CELESTIA-NODE v0.30.1-mocha — Mocha upgrade

Dear partners and node operators,

We are pleased to announce a new version of celestia-node today. Please upgrade as soon as possible to benefit from the latest fixes and improvements.

Celestia-node:

This release adds support for celestia-app v8 and is safe to run before the migration. Once the v8 activation height takes place, upgrading to this version is required.

This patch fixes broken Mocha bootstrapper nodes that were causing P2P connectivity issues.

Key Highlights:

TLS Support for JSON-RPC — Users are encouraged to enable TLS in their RPC clients to secure connections to endpoints.
Export Prometheus Metrics to OpenTelemetry — All telemetry, including libp2p metrics, is now exported via OpenTelemetry. A separate Prometheus instance is no longer required to collect these metrics.
Broken Mocha bootstrappers have been removed to improve peer discovery reliability.

Thank you,

Celestia Foundation
