A little bit of chit-chat
Withdrawals of EVMOS from Osmosis on Keplr Mobile have been disabled after a bug was detected, which could potentially lead users to lose funds in the process. However, users can still withdraw their Evmos from Osmosis using the Osmosis web app or the Evmos native dashboard.
A proposal to increase the validator set on Stargaze from 120 to 130 failed to pass. The reason, as per the Commonwealth thread, was that the community didn't have enough time to discuss it and gather feedback on the matter.
Any token, any time 🪙
After Keplr upgrade v0.11.0, users of Osmosis and Gravity Bridge can pay their transaction fees in any IBC-enabled tokens they have available in their wallets.
This is a leap forward for the usability of the Cosmos ecosystem. The feature could become enabled on other IBC chains once validators agree on allowing other assets as fee tokens. To use IBC tokens as fee payments, users must choose this in advance when placing the transaction.
An important milestone 🌒
Penumbra, fully private proof-of-stake network and decentralised exchange for the Cosmos ecosystem, just achieved a new milestone on its way to mainnet. With their testnet 29th, Eukelade, the team introduced the shielded batch swap mechanism.
The main benefit of this feature is that it allows users to privately swap tokens without leaving the shielded pool—the mechanism act as a mediator between the shielded pool and the public chain state.
In a transaction, the Swap action burns input funds and mints a "swap NFT" recording the contribution. Meanwhile, the SwapClaim action spends a swap NFT and mints a pro-rata share of the batch output. The full Penumbra system is still under development and could potentially go live in the first half of 2023.
