🚀 Highlights

This release adds Partial Set Security (PSS) features to the Cosmos Hub blockchain.

When the PSS enabled chain binary lands on mainnet, new consumer chains will be able to:

• choose the % of Cosmos Hub's voting power that is required to operate the consumer chain
• use allow/denylists to customize validator participation
• choose a per-validator voting power maximum (voting power cap)
• use a different number of validators compared to the Cosmos Hub (validator number cap)
• choose to run as an "Opt-in" chain (running the chain is not mandatory for validators)
• have validators choose a different commission rate on their chain
