Sui devnet-v1.82.0

Release notes

Protocol

Sui Protocol Version in this release: 139

#27989: Adds protocol version 139 with the enable_forwarding_addresses flag (devnet only). When enabled, the forwarding address registry is sequenced as an implicitly read system object and may be passed as a shared input.

#28223: Protocol version 139 reduces the non-refundable storage fee from 1% to 0.01% of the storage rebate.

#27328: Under protocol version 131, random-beacon DKG that misses its timeout round now keeps running and can re-enable randomness mid-epoch if it completes, instead of disabling randomness for the whole epoch.

#28233: On mainnet, protocol version 138 reduces the non-refundable storage fee from 1% to 0.01%.

#28224: Protocol version 139 charges non-system package inputs 1% of the per-byte object read cost.

Nodes (Validators and Full nodes)

#28182: Full nodes that do not enable object or checkpoint pruning now drop executed_transaction_digests entries older than the previous epoch, bounding that table's disk and (on tidehunter) memory footprint. No action required.

#27909: Consensus consumers can opt into full-epoch replay with application acknowledgements and progress notifications. Opt-in consumers must drain commits during startup and acknowledge them after application. Existing Sui consumers require no migration.

gRPC

#27981: kv-rpc accepts an optional x-sui-consistent-read-checkpoint request header. When set, the server waits until it can serve data up to that checkpoint before answering, and returns Unavailable if it cannot within its timeout. Requests without the header are unaffected.

#28157: When enable-simulate-allowed-proposers is on, SimulateTransaction only restricts the returned transaction to allowed proposers for clients that send an x-sui-client-protocol-version header of 136 or higher.

#28257: Adds SignatureScheme::MLDSA65 = 7. ML-DSA-65 signatures and multisig members can be submitted through ExecuteTransaction and are verified by VerifySignature.

JSON-RPC

#27907: JSONRPC service is removed from the Fullnode and on startup the old DB will be removed to free up disk space.

GraphQL

#28162: Resuming a subscription with after/afterCheckpoint no longer replays checkpoints at or below the resume point when the serving replica's streamed tip lags that point.

#28158: Forwards the caller's x-sui-client-protocol-version header to fullnode gRPC requests, allowing simulation responses to respect the caller's supported protocol version.

#28176: New [limits] ledger-grpc-num-connections config (default 4) sets how many connections GraphQL opens to the ledger service.

#28257: Adds MlDsa65Signature and MlDsa65PublicKey (additive).

CLI

#28096: In sui move test, the test-only allowance::new_withdrawal_for_testing and allowance::new_sponsor_withdrawal_for_testing now take the inner Withdrawal<T> instead of a funder and amount; build it with test_scenario::withdraw_balance_from_address(funder, amount) after sending the funder a balance. test_scenario now aborts with EUnbackedWithdrawal when a transaction withdraws more from an owner than it holds, instead of clamping the balance to zero.

#28213: sui client faucet now supports Testnet as well as Devnet, using the faucets' proof-of-work API. The CLI solves a challenge before the faucet pays out, so requests take longer than before, and funds go to the recipient's address balance. With --url, pass a proof-of-work faucet's base URL, or a full /gas or /v2/gas URL for a faucet that doesn't use proof of work, such as the local one.

Rust SDK

#28257: Bumps to the sui-rust-sdk revision with ML-DSA-65 support.
