Recover IBC Client for Gravity Bridge
Proposal 1053 asks Cosmos Hub to recover the expired IBC client connecting Cosmos Hub to Gravity Bridge by replacing client 07-tendermint-582 with substitute client 07-tendermint-1508. It follows a failed prior proposal and is intended to restore the bridge connection after a Gravity Bridge exploit caused downtime and client expiration.
- Recover expired IBC client 07-tendermint-582 for Gravity Bridge.
- Replace the old client state with newly created substitute client 07-tendermint-1508.
- Proposal 1050 failed to reach quorum, so this is a follow-up attempt.
- Gravity Bridge downtime followed an exploit, which caused IBC clients to expire.
Voter Impact
A yes vote would restore the Cosmos Hub to Gravity Bridge IBC connection using the substitute client state. A no vote would leave the expired client unrecovered and keep the bridge connection unresolved.
Risk Signals
- The proposal depends on replacing an expired client with a substitute client, which may carry trust and correctness assumptions.
- The description says an exploit occurred on Gravity Bridge, but details are not provided here.
- It is unclear from the text what downstream effects recovery would have beyond restoring connectivity.
Original Proposal Text
> Proposal 1050 failed to reach a quorum; another attempt will be made to pass it This proposal seeks to recover IBC Client `07-tendermint-582` connecting CosmosHub to Gravity Bridge. The recovery process will replace the state of expired client with the state of newly created substitute client `07-tendermint-1508`. Due to an exploit executed on Gravity Bridge, the network was down for several weeks, causing IBC clients to expire. Discussion: https://forum.cosmos.network/t/gravitybridge-ibc-reactivation/17168
