Upgrade Features

• Add cryptocrew to Stride's validator set.

This is a small upgrade focused on expanding the PoA validator set. No other functional changes are planned beyond the validator-set update.

Getting Prepared for the Upgrade

As always, we recommend validators use 64GB of RAM. If you are unable to have 64GB of RAM, at a minimum have a total of 64GB of swap set to prevent out of memory errors.

We highly recommend upgrading with Cosmovisor. To do this, please manually build and copy the strided binary to:
