Description

After the Holesky Fusaka update, transactions containing blob sidecars are now being rejected with the following error:

unexpected eip-4844 sidecar after osaka

This occurs because blobs must now be sent according to the new EIP-7594 specification. However, Alloy does not yet support sending blobs in this new format. To work around this limitation, we have switched to using Ethrex for transaction submission.

Notes

  • The Rust version in CI has been updated to 1.87.0, as Ethrex depends on features introduced up to that version.
  • The beacon node must be run as a supernode (at least in Lighthouse; see here) to properly retrieve blob data.

How to Test

Run the proof aggregator on a chain that includes the Fusaka update and verify that it continues to operate correctly.
