**Upgrade height: 25571500**, expected around 2026-10-02 12:37 UTC ([countdown](https://explorer.chihuahua.wtf/block/25571500)). **v9.5.0 is an intermediate upgrade.** It prepares the chain for **v10**, which follows a few days later: Cosmos SDK v0.54, IBC v11, CosmWasm 3. ## What changes ### Alliance retired Following proposal #99, v9.5.0 retires the Alliance module, which has been inactive since the Migaloo/White Whale project wound down. - The HUAHUA held by the module is reintroduced into the ecosystem. - The staked ampGASH and the rewards left unclaimed in the module are burned: they no longer have any use or value. The module is left empty, and v10 removes it for good. ### Bug fixes - Stakedrops: fixed the start and end block checks, and the missing payout for the first block. - Event attributes: `fee_payer` now reports the bech32 address; tokenfactory mint and burn events report the correct address. - `chihuahuad export` works again. ## Upgrade with cosmovisor (automatic) The upgrade proposal carries the release binaries (linux/amd64, linux/arm64) with their sha256. With cosmovisor v1.7, set in the service environment: ```ini Environment="DAEMON_ALLOW_DOWNLOAD_BINARIES=true" Environment="DAEMON_RESTART_AFTER_UPGRADE=true" Environment="DAEMON_SHUTDOWN_GRACE=30s" ``` - `DAEMON_ALLOW_DOWNLOAD_BINARIES`: cosmovisor downloads the binary from the proposal and verifies its sha256. - `DAEMON_SHUTDOWN_GRACE`: cosmovisor stops the old binary cleanly before starting the new one. Without it the old process is killed and the new one can fail to open the database. Keep `node` in `~/.chihuahuad/config/client.toml` pointed at your node's RPC (`tcp://localhost:26657`, or your RPC port): cosmovisor checks the height through it before switching binaries.
