sr25519 removal

id: sr25519-removal-warning title: sr25519 crypto support removed version: v50+ -> v54 description: | Cosmos SDK v0.54 removed sr25519 crypto support as part of the CometBFT v1.x migration. The sr25519 signature algorithm is no longer available in the cryptographic library.

Chains that use sr25519 keys need to perform a manual migration to an alternative signature scheme (e.g., ed25519 or secp256k1). This spec detects sr25519 usage and emits a non-fatal warning.

What this spec does:

  • Detects sr25519 usage patterns in Go files
  • Emits an end-of-run warning about the removal
  • Does NOT apply any automatic changes (this requires manual migration)

What you need to do:

  • Audit your chain's key infrastructure for sr25519 usage
  • Plan a migration path for sr25519-based validators or accounts
  • Implement the migration in your chain code
