+## [v7.1.0](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/compare/v7.0.0...v7.1.0) - 2025-12-10
+
+This release includes several key features/fixes. If you are running v7.0.0 then you should update to v7.0.1 or later and remove the flag `--disable-last-epoch-targets`. 
+
+Release highlights:
+
+- Backfill is now supported in Fulu. Backfill from checkpoint sync now supports data columns. Run with `--enable-backfill` when using checkpoint sync.
+- A new node configuration to custody enough data columns to reconstruct blobs. Use flag `--semi-supernode` to custody at least 50% of the data columns.
+- Critical fixes in attestation processing.
+
+A post mortem doc with full details on the mainnet attestation processing issue from December 4th is expected in the coming days. 
+

+
+- add fulu support to light client processing. [[PR]](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/pull/15995)

+- Implement Gloas fork support in consensus-types/blocks with factory methods, getters, setters, and proto handling. [[PR]](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/pull/15618)
+- Integrate state-diff into `HasState()`. [[PR]](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/pull/16045)

+- Data column backfill. [[PR]](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/pull/15580)

+- Use explicit slot component timing configs. [[PR]](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/pull/15999)

+
+## [v7.0.1](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/compare/v7.0.0...v7.0.1) - 2025-12-08
+
+This patch release contains 4 cherry-picked changes to address the mainnet attestation processing issue from 2025-12-04. Operators are encouraged to update to this release as soon as practical. As of this release, the feature flag `--disable-last-epoch-targets` has been deprecated and can be safely removed from your node configuration. 
+
+A post mortem doc with full details is expected to be published later this week.

+
+## [v7.0.0](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/compare/v6.1.4...v7.0.0) - 2025-11-10
+
+This is our initial mainnet release for the Ethereum mainnet Fulu fork on December 3rd, 2025. All operators MUST update to v7.0.0 or later release prior to the fulu fork epoch `411392`. See the [Ethereum Foundation blog post](https://blog.ethereum.org/2025/11/06/fusaka-mainnet-announcement) for more information on Fulu.
+
+Other than the mainnet fulu fork schedule, there are a few callouts in this release:
+- `by-epoch` blob storage format is the default for new installations. Users that haven't migrated will see a warning to migrate to the new format. Existing deployments may set `--blob-storage-layout=by-epoch` to perform the migration.
+- Several deprecated flags have been deleted! Please review the "removed" section of this changelog carefully. If you are referencing a removed flag, Prysm will not start! All of these flags had no effect for at least one release.
+- Several deprecated API endpoints have been deleted. Please review the "removed" section of this changelog carefully. 
+- Backfill is not supported in Fulu. This is expected to be fixed in the next release and should be delivered prior to the mainnet activation fork.
+- The builder default gas limit is raised from `45000000` (45 MGas) to `60000000` (60 MGas).
+- Several bug fixes and improvements.
