Stargate and IBC Upgrade Signaling Proposal

One of the most requested features in the last several months has been integrating Secret Network with the rest of the Cosmos ecosystem through IBC. The time has finally come to shift our focus to upgrading our network to the latest Cosmos-SDK version, and catch up on all the work that has been done upstream in the Cosmos ecosystem since we released our first mainnet in February of last year. Our current mainnet is based on Cosmos-sdk v0.38, and in this upgrade we'll be targeting v0.43. The v0.40 upgrade was a massive undertaking for the Cosmos Hub and other chains in the ecosystem and we are excited to take part in realizing the vision of an ecosystem of interconnected blockchains.

The goal of this proposal is to signal the network's approval and stakeholder consensus for the date of September 1st (01/09/21) as the time of this upgrade. Future Proposals will go into more detail on timeline and upgrade instructions
