🚀 Highlights
This releases adds several features made possible by the upgrade to Cosmos SDK v0.47:
- The IBC rate limit module prevents massive inflows or outflows of IBC tokens in a short time frame to add an extra layer of protection on IBC transfers.
- The ICA controller sub-module enables Hub users to perform actions on other chains using their Hub accounts.
- The IBC fee middleware enables creating IBC channels with in-protocol incentivization for relayers.
This release also bumps ICS to v4.1.0-lsm, which introduces ICS epochs to reduce the relaying cost for ICS.
