For additional information regarding specific client flags visit their docs: [Prysm](https://prysm.offchainlabs.com/docs/learn/concepts/blobs), [Lighthouse](https://lighthouse-book.sigmaprime.io/advanced_blobs.html), [Teku](https://docs.teku.consensys.io/concepts/proto-danksharding#what-are-blobs), and [Lodestar](https://chainsafe.github.io/lodestar/run/beacon-management/beacon-cli/).

We should recommend using Prysm 7.1.0 or newer and --semi-supernode and --enable-backfill. We should remove --subscribe-all-data-subnets
