Arbitrum Nitro v3.11.1 Released with Docker Image and Updated Validator Flags

Offchain Labs released Nitro v3.11.1 as a Docker image on Docker Hub. The image includes default flags for WASM module roots, which validators should replicate if overriding the entrypoint. Most validators run without a split validation server and can use the image directly.

Docker container with code and network nodes

Offchain Labs has published version 3.11.1 of the Arbitrum Nitro node software. The update is available as a Docker image on Docker Hub and includes the same default configuration that the official entrypoint uses.

The image is tagged `offchainlabs/nitro-node:v3.11.1-8512b8c`. Users can pull it with `docker pull offchainlabs/nitro-node:v3.11.1-8512b8c` and run it directly, or embed it in CI/CD pipelines.

The entrypoint sets default flags that point the node to the allowed WASM module roots: `/usr/local/bin/nitro --validation.wasm.allowed-wasm-module-roots /home/user/nitro-legacy/machines,/home/user/target/machines`. If a custom entrypoint is used, these flags should be replicated to maintain the same validation behavior.

Validators that do not use a split validation server—most validators in production—should use the `offchainlabs/nitro-node` image and rely on the default flags. The split validation server is typically only required for specialized setups that separate validation logic from the main node.

The release notes are available on GitHub, and developers can review the full changelog for any additional changes. The new Docker image simplifies deployment and ensures consistency across environments.
