Optimism released op-node version 1.19.8 on October 1, advising sequencer operators to update to reduce delays when Ethereum's latest block is used as the origin for an OP Stack chain. The update pre-fetches Ethereum layer 1 blocks and receipts to improve performance and warns if early fetching fails. It also rejects invalid hardfork schedules in custom rollup configurations, requiring fixes before upgrades. Sepolia OP Stack operators must use at least version 1.19.5 before the October 6 Glamsterdam hardfork, but version 1.19.8 is not mandatory for all operators.
