 ## [Unreleased]
 
+### Added
+
+- Implement forced inclusion and based sequencing ([#2797](https://github.com/evstack/ev-node/pull/2797))
+  This changes requires to add a `da_epoch_forced_inclusion` field in `genesis.json` file.
+  To enable this feature, set the force inclusion namespace in the `evnode.yaml`.
+- Added `post-tx` command and force inclusion server to submit transaction directly to the DA layer. ([#2888](https://github.com/evstack/ev-node/pull/2888))
+  Additionally, modified the core package to support marking transactions as forced included transactions.
+  The execution client ought to perform basic validation on those transactions as they have skipped the execution client's mempool.
+
 ### Changed
 
 - Rename `evm-single` to `evm` and `grpc-single` to `evgrpc` for clarity. [#2839](https://github.com/evstack/ev-node/pull/2839)
 - Split cache interface in `CacheManager` and `PendingManager` and create `da` client to easy DA handling. [#2878](https://github.com/evstack/ev-node/pull/2878)
 - Improve startup da retrieval height when cache cleared or empty. [#2880](https://github.com/evstack/ev-node/pull/2880)
 
+### Removed
+
+- **BREAKING:** Removed unused and confusing metrics from sequencers and block processing, including sequencer-specific metrics (gas price, blob size, transaction status, pending blocks), channel buffer metrics, overly granular error metrics, block production categorization metrics, and sync lag metrics. Essential metrics for DA submission health, block production, and performance monitoring are retained. [#2904](https://github.com/evstack/ev-node/pull/2904)
+- **BREAKING**: Removed `core/da` package and replaced DAClient with internal implementation. The DA client is exposed as `block.FullDAClient`, `block.DAClient`, `block.DAVerifier` without leaking implementation details. [#2910](https://github.com/evstack/ev-node/pull/2910)
+
+## v1.0.0-beta.11
+
+### Improvements
+
+- Loosen syncer validation for allowing swapping sequencer and full node state [#2925](https://github.com/evstack/ev-node/pull/2925)

 - **BREAKING:** Removed `TrustedHash` configuration option and `--evnode.node.trusted_hash` flag. Sync service now automatically determines starting height from local store state ([#2838](https://github.com/evstack/ev-node/pull/2838))
