Stride v33.0.0

v33.0.0 - 2026-07-28

Upgrade Info – Proposal 283

Stride Proposal #283 seeks to upgrade the chain to the v33.0.0 tag of the Stride codebase at block height 39333393, which is estimated to occur on Tuesday Aug 4th 2026 at 14:00 UTC.

Because of the uncertainty in block times, please keep track of the Stride chain for a precise estimate.

Upgrade Features

• Migrate from ICS consumer to POA (#1496). Stride leaves Interchain Security and runs its own proof-of-authority validator set. The upgrade handler snapshots the existing ICS validator set into the new x/poa module, sweeps the residual ICS reward module accounts (cons_redistribute and cons_to_send_to_provider) into the community pool, and drops ccvconsumer, slashing and evidence from the module manager. Transaction fees route to the POA module account rather than fee_collector, and validators claim their share via MsgWithdrawFees.

• SDK 54 (#1495).

• Remediate v32 stuck unbondings on injective-1 and osmosis-1 (#1510). Reconciles delegation records that drifted above their true on-chain values after the v32 rebalance, and credits the reconciled amount back into the delegation queue. The credit matches the reduction exactly, so the redemption rate is unchanged.

• Update validator weights to Q2 2026 targets (#1513).

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:

$DAEMON_HOME/cosmovisor/upgrades/v33/bin/

In case anything concerning happens at upgrade time, we will notify all validators immediately on the #cc-announcements channel.
