Performance Improvements

  • Work will be done to improve Besu’s performance across several areas: block propagation, block product and validation, transaction pool management, and JSON RPC query response time. 

Privacy Improvements 

  • APIs to support filtering of private contract events. Onchain privacy group improvements.

Beam Sync Early Access 

  • Work will be done on adding Beam Sync support in Besu. This will allow Besu to sync to the head of a network without downloading the entire network state and then download it on an as-needed basis as it processes incoming blocks. 

[Community Request] Mining Support 

  • Work has begun to add proper mining support in Besu. While it now supports Stratum, there are a handful of transaction pool improvements missing for Besu to be a proper mining client.

Next (v1.7)

Berlin Network Upgrade

  • Support for the upcoming network upgrade on the Ethereum mainnet. 

GoQuorum Interoperability

  • Interoperability with GoQuorum across various functionality such as privacy, IBFT consensus and plugin frameworks. (This is a large task, over multiple quarters.  Some will ship in 1.7, some will ship later.)

Single Trie Data Storage Mode

  • Continuation of the work from the 1.6 release. 

TBA
