Governance Proposal for Crypto.org Mainnet Upgrade Is Now Live for Voting
We would like you, our community, to share your feedback on the upgrade proposal and cast your vote.
Since the launch of Canis Major — Phase I, we have been happy to see that the network supports smooth, native NFT operations on the Crypto.org Chain.
Together with the team’s valiant efforts and incredible support from the community, we are now ready to propose a new mainnet upgrade for Phase 2: Draco II, which will explore fresh opportunities to further empower the chain. We would like you, our community, to share your feedback on the upgrade proposal and cast your vote.
What Is This Proposal?
We are proposing a network upgrade for the Crypto.org Chain mainnet crypto-org-chain-mainnet-1. The Draco II — Phase 2 upgrade intends to enable native token issuance via IBC (Inter‑Blockchain Communication Protocol) solo machines. Coin Issuance is an essential building block for the Crypto.org Chain DeFi ecosystem. The tokens can be issued easily with solutions such as Solo Machine, are natively recognised, and can be transferred for the purposes of payment.
This newest binary v3.3.2, an upgraded base on Cosmos SDK 0.44.4 and Ibc-go 2.2.0, contains a few important updates to the network, including two new modules x/authz and x/feegrant, new public keys and signing algorithms, enabled governance ‘weighted votes’ option, and many more.
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 block height #3,526,800. 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 begins at 5:51 UTC on 22 November 2021 and will end on 6 December 2021 at 5:51 UTC. If the proposal passes, the chain will be upgraded with the new active validator at block height #3,526,800. We highly encourage all Crypto.org Chain validators and delegators to cast their votes.
