 - Scheduled Electra for Mainnet at epoch 364032 (May 7, 2025, 10:05:11am UTC)
 - Scheduled Electra for Gnosis at epoch 1337856 (April 30, 2025, 14:03:40 UTC)
 - Third party library updates.
+- Added `--p2p-static-peers-url` option to read static peers from a URL or file
 
 ### Bug Fixes
  - It is no longer possible to set both `--checkpoint-sync-url` and `--initial-state`.
