I am running geth "light" mode: geth --syncmode "fast" console. I have the following problem. The highest block is always be 13773036, which is created at 3 days ago:

web3.eth.syncing
{
  currentBlock: 13125823,
  highestBlock: 13773036,
  knownStates: 0,
  pulledStates: 0,
  startingBlock: 13008895
}

While I am writing this question, the highest block on etherscan is already 13794774. https://etherscan.io/block/13794774. Why my geth doesn't get the latest highest block?

I also tried the geth in "fast" mode: geth --syncmode "fast" console. But it is still at the same highest block 13773036. Could anyone help on this issue?

Update:

It is probably reaching block 13773036 now, and it shows:

> web3.eth.syncing
false
> web3.eth.blockNumber
13773036

The current log is:

  • Check GoEthereum logs to see if the geth is working and importing new blocks. Dec 13, 2021 at 9:16
  • @MikkoOhtamaa It shows only "INFO [12-13|04:50:29.195] Looking for peers peercount=0 tried=1 static=0", and now web3.eth.syncing shows "false"

I faced exactly the same problem (last block 13773036). The solution was to update the geth to the latest version.

  • Oh yes, there was a hard fork three days ago, so any node that is not up-to-date cannot sync beyond that block. Dec 13, 2021 at 12:22

peercount=0 means that your node cannot connect to other Ethereum peer-to-peer nodes. Probably a firewall or a network issue. To make your node more robust, make sure your node is not behind NAT and has a good public IP address.
