+# v2.1.2 Release Note
+
+## Summary
+**v2.1.2 is a major maintenance release to improve IoTeX network stability and
+robustness, and expanding API support.**
+
+All nodes are **strongly recommended** to upgrade to this release, to make sure
+the node is update-to-date with latest release and ensure smooth block producing.
+
+**Note:**
+There's no change to the mainnet config.yaml and genesis.yaml. You only need to
+restart your node with the new v2.1.2 image.
+
+This release introduces key enhancements to improve p2p network robustness, expand
+Ethereum API compatibility, and refine API service readiness for better system
+reliability.
+
+## Key Features and Enhancements
+
+1. p2p robustness enhancement: add a rate-limit mechanism at p2p netowrk level.
+This helps to regulate network traffic effectively, mitigate potential congestion,
+and enhance security by reducing the risk of malicious attacks.
+2. implementation of 2 new Ethereum-Compatible APIs:
+`eth_blobBaseFee`: returns the base fee per gas for blob transactions (EIP-4844).
+`eth_feeHistory`: provides historical gas fee data for improved fee estimation.
+3. API service readiness refinement: during the start-up, the API will wait all
+necessary internal components are fully initialized and ready before start accepting
+requests, reducing potential API error after service restart
+
+## Upgrade Priority
+v2.1.2 comes with an important functional upgrade, all nodes are **strongly recommended**
+to upgrade in order to keep update-to-date with latest release and ensure smooth block
+producing.
+
+| Node type  | Action       |
+| ---------- | ------------ |
+| Delegate   | Recommended  |
+| Fullnode   | Recommended  |
+| API node   | Recommended  |
