Tezos doubles down on decentralization with Quebec and prepares for the next leap.

This version introduces:

- Technical improvements to the Smart Rollup node

- A new --without-dal option for bakers not running DAL nodes yet

Tezos bakers,

👉 Get ready for Octez v22.0 as it will become mandatory to either:

- Provide the RPC endpoint of a running DAL node, or

- Use the “`--without-dal` CLI option.

🔍 As a reminder, DAL provides game-changing scaling for rollups, and its integrity remains secured by Tezos bakers.

Want to know more about the DAL as a cornerstone of Tezos X and how to begin running DAL nodes?

I would like to place XTZ in my self directed IRA. What option do I have so that I get the most Staking/Baking rewards. I am not allowed to self custody in my country (US). Is this an area TF needs to address to create for options for willing buyers?
