Obol urges immediate Charon upgrade after CA key compromise

Charon v1.11.2 updates Go certificate checks and distrusts specific roots following the eMudhra certificate authority incident Obol Network wants its mainnet operators to stop what they’re doing and update. The project shipped Charon v1.11.2 on October 21, 2026, an urgent patch tied to a compromise of intermediate certificate authority (CA) certificates linked to the eMudhra incident. The stakes are not small. Obol’s mainnet cluster balances totaled 422,862 ETH in its latest daily snapshot, and that capital runs through the very client being patched. The release centers on certificate validation.
