There were some state-machine breaking changes yesterday: https://github.com/tharsis/ethermint/releases/tag/v0.11.0

We need to review these, as well as the other differences this fork has fallen behind on, and reintegrate them as needed here.

TODO

• Refactor/rebase our SMT branch of the SDK on-top of the new nascent v0.46 release that includes the reversion to using antehandlers instead of middleware
• Refactor chiba-clonk to use a release of the above

System info: [Include Ethermint commit, operating system name, and other relevant details]

Steps to reproduce:

1. [First Step]
2. [Second Step]
3. [and so on...]

Expected behavior: [What you expected to happen]

Actual behavior: [What actually happened]

Additional info: [Include gist of relevant config, logs, etc.]

• General testing of our modules
• Test running an auction
• Test upgrading to new version of the SDK (0.46.0 with SMT)
• Test adding new validators
• Testing/Benchmarking of SMT
• Test imposing minimum number of validators (test crisis module, or write a custom module)
• Test failure of the above constraint(s)

Non-exhaustive, will update.

Currently we use the old go-ipld-cbor codec, we should upgrade to using the go-ipld-prime interfaces and the corresponding dag-cbor codec: https://github.com/ipld/go-ipld-prime/tree/master/codec/dagcbor. This will enable forward compatibility with any other codec that conforms to the go-ipld-prime interfaces.

Update to https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/releases/tag/v1.10.17

• CID storage/retrieval functionality exposed as a cosmos-sdk module called ipfs
• Connects to postgres, saves/loads data from public.blocks table
• Registry and other cosmos-sdk modules should be able to load data from ipfs
• TBD: Module vs library

TODO

Integrate the latest cosmwasm module into chiba-clonk, enabling us to run cosmwasm contracts on chain.

• Finish the refactor of cosmwasm onto SDK+SMT
• Update chiba-clonk to load the cosmwasm module into the BaseApp
• Deploy a CosmWASM contract and run it in the testnet

• add issues fixes commits of upgrade migrations issues from cosmos-sdk repo to vulcanize cosmos-sdk
  • cosmos/cosmos-sdk#12028
• check the upgrade is working fine in vulcanize cosmos-sdk from v0.45.4 to latest v0.46-SMT
• replicate above fixes into chiba-clonk

Review https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/tree/main/orm to see if it can be used for our needs in #44

Currently, the registry only supports the dag-cbor codec. We need to extend it so that we can add support for multiple codecs when required.

Proposal: [Description of the feature]

Ensure that a minimum of 7 nodes are running

Current behavior: [What currently happens]

Desired behavior: [What you would like to happen]

Use case: [Why is this important (helps with prioritizing requests)]

Requests may be closed if we're not actively planning to work on them.

GQL queries currently do a full scan on registry records when filtering. We need to implement indexing to make this work at scale.

The main issue is that the v0.46.0 version of the SDK is missing the x/auth/ante and x/auth/legacy pkgs. Additionally, we need to use an updated version of ibc-go that works with our 0.46.0 branch of the SDK. There is a PR on ibc-go for updating it to work with 0.46, but this is for a version of 0.46 that does not include our SMT updates. This branch is incompatible with our SMT branch of the SDK until we rebase it to a more recent commit that includes the x/gov/types/v1 pkg.

• Rebase our SDK branch on latest commit of nascent 0.46 (rebase the code on https://github.com/vulcanize/cosmos-sdk/tree/release-v0.46.0-smt-0.0.1-alpha to the version of SDK being used by cosmos/ibc-go#1205)
• Fork ibc-go, update ibc-go branch to work with release cut for above SDK rebase
• Needed to cut out dependency on auth/ante, we need to add this back in after resolving the dep issue

In the meantime, we have a release of the chiba-clonk that is updated to the v0.12.2 version of ethermint, but lacks SMT integration.

After all the pending changes, we will need to ensure the direcitons in https://github.com/vulcanize/chiba-clonk/blob/dev/testnet/full-node.md#b-starting-node are up-to-date and working.
