Cudos: Pag-upgrade ng Network

We're actively working on major network upgrades for the CUDOS Blockchain together with Notional Ventures 🦾 Here's a glimpse of what's happening, with more detailed insights coming your way in the next couple of weeks!

🛠️ Realigning with the #Cosmos SDK:

The CUDOS blockchain currently uses a fork of the CosmosSDK and some modules. We are looking to migrate to the mainline SDK to enhance functionality and align with best practices. Starting with an upgrade to v0.45.16, subsequent updates to catch up to the most recent CosmosSDK version will ensure we stay on the bleeding edge of the Cosmos.

🌉 The CUDOS Bridge Realignment with the Core Module:

As part of our evolution, we're also realigning our fork of the gravity module used for the CUDOS Bridge with the mainline module. This aligns us with the great work that the Gravity Bridge team has been doing. This paves the way for enhanced interoperability and seamless transactions within the Cosmos ecosystem.

🔧 Backend Infrastructure Enhancements:

Stay tuned for details on backend infra changes, including a shift to a different chain indexer for better performance on our dApps and Explorer. These improvements will optimise automation and elevate our internal systems and monitoring. We are currently assessing which indexer to use, along with Notional. Shill us your indexer and we’ll consider it! Bro_n_Bro, what do you have for us? 😉

⚡ Faster, Smoother Upgrades:

Our revamped infrastructure management will ensure faster, smoother upgrades, keeping us at the forefront of Cosmos innovations. Our decision to stage the network upgrades, rather than perform a monolithic upgrade, will reduce the likelihood of downtime as we minimise any error plane.

🌐 Integrating with #Cosmos Ecosystem:

While preserving core features, we're updating libraries to Cosmos' latest standards, fostering better collaboration with projects in the Cosmos ecosystem. This positions the launch of CUDOS Blockchain Compute for the next Interchain frontier!
