 ## Unreleased
 
+* Add `sf.firehose.v2.EndpointInfo/Info` service on Firehose and `sf.substreams.rpc.v2.EndpointInfo/Info` to Substreams endpoints. This involves the following new flags:
+  - `advertise-chain-name` Canonical name of the chain according to https://thegraph.com/docs/en/developing/supported-networks/ (required, unless it is in the "well-known" list)
+  - `advertise-chain-aliases` Alternate names for that chain (optional)
+  - `advertise-block-features` List of features describing the blocks (optional)
+  - `advertise-block-id-encoding` Encoding format of the block ID [BLOCK_ID_ENCODING_BASE58, BLOCK_ID_ENCODING_BASE64, BLOCK_ID_ENCODING_BASE64URL, BLOCK_ID_ENCODING_HEX, BLOCK_ID_ENCODING_0X_HEX] (required, unless the block type is in the "well-known" list)
+
+* Add a well-known list of chains (hard-coded in `wellknown/chains.go` to help automatically determine the 'advertise' flag values)
+* The new info endpoint adds a mandatory fetching of the first streamable block on startup, with a failure if no block can be fetched after 3 minutes and you are running `firehose` or `substreams-tier1` service.
+
 * Substreams: revert module hash calculation from `v1.5.5`, when using a non-zero firstStreamableBlock. Hashes will now be the same even if the chain's first streamable block affects the initialBlock of a module.
 * Substreams: add `--substreams-block-execution-timeout` flag (default 3 minutes) to prevent requests stalling
