Ivynet 0.5 Release Notes

Updated on February 10, 2025.

Features

Expansion of the Symbiotic ecosystem: Now access all functionality previously enabled only for EigenLayer on all your Symbiotic nodes.
On-the-fly AVS integration to the backend:
- New mainnet AVSs are being added daily to Symbiotic and EigenLayer, so we've rearchitected our client/backend responsibilities flow to allow additional AVSs to be added without requiring subsequent updates on the client
Docker Event Stream Integration: Immediate discovery of newly deployed AVSs as well as immediate updates on crashed nodes.
Active Set Management: Check that every operator key is properly in or out of ALL AVS active sets across Symbiotic and EigenLayer!
Increased fluidity of scan and monitor process:
- Previously, some options in the monitor command blocked it upon first startup from being autorestarted properly by systemd. Now, all user interaction happens in the scan command, and monitor can be safely added to systemd for automation of service starting.
Docker network mode of host is now supported for metrics functionality.
- The Ivynet client builds a sidecar that grabs the active ports from the docker container in order to enable this functionality.
Many miscellaneous bugfixes and adaptations to unique docker container images and deployments

Docker: Support for Docker deployments including automatically recognized and manually added containers.
Node Coverage: All EigenLayer and Symbiotic Mainnet AVSs and majority of Holseky AVSs.
AVS Endpoint Availability: Not all AVSs expose metrics endpoints, so support may vary depending on AVS implementation.
Semantic Versioning: Not all AVSs use semantic versioning, so next-best alternatives pursued in these instances.
