 ### Added
 
 - `BlockTimestampGate`: new gate that lets blocks through once a block's timestamp meets or exceeds a given `time.Time`, supporting both inclusive and exclusive gate types.
+- `hub.WithLogger`: new `ForkableHub` option to set the logger used by the hub (and, by default, propagated to its inner forkable). Previously the hub always logged under the package-level `bstream` logger, making lines such as `processing block` indistinguishable across components (relayer, firehose, tier1, ...). Callers should pass their component logger.
