We have a new small Smartnode update today: v1.7.3 (https://github.com/rocket-pool/smartnode-install/releases/tag/v1.7.3). This is a low priority update for most users that includes a few small fixes, but is high priority for Lighthouse users that haven't already updated to the latest client version manually (v3.4.0). As usual, read the full patch notes above for all the details but here are the key changes:

Lighthouse — an Ethereum consensus client (written in Rust);

Daily Goerli: A whole lot more detail on the lighthouse db corruption issue I posted about previously. There's a warning that's been quite frequent on my erigon nodes for a while that doesn't seem to have any impact on its performance. I asked if it should be downgraded to INFO here.

According to lighthouse team, the root cause was beacon node waited too long before requesting the payload header. All details here : https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/4312

Update LH to 4.0.2-rc.0 More info here https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/releases/tag/v4.0.2-rc.0

Which is not true... full nodes are consuming a lot of CPU now... hot-fix was released, but didn't solve the problem completely: https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/releases/tag/v4.0.2-rc.0 ... more hot-fixes will be needed
