[PROPOSAL #990] [VOTING PERIOD] Allowlist Interchain Labs for Contract Deployments

Changelog • 2025-Feb-19: Posted initial draft • 2025-Feb-24: Added note about previous allowlisted addresses TL;DR - In order to enable Skip:Go functionality on the Hub and support the expansion of IBC Eureka, Interchain Labs (ICL) is requesting to be allowed to upload CosmWasm (CW) contracts to the Hub without seeking governance approval for subsequent uploads. This dramatically improves the Hub feature development cycle and reduces the burden on validators and users as we can upgrade our software without halting the chain. You can find the Skip:Go contract repo here . The motivations and procedures for using this right are detailed below. Motivation Deploying Skip:Go contracts will dramatically improve bridging UX as it enables the following: • Use of the Skip:Go API so that user intents can be solved • Faster-than-finality transfers through our solver network (under 30 seconds) • Usage of the Skip:Go widget for smooth deposits and withdrawals As we are expanding IBC to Ethereum & beyond and want the Hub to play a significant role as the router to all networks outside of Cosmos, having these contracts on the Hub will be required in order for us to…

This proposal gets us one step closer to making the Hub a technological powerhouse. Extremely excited to speed up development and make rapid improvements to the chain.

I will be using my hard-earned ATOMs to vote yes on this prop, and everyone else should too!

Disclaimer: I work at ICL.

My only concern relates to the address being whitelisted. How is access to this governed as well as upgradeability of the stack managed?

Fully support. Will vote yes.

It’s an obvious choice, I’m fully behind it!

Yes. Let’s go Skip, Go.

Makes sense. Can’t wait for ICL to make the Hub a hub.

Let’s make this proposal a resounding success with 100% Yes (if that’s possible?), demonstrating our full support for the new leadership.

it’s a YES!

10000000% Yes very good approach, largely in favor of this proposal

I support this proposal

This is what we have been waited for.

You got my vote.

I will vote yes, the fact that we can choose to add each product through a signaling proposal is a good start. Lead with acceptance and representativeness, that’s the way, good job!

Un Grand OUI pour cette proposition !

No brainer

Let’s the ICL cook

((Go on chain already))

The Ethical Node validator fully supports your decision and wants to vote yes. How can we do this?

100% support this proposal

I will vote YES!

This is going to Make Atom Great Again!!!

Big yes for me. It’s been refreshing to see the Cosmos eco finally have some sense of leadership and public representation and I personally am back to being excited about the future of the Hub - mostly thanks to this team’s leadership.

Full support from Citadel One. We will vote in favour.

Thank you all for the overwhelming support We will submit the proposal on-chain tomorrow.

Edit: we discovered that the previous allowlist proposal for Ark Protocol accidentally kicked out the previous access for DAO DAO. As such, this proposal will include these two previously allowlisted addresses from prop 982 (Ark Protocol) and 944 (DAO DAO). This is a required step due to how parameter changes for CosmWasm work.

The proposal is on-chain.

Happy voting!

In full support of this. Simply Staking will be voting in favour of this proposal.

Yes. Yes and Yes. Cant wait to start deploying contracts on chain. Will finally bring products to the hub!

I will Vote yes. Fully support . 100%

Voting yes onchain, has my full support offchain.

Excited for the new era of Cosmos & ATOM.

yo im new to the hub just wanted to introduce myself @Kohart and welcome any suggestions on helping me contribute to the Cosmos hub!
