The Cosmos-SDK

" summary

Cosmos SDK v2 roadmap shows concrete changes: Cosmos SDK v2 replaces the BasApp monolith with a state transition function (STF) API, a split runtime v2 and modular servers so consensus, RPC and GRPC can be swapped, and a CometBFT v1 integration. Core APIs become stable, common modules (community pool, epoch, x account) are extracted and replaceable, storage moves to AVL v2 (≈10x faster), optimistic proposals land, and 0.52 Olympus LTS provides two years of compatibility to ease migration.
