Major Updates:

ProverSet) - Introduced the fallback mechanism, proposer will use calldata as DA when blob fee is more expensive than using calldata when enabled the

Command-Line Flags
New Flags
-
--l1.fallbackToCalldata: Optional config. If set to true, the proposer will use calldata as DA when the blob fee is more expensive than using calldata. -
--l1.revertProtection: Optional config. Enable revert protection within your ProverSet contract, this is effective only if your PBS service supports revert protection. -
--prover.sgx.batchSize: Optional config. The default size of batch sgx proofs, when it arrives, submit a batch of proof immediately, when the value is larger than 1, it means enabling the proof aggregation. -
--prover.forceBatchProvingInterval: Optional config. Time interval to prove blocks, even if the number of pending proofs does not exceed the batchSize, this flag only works when the proof aggregation is enabled.
Removed Flags
--prover.capacity: Please ensure this flag is removed from your configuration file.--extraData: Optional, if you used this flag before, it won't work after the upgrade.--prover.minEthBalance: Optional, if you used this flag before, it won't work after the upgrade.--prover.minTaikoTokenBalance: Optional, if you used this flag before, it won't work after the upgrade.--prover.blockSlippage: Optional, if you used this flag before, it won't work after the upgrade.--prover.maxProposedIn: Optional, if you used this flag before, it won't work after the upgrade.
