Governance Proposal for Crypto.org Mainnet V4 Upgrade is Now Live for Voting
We’re excited to announce the launch of our latest governance proposal for the V4 upgrade for the Crypto.org Chain. This will explore fresh opportunities for our ecosystem to empower the chain. We are urged to hear our community’s feedback on the upgrade proposal and would like to invite you to cast your vote.
What is this proposal?
We are proposing a network upgrade for the Crypto.org Chain mainnet crypto-org-chain-mainnet-1.
This newest Crypto.org Chain binary v4.2.2 is an upgraded base on Cosmos SDK 0.46, IBC-go 5.2.0, and Go v1.19, which contain a few important updates to the network, including support for Interchain Accounts, Relayer Incentivisation, and NFT transfer over IBC. It also comes with 1) the new modules and updates in Cosmos SDK 0.46, such as the implementation of 5% MinCommissionRate, which serves as an incentive for validators to create a sustainable validators ecosystem; 2) support for message-based governance proposals, which execute the messages under the gov module address; and 3) support for x/group module, allowing the creation and maintenance of on-chain multi-signature accounts.
Details are available in our previous post of Crypto.org Chain v4 Release.
If this proposal passes, validators and full nodes would need to upgrade their chain-maind to the newest version to enable this upgrade.
Governance voting process
The community governance voting process for this upgrade will start once this proposal has been funded by a sufficient deposit. If the proposal passes, the upgrade will be performed at the block height of 10073800. The Chain will be paused to allow the majority of validators to upgrade.
How can I prepare?
Validators and full node hosts need to upgrade to the latest chain-maind binary. There is no other required action.
The 14-day voting period began at 06:04 UTC on Feb.7, 2023 and ends at the same time on Feb.21. If the proposal passes, the chain will be upgraded with the new updates discussed above. We highly encourage all Crypto.org Chain validators and delegators to cast their votes.
