[Proposal] Cosmos Hub adopt the Skip Block SDK

Hey, this sounds really great. The lack of a sophisticated fee market in Cosmos has bothered me for a long time.

We just put out this suggested “CHIPs” process for Cosmos Hub improvements: Cosmos Hub Improvement Process (CHIPs)

Not to hijack your post, but I was wondering what CHIPs phase you consider this proposal to be at (and whether CHIPs even looks like a good process to you)? To me, it seems like we are at phase 4: signaling proposal, since the design and implementation work has already been done.

Maintenance

Either way, my main concern here is maintenance. I have the following questions:

  • How will ongoing maintenance (SDK version upgrades, etc) be paid for? Who do you expect will do it? Will the code always be owned by Skip, or will responsibility pass over to the SDK or Comet teams at some point?
  • In the scenario that maintenance stops for whatever reason, what will the impact on the Cosmos Hub be?
