🚀 Highlights

The focus of this release is the upgrade of Cosmos SDK to v0.47 -- this release uses v0.47.10-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 v3.3.3-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).

Also, this release adds support for metaprotocols using the transaction extension options. See the docs of the x/metaprotocols module for more details.

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.
