🚀 Highlights

The focus of this release is the upgrade of Cosmos SDK to v0.50 -- this release uses v0.50.9-lsm, a special Cosmos SDK branch with support for LSM. Consequently, it also upgrades the following dependencies:

• IBC to v8.4.0
• CometBFT to v0.38.9
• Interchain Security to v5.1.1
• Packet Forward Middleware to v8.0.2
• IBC Rate Limiting to v8.0.0
• Fee Market to v1.0.4
• CosmWasm/wasmd to v0.51.0

As a result of the IBC upgrade, this release will enable IBC channel upgrades, e.g., existing IBC channels can be upgraded to add relayer incentivization through IBC fees.

Refer to the upgrading guide when migrating from v17.2.x to v18.x.

🚀 Highlights

This release adds the following features:

• Permissioned CosmWasm (as per prop 895) enables the governance-gated deployment of CosmWasm contracts. See this forum discussion for more details on what contracts should be deployed on the Hub.
• Skip's feemarket module (as per prop 842) enables the dynamic adjustment of the base transaction fee based on the block utilization (the more transactions in a block, the higher the base fee). This module replaces the x/globalfee module.
• Expedited proposals (as per prop 926) enable governance proposals with a shorter voting period (i.e., one week instead of two), but with a higher tally threshold (i.e., 66.7% of Yes votes for the proposal to pass) and a higher minimum deposit (i.e., 500 ATOMs instead of the 250 for regular proposals). Initially, only MsgSoftwareUpgrade and MsgCancelUpgrade can be expedited.

The release also bumps the following dependencies:

• Golang to v1.22
• Cosmos SDK to v0.47.16-ics-lsm
• IBC to v7.6.0
• ICS to v4.3.0-lsm
