Description
The goal of future upgrade work is:
Reduce the friction developers and validators face with Cosmos SDK chain upgrades and allow customers to iterate and release critical patches more quickly and reliably.
there are a few components we should investigate before we really dive into solutions:
- Chain interviews - we know "upgrades suck" from our experience and from the hub, but what exactly are the problems they face? Can we boil this down to a few core issues?
- Validator interviews - the other part of this story is that validators are the actual people doing this work. What are the pain points they face? What software do they already use? Custom stuff, cosmovisor, custom + cosmovisor, etc.. we should leverage our existing good relationships with cosmos validators here for input
