Release v1.7.2

This release primarily addresses the syncing issue that occurred with the v1.7.0 release on the mainnet and includes a minor improvement:

• Fix the syncing issue caused by the unexpected denial of CREATE2 calls.
• Allow read-only calls to denied contracts.

Hardfork Schedule

We have postponed the mainnet release by 2 days to allow sufficient time for validators and full node operators to upgrade.

The updated schedule: Block #5527429 (Mon Dec 18 2024 17:00:00 GMT+0900)
