+## [v5.3.2](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/compare/v5.3.1...v5.3.2) - 2025-03-25
+
+This release introduces support for the `Hoodi` testnet.
+
+Release highlights:
+
+- Ability to run the node on the `Hoodi` tesnet. See https://blog.ethereum.org/2025/03/18/hoodi-holesky for more information about `Hoodi`.
+- A new feature that allows treat certain blocks as invalid. This is especially useful when the network is split, allowing the node to discontinue following unwanted forks.
+
+Testnet operators are required to update to this release. Without this release you will be unable to run the node on the `Hoodi` testnet.
+
+Mainnet operators are recommended to update to this release at their regular cadence.
+
+### Added
+

+- Add Hoodi testnet flag `--hoodi` to specify Hoodi testnet config and bootnodes. [[PR]](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/pull/15057)
+- block_gossip topic support to the beacon api event stream. [[PR]](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/pull/15038)
+- Added a static analyzer to discourage use of panic() in Prysm. [[PR]](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/pull/15075)
+- Add a feature flag `--blacklist-roots` to allow the node to specify blocks that will be treated as invalid. [[PR]](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/pull/15030)
+
+### Changed

+
+## [v5.3.1](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/compare/v5.3.0...v5.3.1) - 2025-03-13
+
+This release is packed with critical fixes for **Electra** and some important fixes for mainnet too. 
+
+The release highlights include:
+
+- Ensure that deleting a block from the database clears its entry in the slot->root db index. This issue was causing some operators to have a bricked database, requiring a full resync. [[PR]](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/pull/15011)
+- Updated go to go1.24.0. [[PR]](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/pull/14969)
+- Added a feature flag to sync from an arbitrary beacon block root at startup. [[PR]](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/pull/15000)
+- Updated default gas limit from 30M to 36M. Override this with `--suggested-gas-limit=` in the validator client. [[PR]](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/pull/14858)
+
+Known issues in **Electra**:
+
+- Duplicate attestations are needlessly processed. This is being addressed in [[PR]](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/pull/15034).
+
+Testnet operators are strongly encouraged to update to this release. There are many fixes and improvements from the Holesky upgrade incident.
+
+Mainnet operators are recommended to update to this release at their regular cadence. 
+
+### Added

+- Enable Scenario E2E tests with electra. [[PR]](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/pull/14946)
+- Add endpoint for getting pending deposits. [[PR]](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/pull/14941)
+- Add request hash to header for builder: executable data to block. [[PR]](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/pull/14955)
+- Log execution requests in each block. [[PR]](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/pull/14956)
+- Add endpoint for getting pending partial withdrawals. [[PR]](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/pull/14949)

+- Added deposit request testing for electra. [[PR]](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/pull/14964)
+- Added support for otel tracing transport in HTTP clients in Prysm. This allows for tracing headers to be sent with http requests such that spans between the validator and beacon chain can be connected in the tracing graph. This change does nothing without `--enable-tracing`. [[PR]](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/pull/14972)

+- Updated tracing exporter from jaeger to otelhttp. This should not be a breaking change. Jaeger supports otel format, however you may need to update your URL as the default otel-collector port is 4318.

+## [v5.3.0](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/compare/v5.2.0...v5.3.0) - 2025-02-12
+
+This release includes support for Pectra activation in the [Holesky](https://github.com/eth-clients/holesky) and [Sepolia](https://github.com/eth-clients/sepolia) testnets! The release contains many fixes for Electra that have been found in rigorous testing through devnets in the last few months.
+
+For mainnet, we have a few nice features for you to try:
+
+- [PR #14023](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/pull/14023) introduces a new file layout structure for storing blobs. Rather than storing all blob root directories in one parent directory, blob root directories are organized in subdirectories by epoch. This should vastly decrease the blob cache warmup time when Prysm is starting. Try this feature with `--blob-storage-layout=by-epoch`.
+
+Updating to this release is **required** for Holesky and Sepolia operators and it is **recommended** for mainnet users as there are a few bug fixes that apply to deneb logic.
