This guide provides instructions for upgrading to specific versions of Cosmos SDK.
The Cosmos SDK has migrated to CometBFT, as its default consensus engine.
CometBFT is an implementation of the Tendermint consensus algorithm, and the successor of Tendermint Core.
Due to the import changes, this is a breaking change. Chains need to remove entirely their imports of Tendermint Core in their codebase, from direct and indirects imports in their go.mod
.
- Replace
github.com/tendermint/tendermint
bygithub.com/cometbft/cometbft
- Replace
github.com/tendermint/tm-db
bygithub.com/cometbft/cometbft-db
- Verify
github.com/tendermint/tendermint
is not an indirect or direct dependency - Run
make proto-gen
Other than that, the migration should be seamless. On the SDK side, clean-up of variables, functions to reflect the new name will only happen from v0.48 (part 2).
Note: It is possible that these steps must first be performed by your dependencies before you can perform them on your own codebase.
Remove RandomizedParams
from AppModuleSimulation
interface. Previously, it used to generate random parameter changes during simulations, however, it does so through ParamChangeProposal which is now legacy. Since all modules were migrated, we can now safely remove this from AppModuleSimulation
interface.
Moreover, to support the MsgUpdateParams
governance proposals for each modules, AppModuleSimulation
now defines a AppModule.ProposalMsgs
method in addition to AppModule.ProposalContents
. That method defines the messages that can be used to submit a proposal and that should be tested in simulation.
When a module has no proposal messages or proposal content to be tested by simulation, the AppModule.ProposalMsgs
and AppModule.ProposalContents
methods can be deleted.
A new gRPC service, proto/cosmos/base/node/v1beta1/query.proto
, has been introduced
which exposes various operator configuration. App developers should be sure to
register the service with the gRPC-gateway service via
nodeservice.RegisterGRPCGatewayRoutes
in their application construction, which
is typically found in RegisterAPIRoutes
.
Support for the AppModule
Querier
, Route
and LegacyQuerier
methods has been entirely removed from the AppModule
interface. This removes and fully deprecates all legacy queriers. All modules no longer support the REST API previously
known as the LCD, and the sdk.Msg#Route
method won't be used anymore.
Most other existing AppModule
methods have been moved to extension interfaces in preparation for the migration
to the cosmossdk.io/core/appmodule
API in the next release. Most AppModule
implementations should not be broken
by this change.
The simapp
package should not be imported in your own app. Instead, you should import the runtime.AppI
interface, that defines an App
, and use the simtestutil
package for application testing.
SimApp's app_v2.go
is using App Wiring, the dependency injection framework of the Cosmos SDK.
This means that modules are injected directly into SimApp thanks to a configuration file.
The previous behavior, without the dependency injection framework, is still present in app.go
and is not going anywhere.
If you are using a app.go
without dependency injection, add the following lines to your app.go
in order to provide newer gRPC services:
autocliv1.RegisterQueryServer(app.GRPCQueryRouter(), runtimeservices.NewAutoCLIQueryService(app.ModuleManager.Modules))
reflectionSvc, err := runtimeservices.NewReflectionService()
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
reflectionv1.RegisterReflectionServiceServer(app.GRPCQueryRouter(), reflectionSvc)
The constructor, NewSimApp
has been simplified:
NewSimApp
does not take encoding parameters (encodingConfig
) as input, instead the encoding parameters are injected (when using app wiring), or directly created in the constructor. Instead, we can instantiateSimApp
for getting the encoding configuration.NewSimApp
now usesAppOptions
for getting the home path (homePath
) and the invariant checks period (invCheckPeriod
). These were unnecessary given as arguments as they were already present in theAppOptions
.
simapp.MakeTestEncodingConfig()
was deprecated and has been removed. Instead you can use the TestEncodingConfig
from the types/module/testutil
package.
This means you can replace your usage of simapp.MakeTestEncodingConfig
in tests to moduletestutil.MakeTestEncodingConfig
, which takes a series of relevant AppModuleBasic
as input (the module being tested and any potential dependencies).
ExportAppStateAndValidators
takes an extra argument, modulesToExport
, which is a list of module names to export.
That argument should be passed to the module maanager ExportGenesisFromModules
method.
The GoLevelDB
version must pinned to v1.0.1-0.20210819022825-2ae1ddf74ef7
in the application, following versions might cause unexpected behavior.
This can be done adding replace github.com/syndtr/goleveldb => github.com/syndtr/goleveldb v1.0.1-0.20210819022825-2ae1ddf74ef7
to the go.mod
file.
The SDK has migrated from gogo/protobuf
(which is currently unmaintained), to our own maintained fork, cosmos/gogoproto
.
This means you should replace all imports of github.com/gogo/protobuf
to github.com/cosmos/gogoproto
.
This allows you to remove the replace directive replace github.com/gogo/protobuf => github.com/regen-network/protobuf v1.3.3-alpha.regen.1
from your go.mod
file.
Please use the ghcr.io/cosmos/proto-builder
image (version >= 0.11.5
) for generating protobuf files.
See which buf commit for cosmos/cosmos-sdk
to pin in your buf.yaml
file here.
The SDK made a patch fix on its gogoproto repository to require that each proto file's package name matches its OS import path (relatively to a protobuf root import path, usually the root proto/
folder, set by the protoc -I
flag).
For example, assuming you put all your proto files in subfolders inside your root proto/
folder, then a proto file with package name myapp.mymodule.v1
should be found in the proto/myapp/mymodule/v1/
folder. If it is in another folder, the proto generation command will throw an error.
If you are using a custom folder structure for your proto files, please reorganize them so that their OS path matches their proto package name.
This is to allow the proto FileDescriptSets to be correctly registered, and this standardized OS import paths allows Hubl to reflectively talk to any chain.
The SDK is normalizing the strings inside the Protobuf accepts_interface
and implements_interface
annotations. We require them to be fully-scoped names. They will soon be used by code generators like Pulsar and Telescope to match which messages can or cannot be packed inside Any
s.
Here are the following replacements that you need to perform on your proto files:
- "Content"
+ "cosmos.gov.v1beta1.Content"
- "Authorization"
+ "cosmos.authz.v1beta1.Authorization"
- "sdk.Msg"
+ "cosmos.base.v1beta1.Msg"
- "AccountI"
+ "cosmos.auth.v1beta1.AccountI"
- "ModuleAccountI"
+ "cosmos.auth.v1beta1.ModuleAccountI"
- "FeeAllowanceI"
+ "cosmos.feegrant.v1beta1.FeeAllowanceI"
Please also check that in your own app's proto files that there are no single-word names for those two proto annotations. If so, then replace them with fully-qualified names, even though those names don't actually resolve to an actual protobuf entity.
For more information, see the encoding guide.
Broadcast mode block
was deprecated and has been removed. Please use sync
mode
instead. When upgrading your tests from block
to sync
and checking for a
transaction code, you need to query the transaction first (with its hash) to get
the correct code.
EventTypeMessage
events, with sdk.AttributeKeyModule
and sdk.AttributeKeySender
are now emitted directly at message excecution (in baseapp
).
This means that the following boilerplate should be removed from all your custom modules:
ctx.EventManager().EmitEvent(
sdk.NewEvent(
sdk.EventTypeMessage,
sdk.NewAttribute(sdk.AttributeKeyModule, types.AttributeValueCategory),
sdk.NewAttribute(sdk.AttributeKeySender, `signer/sender`),
),
)
The module name is assumed by baseapp
to be the second element of the message route: "cosmos.bank.v1beta1.MsgSend" -> "bank"
.
In case a module does not follow the standard message path, (e.g. IBC), it is advised to keep emitting the module name event.
Baseapp
only emits that event if the module has not already done so.
The params
module was deprecated since v0.46. The Cosmos SDK has migrated away from x/params
for its own modules.
Cosmos SDK modules now store their parameters directly in its repective modules.
The params
module will be removed in v0.48
, as mentioned in v0.46 release. It is strongly encouraged to migrate away from x/params
before v0.48
.
When performing a chain migration, the params table must be initizalied manually. This was done in the modules keepers in previous versions.
Have a look at simapp.RegisterUpgradeHandlers()
for an example.
With the migrations of all modules away from x/params
, the crisis module now has a store.
The store must be created during a chain upgrade to v0.47.x.
storetypes.StoreUpgrades{
Added: []string{
crisistypes.ModuleName,
},
}
The gov
module has been updated to support a minimum proposal deposit at submission time. It is determined by a new
parameter called MinInitialDepositRatio
. When multiplied by the existing MinDeposit
parameter, it produces
the necessary proportion of coins needed at the proposal submission time. The motivation for this change is to prevent proposal spamming.
By default, the new MinInitialDepositRatio
parameter is set to zero during migration. The value of zero signifies that this
feature is disabled. If chains wish to utilize the minimum proposal deposits at time of submission, the migration logic needs to be
modified to set the new parameter to the desired value.
The Proposal
proto has been updated with proposer field. For proposal state migraton developers can call v4.AddProposerAddressToProposal
in their upgrade handler to update all existing proposal and make them compatible and this migration is optional.
import (
sdk "github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/types"
"github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/types/module"
v4 "github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/x/gov/migrations/v4"
upgradetypes "github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/x/upgrade/types"
)
func (app SimApp) RegisterUpgradeHandlers() {
app.UpgradeKeeper.SetUpgradeHandler(UpgradeName,
func(ctx sdk.Context, plan upgradetypes.Plan, fromVM module.VersionMap) (module.VersionMap, error) {
// this migration is optional
// add proposal ids with proposers which are active (deposit or voting period)
proposals := make(map[uint64]string)
proposals[1] = "cosmos1luyncewxk4lm24k6gqy8y5dxkj0klr4tu0lmnj" ...
v4.AddProposerAddressToProposal(ctx, sdk.NewKVStoreKey(v4.ModuleName), app.appCodec, proposals)
return app.ModuleManager.RunMigrations(ctx, app.Configurator(), fromVM)
})
}
Introducing a new x/consensus
module to handle managing Tendermint consensus
parameters. For migration it is required to call a specific migration to migrate
existing parameters from the deprecated x/params
to x/consensus
module. App
developers should ensure to call baseapp.MigrateParams
in their upgrade handler.
Example:
func (app SimApp) RegisterUpgradeHandlers() {
----> baseAppLegacySS := app.ParamsKeeper.Subspace(baseapp.Paramspace).WithKeyTable(paramstypes.ConsensusParamsKeyTable()) <----
app.UpgradeKeeper.SetUpgradeHandler(
UpgradeName,
func(ctx sdk.Context, _ upgradetypes.Plan, fromVM module.VersionMap) (module.VersionMap, error) {
// Migrate Tendermint consensus parameters from x/params module to a
// dedicated x/consensus module.
----> baseapp.MigrateParams(ctx, baseAppLegacySS, &app.ConsensusParamsKeeper) <----
// ...
return app.ModuleManager.RunMigrations(ctx, app.Configurator(), fromVM)
},
)
// ...
}
The x/params
module should still be imported in your app.go in order to handle this migration.
Because the x/consensus
module is a new module, its store must be added while upgrading to v0.47.x:
storetypes.StoreUpgrades{
Added: []string{
consensustypes.ModuleName,
},
}
When using an app.go
without App Wiring, the following changes are required:
- bApp.SetParamStore(app.ParamsKeeper.Subspace(baseapp.Paramspace).WithKeyTable(paramstypes.ConsensusParamsKeyTable()))
+ app.ConsensusParamsKeeper = consensusparamkeeper.NewKeeper(appCodec, keys[consensusparamstypes.StoreKey], authtypes.NewModuleAddress(govtypes.ModuleName).String())
+ bApp.SetParamStore(&app.ConsensusParamsKeeper)
When using App Wiring, the paramater store is automatically set for you.
The SDK does not validate anymore the classID
and nftID
of an NFT, for extra flexibility in your NFT implementation.
This means chain developers need to validate the classID
and nftID
of an NFT.
Ledger support has been generalized to enable use of different apps and keytypes that use secp256k1
. The Ledger interface remains the same, but it can now be provided through the Keyring Options
, allowing higher-level chains to connect to different Ledger apps or use custom implementations. In addition, higher-level chains can provide custom key implementations around the Ledger public key, to enable greater flexibility with address generation and signing.
This is not a breaking change, as all values will default to use the standard Cosmos app implementation unless specified otherwise.
