Optimism ships op-reth v2.5.0 with dependency security fixes and legacy command removal

  • —Removed import-op and import-receipts-op commands for legacy pre-Bedrock history
  • —rustls bumped to 0.23.45 for RUSTSEC-2026-0285 in TLS 1.3 handshakes
  • —imbl updated to 7.0.2, fixing a double-free in the transaction pool component
  • —Operators must move to the Bedrock state-bootstrap process before upgrading
Why it matters: A mandatory maintenance release for OP Stack operators: skipping it leaves unpatched dependencies and breaks the legacy import workflow.
