This is a maintenance release, but also introduces support for the new multicall spec, which is a much anticipated feature providing a eth_simulateV1 call, that takes a list of blocks and executes them as if calling multiple eth_calls sequentially. It accepts optional state and precompile overrides, as well as transfer log events. This release also ships with improved verkle support.

Txpool
- Fetch transactions from a peer in the order they were announced in order to minimize nonce gap, causing blob txs to rejected. A special rule is applied to blob transactions: they are retrieved from the network upon reception of the announcement, as blob transactions are never broadcast over the p2p network (#30125)

RPC / tracing
- support for
eth_simulateV1, which allows for the simulation a chain of blocks or simply a processing a sequence of eth_calls in one go. It is the implementation of the latest multicall spec (#27720) - Add timeout to
