 ### Deprecated
 
 - `/eth/v1alpha1/validator/activation/stream` grpc wait for activation stream is deprecated. [pr](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/pull/14514)
+- `--interop-genesis-time` and `--interop-num-validators` have been deprecated in the beacon node as the functionality has been removed. These flags have no effect.
 
 ### Removed
 
 - Removed finalized validator index cache, no longer needed.
+- Removed validator queue position log on key reload and wait for activation.
+- Removed outdated spectest exclusions for EIP-6110.
+- Removed support for starting a beacon node with a deterministic interop genesis state via interop flags. Alteratively, create a genesis state with prysmctl and use `--genesis-state`. This removes about 9Mb (~11%) of unnecessary code and dependencies from the final production binary.
+- Removed kzg proof check from blob reconstructor.
 
 ### Fixed
 
 - Fixed mesh size by appending `gParams.Dhi = gossipSubDhi`
 - Fix skipping partial withdrawals count.
+- wait for the async StreamEvent writer to exit before leaving the http handler, avoiding race condition panics [pr](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/pull/14557)

 ## Installation & Setup
 
 1. Install [Bazel](https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/install.html) **(Recommended)**
 2. `git clone https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm && cd prysm`
-3. `bazel build //...`

 ## Starting from Genesis
 
-Prysm supports a few ways to quickly launch a beacon node from basic configurations:
-
-- `NumValidators + GenesisTime`: Launches a beacon node by deterministically generating a state from a num-validators flag along with a genesis time **(Recommended)**
-- `SSZ Genesis`: Launches a beacon node  from a .ssz file containing a SSZ-encoded, genesis beacon state
+Prysm can be started from a built-in mainnet genesis state, or started with a provided genesis state by
+using the `--genesis-state` flag and providing a path to the genesis.ssz file.

-You can use `bazel run //tools/genesis-state-gen` to create a deterministic genesis state for interop.
+You can use `prysmctl` to create a deterministic genesis state for interop.
 
-### Usage
-
-- **--genesis-time** uint: Unix timestamp used as the genesis time in the generated genesis state (defaults to now)
-- **--num-validators** int: Number of validators to deterministically include in the generated genesis state
-- **--output-ssz** string: Output filename of the SSZ marshaling of the generated genesis state
-- **--config-name=interop** string: name of the beacon chain config to use when generating the state. ex mainnet|minimal|interop
-
-The example below creates 64 validator keys, instantiates a genesis state with those 64 validators and with genesis unix timestamp 1567542540,
-and finally writes a ssz encoded output to ~/Desktop/genesis.ssz. This file can be used to kickstart the beacon chain in the next section. When using the `--interop-*` flags, the beacon node will assume the `interop` config should be used, unless a different config is specified on the command line.
+```sh
+# Download (or create) a chain config file.
+curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/refs/heads/dev/configs/minimal.yaml -o /tmp/minimal.yaml
 
+# Run prysmctl to generate genesis with a 2 minute genesis delay and 256 validators. 
+bazel run //cmd/prysmctl --config=minimal -- \
+  testnet generate-genesis \
+  --genesis-time-delay=120 \
+  --num-validators=256 \
+  --output-ssz=/tmp/genesis.ssz \
+  --chain-config-file=/tmp/minimal.yaml
 ```
-bazel run //tools/genesis-state-gen -- --config-name interop --output-ssz ~/Desktop/genesis.ssz --num-validators 64 --genesis-time 1567542540
-```
+
+The flags are explained below:
+- `bazel run //cmd/prysmctl` is the bazel command to compile and run prysmctl.
+- `--config=minimal` is a bazel build time configuration flag to compile Prysm with minimal state constants.
+- `--` is an argument divider to tell bazel that everything after this divider should be passed as arguments to prysmctl. Without this divider, it isn't clear to bazel if the arguments are meant to be build time arguments or runtime arguments so the operation complains and fails to build without this divider.
+- `testnet` is the primary command argument for prysmctl.
+- `generate-genesis` is the subcommand to `testnet` in prysmctl.
+- `--genesis-time-delay` uint: The number of seconds in the future to define genesis. Example: a value of 60 will set the genesis time to 1 minute in the future. This should be sufficiently large enough to allow for you to start the beacon node before the genesis time. 
+- `--num-validators` int: Number of validators to deterministically include in the generated genesis state
+- `--output-ssz` string: Output filename of the SSZ marshaling of the generated genesis state
+- `--chain-config-file` string: Filepath to a chain config yaml file.
+
+Note: This guide saves items to the `/tmp/` directory which will not persist if your machine is
+restarted. Consider tweaking the arguments if persistence is needed.

-Wait a bit until your beacon chain starts, and in the other window:
+This will start the system with 256 validators. The flags used can be explained as such:
+
+- `bazel run //cmd/beacon-chain --config=minimal` builds and runs the beacon node in minimal build configuration.
+- `--` is a flag divider to distingish between bazel flags and flags that should be passed to the application. All flags and arguments after this divider are passed to the beacon chain.
+- `--minimal-config` tells the beacon node to use minimal network configuration. This is different from the compile time state configuration flag `--config=minimal` and both are required.
+- `--bootstrap-node=` disables the default bootstrap nodes. This prevents the client from attempting to peer with mainnet nodes.
+- `--datadir=/tmp/beacon-chain-minimal-devnet` sets the data directory in a temporary location. Change this to your preferred destination.
+- `--force-clear-db` will delete the beaconchain.db file without confirming with the user. This is helpful for iteratively running local devnets without changing the datadir, but less helpful for one off runs where there was no database in the data directory.
+- `--min-sync-peers=0` allows the beacon node to skip initial sync without peers. This is essential because Prysm expects at least a few peers to start start the blockchain.
+- `--genesis-state=/tmp/genesis.ssz` defines the path to the generated genesis ssz file. The beacon node will use this as the initial genesis state.
+- `--chain-config-file=/tmp/minimal.yaml` defines the path to the yaml file with the chain configuration.
+
+As soon as the beacon node has started, start the validator in the other terminal window. 
 
 ```
-bazel run //validator -- --keymanager=interop --keymanageropts='{"keys":64}'
+bazel run //cmd/validator --config=minimal -- --datadir=/tmp/validator --interopt-num-validators=256 --minimal-config --suggested-fee-recipient=0x8A04d14125D0FDCDc742F4A05C051De07232EDa4
