Gaia v5.0.0 Release Notes

This release of Gaia contains the Gravity DEX. As well, this release bumps the versions of the Cosmos SDK and Tendermint dependencies.

Important notes:

• This release is for the upcoming DEX upgrade (taking place around July 12th 2021) and is NOT for the current Cosmos Hub.
• The Cosmos SDK and Tendermint dependencies have had their (minor) versions bumped, so the API should be the same as before. The primary change is the addition of the DEX.

The current Gaia Version of the Cosmos Hub mainnet is v5.0.0. However if you want to build a node from scratch you need to first run v4.2.6 until the node panics at block height 6910000. The node should stop running after the panic, if it does not stop automatically, wait for 5-10 minutes and then kill it manually. Now install the latest version of gaia (v5.0.0) and then begin running the binary again with the optional flag --x-crisis-skip-assert-invariants. This will begin syncing the node since the last upgrade until it is at the current height.

You can skip this process if you have access to a snapshot of the blockchain after height 6910000. You can find snapshots at cosmos.quicksync.io.
