go-ethereum v1.17.10

This is a quick release that postpones the Amsterdam fork on the Hoodi testnet, previously scheduled for Oct 26, 2026, 17:42:48 UTC. Hoodi node operators running v1.17.9 must upgrade before then. A new date will be set in a future release; other networks are unaffected.

Snap sync now switches to snap/2 automatically once Amsterdam is active. Use --snap.v2=false or --snap.v2=true to force a protocol.

Changes

  • Cancel the Amsterdam activation on Hoodi (#36001)
  • Use snap/2 automatically once Amsterdam is active (#35989)
  • Optimize DUP/SWAP dispatch in the interpreter (#35959)

For a full rundown of the changes please consult the Geth 1.17.10 release milestone.
