 ## New features
 
-* Add `EthSendRawTransactionUntrusted` RPC method to be used for the gateway when accepting `EthSendRawTransaction` and `eth_sendRawTransaction`. Applies a tighter limit on the number of messages in the queue from a single sender and applies additional restrictions on nonce increments. ([filecoin-project/lotus#12431](https://github.com/filecoin-project/lotus/pull/12431))
-* [Checkpoint TipSets finalized by F3](https://github.com/filecoin-project/lotus/pull/12460): Once a decision is made by F3, the TipSet is check-pointed in `ChainStore`. As part of this change, any missing TipSets are asynchronously synced as required by the `ChainStore` checkpointing mechanism.
-* Add an environment variable, `F3_INITIAL_POWERTABLE_CID` to allow specifying the initial power table used by F3 ([filecoin-project/lotus#12502](https://github.com/filecoin-project/lotus/pull/12502)). This may be used to help a lotus node re-sync the F3 chain when syncing from a snapshot after the F3 upgrade epoch. The precise CID to use here won't be known until the F3 is officially "live".
-* Added `StateMinerInitialPledgeForSector` RPC method and deprecated existing `StateMinerInitialPledgeCollateral` method. Since ProveCommitSectors3 and ProveReplicaUpdates3, sector onboarding no longer includes an explicit notion of "deals", and precommit messages no longer contain deal information. This makes the existing `StateMinerInitialPledgeCollateral` unable to properly calculate pledge requirements with only the precommit. `StateMinerInitialPledgeForSector` is a new simplified calculator that simply takes duration, sector size, and verified size and estimates pledge based on current network conditions. Please note that the `StateMinerInitialPledgeCollateral` method will be removed entirely in the next non-patch release. ([filecoin-project/lotus#12384](https://github.com/filecoin-project/lotus/pull/12384)
-* Implement [FIP-0081](https://github.com/filecoin-project/FIPs/blob/master/FIPS/fip-0081.md) and its migration for NV24. Initial pledge collateral will now be calculated using a 70% / 30% split between "simple" and "baseline" in the initial consensus pledge contribution to collateral calculation. The change in this calculation will begin at NV24 activation and ramp up from the current split of 100% / 0% to the eventual 70% / 30% over the course of a year so as to minimise impact on existing operations. ([filecoin-project/lotus#12526](https://github.com/filecoin-project/lotus/pull/12526)
-* Update to F3 0.4.0 ([filecoin-project/lotus#12547](https://github.com/filecoin-project/lotus/pull/12547)). This includes additional performance enhancements and bug fixes.
-* [Ticket-based F3 participation API](https://github.com/filecoin-project/lotus/pull/12531): This update introduces a new design where participation tickets grant a temporary lease, allowing storage providers to sign as part of a single GPBFT instance at any given point in time. This design ensures that tickets are checked for validity and issuer alignment, handling errors robustly in order to avoid self-equivocation during GPBFT instances.

 ## Improvements
 
+## Deps
 
-- Update `EthGetBlockByNumber` to return a pointer to ethtypes.EthBlock or nil for null rounds. ([filecoin-project/lotus#12529](https://github.com/filecoin-project/lotus/pull/12529))
-- Reduce size of embedded genesis CAR files by removing WASM actor blocks and compressing with zstd. This reduces the `lotus` binary size by approximately 10 MiB. ([filecoin-project/lotus#12439](https://github.com/filecoin-project/lotus/pull/12439))
-- Add ChainSafe operated Calibration archival node to the bootstrap list ([filecoin-project/lotus#12517](https://github.com/filecoin-project/lotus/pull/12517))
