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.
[#8973]: Add polkadot_parachain_peer_connectivity metric
Adds polkadot_parachain_peer_connectivity
histogram metric to better understand connectivity patterns.
Changelog for Runtime Dev
ℹ️ These changes are relevant to: All of those who rely on the runtime. A parachain team that is using a pallet. A DApp that is using a pallet. These are people who care about the protocol (WASM, not the meta-protocol (client).)
[#9325]: Fix pallet-im-online benchmarking for runtimes with MaxKeys < 1000
Fixes benchmarking for pallet-im-online when runtime configuration has MaxKeys < 1000.
Previously, the benchmark code used a hardcoded constant MAX_KEYS = 1000 which would cause benchmark failures for runtimes configured with fewer maximum keys. This change updates the benchmark to dynamically use the MaxKeys value from the pallet's Config trait.
[#9139]: Expose more constants for pallet-xcm
Exposes more constants (UniversalLocation, MaxLockers, MaxRemoteLockConsumers), similar as AdvertisedXcmVersion
.
[#9137]: Pallet XCM - transfer_assets pre-ahm patch
Pallet XCM's transfer_assets
extrinsic now returns an error when it determines that a reserve transfer of DOT|KSM|WND|PAS has to be done.
This is a safeguard in preparation for the Asset Hub Migration (AHM), where the reserve of DOT|KSM|WND|PAS will change from the Relay Chain to Asset Hub.
After the migration, another patch will remove this error case and use the correct reserve.
The pallet uses the UniversalLocation
configuration to figure out the correct asset being transferred. It's very important to have that configuration correct.
[#9179]: Fix subsume_assets incorrectly merging two AssetsInHolding
Fix subsume_assets incorrectly merging two AssetsInHolding instances under certain conditions,
which caused asset values to be overridden rather than summed.
[#8694]: Fix pallet_migrations benchmark when FailedMigrationHandler emits events
When FailedMigrationHandler emits events, the UpgradeFailed
event is not the last one, so assert_last_event
fails. Fixed by checking that the UpgradeFailed
event is emitted, even if it is not the last one.
[#8179]: Do not make pallet-identity benchmarks signature-dependent
- Includes a
benchmark_helper
configuration function inpallet-identity
to handle signing operations. - Abstracts away the explicit link with SR25519 schema in the benchmarks, allowing chains with a different one to be able to run them and calculate the weights.
- Adds a default implementation that leaves the code equivalent.
- The requirement is for the
AccountId
type of the runtime to implement theDecode
trait
Changelog for Runtime User
ℹ️ These changes are relevant to: Anyone using the runtime. This can be a token holder or a dev writing a front end for a chain.

[#8533]: fatxpool
: add fallback for ready at light
Add fallback for ready_at_light
for the case of not finding a best view that can be used to return a set of ready transactions. Optimised as well how the best view is searched.
[#8948]: make sure dispute_coordinator/approval-voting parallel can receive priority messages
#8834, changed relay_chain_selection to send priority messages, but did not configured the subsystems to tell they can receive priority messages, with can_receive_priority_messages
flag.
If can_receive_priority_messages
is not specified orchestra falls back when sending a priority message to the normal queue,
so this resulted in the messages not being processed ahead of the others in the queue.
Fix this configuration mistake and add a test to make sure priority messages are consumed ahead of normal ones by the subsystems.
[#7867]: benchmark/storage Make read/write benchmarks more accurate
Improve the benchmark accuracy of read/write costs by making sure for both reads and write we compute the amortized cost of a single key operation, by adding a batch functionality to make sure the cost of common operations like root computation is spread across multiple keys. Additionally, also add a pov-recorder flag, so that we are able to replicate the same environment as parachains do.
[#8973]: Add polkadot_parachain_peer_connectivity metric
Adds polkadot_parachain_peer_connectivity
histogram metric to better understand connectivity patterns.
[#8443]: Stabilize V16 metadata
Metadata V16 is stabilized. V16 metadata exposes information about Pallet View Functions and V5 transactions,
and can be obtained, where applicable, by using the Runtime APIs Metadata_metadata_at_version(16)
.
[#8923]: fatxpool
: fix: remove invalid txs from the dropped stream controller
While testing mortal transaction I encountered exactly the same problem as in #8490.
This PR should fix the problem.
fixes: #8490
[#8072]: RFC-0008: Store parachain bootnodes in the relay chain DHT
Implement RFC-0008 "DHT bootnodes".
With this mechanism, every parachain node is eligible to act as a bootnode. If its peer ID is close to the parachain key for the current relay chain epoch, it becomes discoverable by other parachain nodes via the relay chain DHT. This removes the need to specify bootnodes in the parachain chainspec, eliminating a single point of failure and simplifying things for parachain operators.
The mechanism is enabled by default. The embedded DHT bootnode can be disabled using the --no-dht-bootnode
flag, and discovery of such nodes can be disabled with the --no-dht-bootnode-discovery
flag.
[#8606]: Use hashbrown hashmap/hashset in validation context
Discovered while profiling #6131 (comment) with the benchmark #8069 that when running in validation a big chunk of the time is spent inserting and retrieving data from the BTreeMap/BTreeSet.
By switching to hashbrown HashMap/HashSet in validation TrieCache and TrieRecorder and the memory-db paritytech/trie#221 read costs improve with around ~40% and write with about ~20%
[#9050]: dispute-coordinator: handle race with offchain disabling
Fixes a potential race with off-chain disabling when we learned about disablement after importing a dispute from that validator.
[#8594]: omni-node: fix benchmark pallet
to work with --runtime
polkadot-omni-node benchmark pallet
can use one of --runtime
or --chain
now, like frame-omni-bencher
does.
[#7955]: Add ApprovedPeer UMP signal
Add a new ApprovedPeer UMP signal variant for specifying a peerid that should be credited for authoring and supplying the candidate.
Will be used by the new collator protocol implementation for promoting the reputation of collators. Candidates should still not emit any UMP signals until the CandidateReceiptV2 node feature is enabled.
[#8370]: fix unneeded collator connection issue
This PR fixes an issue where collators continued attempting to connect to validators even after their core assignment was removed, leading to unnecessary connections and log spam An unneeded collator connected
.
The fix ensures collators only connect to validators if there are cores assigned to the parachain.
[#8314]: Add RPCs in the statement store to get the statements and not just the statement data.
In statement-store, statements can contain a proof with the signature of the statement, this proof is useful to assert that the statement comes from the expected account. This proof also signs for all the statements fields, those can also be useful information for the receiver.
This PR adds broadcasts_stmt
, posted_stmt
, and posted_clear_stmt
RPCs to get the full statements from the statement store.
[#8688]: bound trusted local cache to shared limits sizes
Since there is no point in letting local cache grow past the shared cache limits, bound it to those limits.
[#7556]: Add trie cache warmup
Warm up the Trie cache based on a CLI flag to enhance the performance of smart contracts on AssetHub by reducing storage access time.
[#8837]: Cache locally controlled validator indices in dispute-coordinator
dispute-coordinator
uses keystore.key_pair()
to obtain the set of locally controlled validator IDs. This operation happens on each import and is expensive because it involves key generation from a seed phrase. This patch lazily determines the set of locally controlled validator IDs and caches the result for each session.
[#8833]: Check artifact integrity before execution
In case of a corrupted artifact, we can find it out before execution and re-prepare the artifact.
[#9102]: polkadot-omni-node
: pass timestamp inherent data for block import
This should allow aura runtimes to check timestamp inherent data when syncing/importing blocks
that include timestamp inherent data.
Runtime developers can check timestamp inherent data while using polkadot-omni-node-lib
/polkadot-omni-node
/polkadot-parachain
binaries.
This change is backwards compatible and doesn't require runtimes to check the timestamp inherent, but they are able to do it now if needed.
[#8134]: separate validation and collation protocols
This PR completes the removal of validation protocol versions 1 and 2 by separating validation from collation. Previously, a shared Versioned
enum prevented full removal.
With this change, outdated validation messages are now eliminated.
[#8831]: dispute-coordinator: increase lru_observed_blocks_capacity
Under increase load with finality lagging behind there is a risk for blocks to arrive late or out of sequence in that case we will end up scrapping from the received block un till last finalized block and then process all the dispute in-between.
This couple with other inefficiencies like #8823 will increase unnecessarily the load on dispute-coordinator.
Decided to make this super large to err on the cautious side, the Hash size is only 32 bytes, so this will make the LRU grow up to 65k, which I don't think is a significant increase.
[#9094]: bitfield_distribution: fix subsystem clogged at begining of a session
handle_peer_view_change
gets called on NewGossipTopology with the existing view of the peer to cover for the case when the topology might arrive late, but in that case in the view will contain old blocks from previous session, so since the X/Y neighbour change because of the topology change you end up sending a lot of messages for blocks before the session changed.
Fix it by checking the send message only for relay chains that are in the same session as the current topology.
[#8332]: parachain informant
Adds a new cumulus-relay-chain-streams
crate to make it easier to reuse relay chain streams.
[#8839]: net/discovery: File persistence for AddrCache
Persisting the AddrCache periodically (every 10 minutes) and on worker shutdown. Read AddrCache from file upon launch of worker.
AddrCache is saved as authority_discovery_addr_cache.json in the
folder configured by net_config_path of NetworkConfiguration.
This reduces the time it takes for a node to reconnect to peers after restart.
[#9264]: gossip-support: make low connectivity message an error
All is not well when a validator is not properly connected, e.g: of things that might happen:
- Finality might be slightly delay because validator will be no-show because they can't retrieve PoVs to validate approval work: #8915.
- When they author blocks they won't back things because gossiping of backing statements happen using the grid topology:, e.g blocks authored by validators with a low number of peers:

[#8832]: increase session index cache
A 10 session index cache is not enough when you run under intense pressure and finality is lagg since you will end requesting the session index for blocks older than that. So let's make this cache larger to achieve its purpose even under intense load when it actually matters more to be faster.
The session_index_cache keeps a Hash and a u32, so that's about 36 bytes per entry, with this increase it can grow up to 65k which is not that big in my book.

[#8669]: cumulus-aura: Improve equivocation checks
Instead of just checking for the slot, we also take the block number and the relay parent into account (as we actually allow to build multiple blocks per slot). Then this pr also ensures that we are still able to import blocks from availability recovery. This ensures that a network doesn't get stuck on a storm of equivocations. The next step after this pull request would be to implement on chain slashing for equivocations and probably disabling of the offending author.
[#8461]: Use litep2p as the default network backend
This PR makes the litep2p backend the default backend.
Litep2p is a lightweight alternative to libp2p, that is designed to be more efficient and easier to use. At the same time, litep2p brings performance improvements and reduces the CPU usage significantly.
Libp2p is the old network backend, that may still be used for compatibility reasons until the whole ecosystem is migrated to litep2p.

[#8630]: Broker: Introduce min price and adjust renewals to lower market
pallet-broker now provides an additional AdaptPrice
implementation:
MinimumPrice
. This price adapter works exactly the same as the CenterTargetPrice
adapter, except that it can be configured with a
minimum price. If set, it will never drop the returned end_price
(nor the target_price
) below that minimum.
Apart from having an adapter to ensure a minimum price, the behaviour of renewals was also adjusted: Renewals are now either bumped by renewal bump or set to the end_price
of the current sale - whatever number is higher.
This ensures some market coupling of renewal prices, while still maintaining some predictability.

[#8650]: litep2p/peerset: Reject non-reserved peers in the reserved-only mode
This PR rejects non-reserved peers in the reserved-only mode of the litep2p notification peerset.
Previously, litep2p ignored completely the reserved-only state while accepting inbound connections. However, it handled it properly during the slot allocation phase.
- the main changes are in the
report_inbound_substream
function, which now propagated aRejected
response to litep2p on the reserved-only state- in response, litep2p should never open an inbound substream after receiving the rejected response
- the state of peers is not advanced while in
Disconnected
orBackoff
states - the opening state is moved to
Cancelled
- for consistency purposes (and fuzzing purposes), the
report_substream_opened
is more robustly handling theDisconnected
state- while at it have replaced a panic with
debug_assert
and an instant reject
- while at it have replaced a panic with
Testing Done
- started 2 nodes in Kusama and Polkadot with litep2p
- added the

[#8669]: cumulus-aura: Improve equivocation checks
Instead of just checking for the slot, we also take the block number and the relay parent into account (as we actually allow to build multiple blocks per slot). Then this pr also ensures that we are still able to import blocks from availability recovery. This ensures that a network doesn't get stuck on a storm of equivocations. The next step after this pull request would be to implement on chain slashing for equivocations and probably disabling of the offending author.

[#7785]: pallet scheduler: fix weight and add safety checks
Changes:
- Add runtime integrity test for scheduler pallet to ensure that lookups use sensible weights
- Check all passed storage names in the omni bencher to be known by FRAME metadata
- Trim storage names in omni bencher to fix V1 bench syntax bug
- Fix V1 bench syntax storage name sanitization for specific Rust versions
I re-ran the benchmarks with the omni-bencher modifications and it did not change the proof size. I reverted the commit afterwards to reduce the noise for reviewers.

[#8461]: Use litep2p as the default network backend
This PR makes the litep2p backend the default backend.
Litep2p is a lightweight alternative to libp2p, that is designed to be more efficient and easier to use. At the same time, litep2p brings performance improvements and reduces the CPU usage significantly.
Libp2p is the old network backend, that may still be used for compatibility reasons until the whole ecosystem is migrated to litep2p.

[#8630]: Broker: Introduce min price and adjust renewals to lower market
pallet-broker now provides an additional AdaptPrice
implementation:
MinimumPrice
. This price adapter works exactly the same as the CenterTargetPrice
adapter, except that it can be configured with a
minimum price. If set, it will never drop the returned end_price
(nor thetarget_price
) below that minimum.
Apart from having an adapter to ensure a minimum price, the behaviour of renewals was also adjusted: Renewals are now either bumped by renewal bump or set to the end_price
of the current sale - whatever number is higher.
This ensures some market coupling of renewal prices, while still maintaining some predictability.
[#8473]: Snowbridge: Remove asset location check
Since the TokenIdOf conversion is XCM version-agnostic and we store the TokenId as the key in storage, checking whether the key exists is sufficient to verify if the token is registered.
There is no need to verify the asset location.

[#8650]: litep2p/peerset: Reject non-reserved peers in the reserved-only mode
This PR rejects non-reserved peers in the reserved-only mode of the litep2p notification peerset.
Previously, litep2p ignored completely the reserved-only state while accepting inbound connections. However, it handled it properly during the slot allocation phase.
- the main changes are in the
report_inbound_substream
function, which now propagated aRejected
response to litep2p on the reserved-only state- in response, litep2p should never open an inbound substream after receiving the rejected response
- the state of peers is not advanced while in
Disconnected
orBackoff
states - the opening state is moved to
Cancelled
- for consistency purposes (and fuzzing purposes), the
report_substream_opened
is more robustly handling theDisconnected
state- while at it have replaced a panic with
debug_assert
and an instant reject
- while at it have replaced a panic with
Testing Done
- started 2 nodes in Kusama and Polkadot with litep2p
- added the
reserved_only_rejects_non_reserved_peers
test to ensure litep2p handles peers properly from different states

[#8510]: statement-distribution: skip leafs where we can't fetch the state
Fix statement-distribution to not exit early when it cannot process one of the hashes in handle_active_leaves.
[#8514]: Allow block-announce to exist in the background of minimal relay chains
This PR fixes an issue with the collators that would not get advertised.
The issue relates to the /block-announces/1 protocol for the litep2p network backends.
Previously, the notification service handle was dropped, causing the litep2p backend to terminate the long-running task that handled the /block-announces/1 protocol.
This represents a subtle difference between libp2p and litep2p, where libp2p would continue to operate the protocol under the hood even without the respective handle.

We were only charging storage deposit based on value length, but not based on key length. Since we allow for variable length keys, this has to be done. Needs to be back ported since changing this in an already deployed system will be nasty.

[#8265]: [FRAME] Omni bencher fixes
Changes:
- Add
--pallets
option to selectively run multiple pallets. In the past, we only had--pallet
to run a single one. - Add
--exclude-extrinsics [pallet::extrinsic]
to add (Pallet, Extrinsic) tuples that should be excluded. - Fix storage overlay reversion before the benchmark runs.
- Test root hash for V2 benchmarks to be deterministic
Changed DB reps to 1 for speedup since it should not be needed to run multiple times. (TODO test)
Checked that it fixes the Kusama benchmark issue when patching to a fixed stable2412 fork:
(before)
The following 5 benchmarks failed:
- pallet_nomination_pools::apply_slash_fail
- pallet_nomination_pools::migrate_delegation
- pallet_nomination_pools::pool_migrate
- pallet_offences::report_offence_babe
- pallet_offences::report_offence_grandpa
Error: Input("5 benchmarks failed")
(after)
The following 1 benchmarks failed:
- pallet_nomination_pools::apply_slash_fail
Error: Input("1 benchmarks failed")
This one needs fixing but is not breaking the other ones any more.

In order to account for the possible risk of accidental/non-malicious double voting, keep the current formula for double voting proof.
[#8306]: Fix faulty pre-upgrade migration check in pallet-session
Fixes a pre-upgrade migration check for v1 of pallet-session.
[#8240]: Snowbridge V2 Audit Fixes
This PR addresses audit findings from the Snowbridge V2 review. It includes a minor change to when the nonce is set
in the Inbound Queue V2. In the Outbound Queue V2 pallet, it fixes an issue where the reward address was not used to
accumulate rewards and improves the generation of message IDs. It also resolves non-sequential call indexes in the
System V2 pallet and improves documentation across the affected pallets.

Performance Improvements
This release addresses an issue where notification protocols failed to exit on handle drop, lowering CPU usage in scenarios like minimal-relay-chains from 7% to 0.1%.
Robustness Improvements
- Kademlia:
- Optimized address store by sorting addresses based on dialing score, bounding memory consumption and improving efficiency.
- Limited
FIND_NODE
responses to the replication factor, reducing data stored in the routing table. - Address store improvements enhance robustness against routing table alterations.
- Identify Codec:
- Enhanced message decoding to manage malformed or unexpected messages gracefully.
- Bitswap:
- Introduced a write timeout for sending frames, preventing protocol hangs or delays.
Testing and Reliability
- Fuzzing Harness: Added a fuzzing harness by SRLabs to uncover and resolve potential issues, improving code robustness. Thanks to @R9295 for the contribution!
- Testing Enhancements: Improved notification state machine testing. Thanks to Dominique (@Imod7) for the contribution!
Dependency Management
- Updated all dependencies for stable feature flags (default and "websocket") to their latest versions.
- Reorganized dependencies under specific feature flags, shrinking the default feature set and avoiding exposure of outdated dependencies from experimental features.
