 ### Changed
 
+- **BNB Chain**: bumped BSC Geth `v1.7.3` → `v1.7.7` for the BSC mainnet **Pasteur hardfork** (activates 2026-08-25 02:30 UTC; mandatory for all mainnet nodes before then). No blueprint CLI-flag changes are needed: the flags removed/deprecated in the Pasteur line (`--multidatabase`, `--fake-beacon*`) and the load-breaking `[Eth] EnableBAL` config.toml field are not used by the blueprint, and `config.toml` is fetched fresh from the release. Requires a fresh deploy per the replace-the-instance upgrade model.
 - **Ethereum**: bumped patch versions — Nethermind `1.39.2` → `1.39.3`, Erigon `3.5.3` → `3.5.4`, and Prysm `7.1.7` → `7.1.8`. All three are drop-in upgrades within the same release series with no blueprint CLI flag changes; configuration file names and matching `samples/` were updated accordingly.
 - **Ethereum**: bumped client versions — Geth `1.17.3` → `1.17.4`, Erigon `3.4.3` → `3.5.3`, Prysm `7.1.5` → `7.1.7`, and Besu `26.6.1` → `26.7.0`. Configuration file names and matching `samples/` were updated accordingly. (Nethermind and Teku are covered under Security above.)
 - **Ethereum**: upgraded the Reth archive configuration to Reth `1.10.2` → `2.4.1` and Lighthouse `8.1.3` → `8.2.1` (`reth-2.4.1-lighthouse-8.2.1-archive.yml`). Reth 2.x makes **Storage V2** the default; there is no in-place upgrade for an existing Reth v1 datadir, so upgrading requires deploying a new node and resyncing (consistent with the blueprint's replace-the-instance upgrade model). Reth 2.2 also enables Discv5 discovery by default. No blueprint CLI flags changed.
 - **Solana**: Agave `4.1.0-rc.1` → `4.1.2` (prerelease replaced with the stable `4.1.x` line); Frankendancer `0.912.40003` → `0.1006.40100`. The Agave `3.1.14` and `4.0.3` (default) configurations are already current and unchanged.
-- **BNB Chain**: BSC Reth `v0.0.10-beta` → `v0.1.1`. `v0.1.1` is a **mandatory** upgrade for the BSC mainnet Pasteur hardfork (activates 2026-08-25); nodes still on an older binary at activation will fork off the canonical chain. `v0.1.1` also **renamed the `--maxpeers` CLI flag to `--max-peers`**, so the `bsc-reth` run command was updated to match (the old flag now aborts startup with `INVALIDARGUMENT`). BSC Geth `v1.7.3` (default) is already current and unchanged.
+- **BNB Chain**: BSC Reth `v0.0.10-beta` → `v0.1.1`. `v0.1.1` is a **mandatory** upgrade for the BSC mainnet Pasteur hardfork (activates 2026-08-25); nodes still on an older binary at activation will fork off the canonical chain. `v0.1.1` also **renamed the `--maxpeers` CLI flag to `--max-peers`**, so the `bsc-reth` run command was updated to match (the old flag now aborts startup with `INVALIDARGUMENT`). BSC Geth is bumped to `v1.7.7` separately for the Pasteur hardfork (see above).
 - **Base**: base/node `v1.1.1` → `v1.2.0` (`base-reth-v1.2.0-full.yml`, via `base_node_tag`). `v1.2.0` is a required Base upgrade that moves base-reth-node to **Storage V2**; new deployments download a V2 snapshot automatically, and because the Base blueprint uses ephemeral instance-store every deploy is a fresh sync.
 - **Bitcoin**: Bitcoin Core `v31.0` → `v31.1`.
