1.1 / v1.2.0. All four Gravity-native hardforks (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta) are now expressed as HardforkUpgrades implementations and dispatched through a single apply_hardfork_upgrades() entry point in parallel_execute.rs (#307, #309, #312, #318).

Key changes:

• GravityHardfork enum (Alpha/Beta/Gamma/Delta) added to chainspec, exposed via new EthChainSpec trait methods ({alpha,beta,gamma,delta}_transitions_at_block() and is_{alpha,beta,gamma,delta}_active_at_block_number()).
• Genesis JSON now parses alphaBlock, betaBlock, gammaBlock, deltaBlock from extra_fields into ChainSpec.gravity_hardforks.
• HardforkUpgrades trait standardizes the interface for system_upgrades(), extra_upgrades(), storage_patches(), and the new batch_storage_patches() (a (&[Address], B256, U256) form needed for Gamma's ReentrancyGuard initialization across all StakePool instances).
• Dispatch ordering: Alpha/Beta are applied before balance increments; Gamma/Delta are applied after.
• Test framework: a new generic hardfork_test_helpers module (verify_bytecodes_at_block(), verify_bytecodes_old_before_block(), verify_storage_patches()) is added so each hardfork can be validated with the same harness — see HARDFORK_TESTING.md.

Delta Hardfork

This release ships the Delta hardfork together with the corresponding gravity_chain_core_contracts v1.3.0 release. Delta upgrades 4 system contracts (StakingConfig, ValidatorManagement, Governance, NativeOracle) and applies the storage migration required by the removal of minimumProposalStake from StakingConfig (packed _initialized bit at slot 1, clearing of stale slots 2/3/6/7). Activation is configured via genesis config.deltaBlock.

What's Changed

Features

• feat: add hardfork testing framework (trait + generic helpers) by @ByteYue in #307
• feat(chainspec): add GravityHardfork enum + EthChainSpec hardfork methods by @ByteYue in #309
• feat(hardfork): add batch_storage_patches to HardforkUpgrades trait by @ByteYue in #318

Bug Fixes

• fix(view): replace block_hash with block_id in block_hash_ref by @AshinGau in #302
• fix: Use BTreeMap for Deterministic Event Ordering Causes Consensus Split by @ByteYue in #304
  • Replaces a non-deterministic HashMap event-iteration order that could produce divergent block outputs across nodes and trigger a consensus split.
• fix: Fix coacker audit by @nekomoto911 in #311
• fix(relayer): persist state to disk before updating in-memory by @ByteYue in #314
  • OracleRelayerManager::update_and_save_state previously advanced the in-memory nonce before the disk write, so a crash mid-save() would restart from stale on-disk state and re-deliver already-processed events. The state is now cloned, persisted first, and only committed to live in-memory state after the disk write succeeds.
• fix(unwind): commit view and set prune distance for execution unwind by @AshinGau in #313
  • Enforces MINIMUM_PRUNING_DISTANCE in get_next_block_range() so the pruner retains enough historical blocks for unwind.
  • Inserts commit_view() calls between write/read steps during unwind because RocksDB's WriteBatch (unlike MDBX) does not provide immediate read-after-write visibility, so explicit flushes are required before state root recalculation and state removal.
  • Also moves nested_hash to reth-trie-db for reuse and skips init_genesis on already-initialized databases.

Security Audit Fixes

• gravity_chain_core_contracts: gravity-testnet-v1.0.0...gravity-testnet-v1.2.0

Breaking Changes

System Transaction Execution Overhaul

This release fundamentally changes how system transactions (mint, BLS PoP, metadata, validator) are executed. Previously, system transactions ran against a temporary in-memory database separate from the executor's own state, requiring manual state bridging that introduced state overwrite bugs and bypassed EVM revert semantics. Now all system transactions execute directly on the executor's internal state through a unified transact_system_txn code path, identical to user-transaction execution (#288).

Key breaking changes:

• Unified execution path: The special-cased increment_balances / commit_changes methods, the PendingMints accumulator, and the temporary database have all been removed.
• Mint precompile rewired: mint_precompile now modifies the EVM journal directly via EvmInternals::load_account, participating correctly in checkpoint/revert semantics.
• Executor trait changes: ParallelExecutor and Executor traits gain a new transact_system_txn(evm_env, precompiles, tx_env) method.

Gamma Hardfork

This release introduces the Gamma hardfork, extending the Gravity-native hardfork framework established in v1.1.1 (which shipped Alpha and Beta). Gamma adds new hardfork infrastructure and integration test support, configured via genesis config at a specified block number (#292).

Oracle Nonce Type Change

The nonce type for PollResult and OracleSourceState has been changed from u64 to u128 (#278). This is a breaking change for any code that interacts with the oracle relayer state.

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)
