Obol Urges Immediate Charon Upgrade After CA Key Compromise

Obol urged an immediate upgrade to Charon after a certificate authority (CA) key compromise, with 422,862 Ether (ETH) across its mainnet clusters in the latest daily snapshot. The request puts a specific software action alongside the security incident: move to the patched Charon version.

The patch changes certificate checks in Go. The upgrade recommendation and the patch's certificate-check change form the concrete software response described with the key compromise. Obol framed the action as immediate, placing the Charon upgrade at the center of the notice.

The 422,862 ETH figure is an aggregate total for Obol's mainnet clusters in the latest daily snapshot. It records the balance across the clusters and provides a separate measure of the ETH held in those deployments.

The key details are the immediate upgrade request, the certificate checks changed by the patch, and the combined ETH balance. The snapshot puts that balance at 422,862 ETH, while the security response is a Charon upgrade tied to certificate checks in Go.
