Dorado Network Upgrade

As part of our mission to make 2022 a year of rapid growth for the Fetch.ai ecosystem, we are proposing the Dorado upgrade to our network.

Dorado brings the core Fetch.ai ledger in sync with the Cosmos SDK version 0.45. Primarily, the focus in this update is improving performance and scalability of the network.

Additionally, as part of this upgrade we are bumping the IBC version to 2.2.0. This will result in increased stability for IBC connections between our networks and other chains. The IBC technology is key in enabling interoperability between our chain and other networks such as Cosmos hub and Osmosis.

We hope that everyone in the Fetch community will support this governance proposal so the Fetch ecosystem can get one step closer to making decentralized machine learning and agent-based systems a reality.
