This upgrade unforks Gaia from the Cosmos SDK while upgrading from version 0.50.13 to 0.53.0. This significantly reduces technical debt and eases future development.
Gaia v25.0.0 is a major release that will follow the regular governance process for software upgrades on the Cosmos Hub.
Reminder – This proposal will have a voting period of just ONE WEEK.
If the proposal passes, validators will be required to update the Cosmos Hub binary at the halt-height specified in the on-chain proposal.
We are targeting the upgrade for Wednesday July 2nd.
The release bumps the following dependencies:
This upgrade is state-breaking and mandatory once the on-chain vote passes and the upgrade-height is reached.
Please note that the --x-crisis-skip-assert-invariants flag has been deprecated and the node will not start with it in place. Make sure you are not using this flag before you start a v25 node.
The v25.0.0 release has gone through rigorous testing, including e2e tests, and integration tests by Interchain Labs. In addition, the upgrade process has been independently tested by the team at Hypha Co-op and has been performed by validators and node operators on a public testnet prior to going on-chain.
If you wish to participate in the testnet upgrade process in the future, you can find the relevant information (genesis file, peers, etc.) to join the Cosmos Hub’s Interchain Security Testnet (provider) [Hidden link].
As with any major upgrade, there always exists a risk that the Cosmos Hub might experience problems due to potential bugs or errors, even though extensive testing and simulation has been completed. In the case of serious problems, validators should stop operating the network immediately.
Coordination with validators will happen in the [Hidden link] of the Cosmos Network Discord to create and execute a contingency plan. Likely this will be an emergency release with fixes or the recommendation to consider the upgrade aborted and revert back to the previous release of Gaia (v24.0.0).
The following items summarize the voting options and what it means for this proposal:
YES - You agree that the Cosmos Hub should upgrade to v25.0.0.
NO - You disagree that the Cosmos Hub should upgrade to v25.0.0.
NO WITH VETO - A 'NoWithVeto' vote indicates a proposal either (1) is deemed to be spam, i.e., irrelevant to Cosmos Hub, (2) disproportionately infringes on minority interests, or (3) violates or encourages violation of the rules of engagement as currently set out by Cosmos Hub governance. If the number of 'NoWithVeto' votes is greater than a third of total votes, the proposal is rejected and the deposits are burned.
ABSTAIN - You wish to contribute to the quorum but you formally decline to vote either for or against the proposal.
