🚀 Highlights

The focus of this release is the upgrade of Cosmos SDK to v0.47 -- this release uses v0.47.8-ics-lsm, a special Cosmos SDK branch with support for both ICS and LSM. Consequently, it also upgrades the following dependencies:

• IBC to v7.3.1
• CometBFT to v0.37.4
• Interchain Security to v3.3.1-lsm
• Packet Forward Middleware to v7.1.2

In addition, this release migrates the following state:

• Sets the min commission rate staking parameter to 5% and updates the commission rate for all validators accordingly (according to governance proposal 826).
• Migrates the vesting funds from cosmos145hytrc49m0hn6fphp8d5h4xspwkawcuzmx498
  to the community pool (according to governance proposal 860).

Finally, this releases fixes a series of issues found during the Oak Security audit of SDK 0.47. As a result, this release introduces the following API changes:

• Reject MsgVote messages from accounts with less than 1 ATOM staked.
• A new MinDepositRatio param is added (with a default value of 0.01) and now deposits are required to be at least MinDepositRatio*MinDeposit to be accepted.
