What's new?

important

Chiado is our new and improved testnet. Please make sure to transition all your testing and development processes here.

Key features​

Chiado represents a crucial milestone in our journey towards mainnet launch. Here are the key features of the update:

Consensus AI readiness​

By laying the groundwork for AI integration at the consensus level, Chiado makes it possible for AIBI’s AI-based inferences and decisions to be directly incorporated into the blockchain's execution layer.

Dual VM architecture​

Chiado now supports EVM Solidity contracts alongside CosmWasm. This dual VM architecture makes it easier to integrate AI inferences with smart contracts, and users can connect directly to EVM apps.

Price feed oracles​

Chiado introduces consensus-validated price feed oracles to Warden, ensuring reliable data essential to a vast range of DeFi applications.

Mainnet readiness​

Chiado is prepared for real-world asset integration. As we transition to mainnet, developers will have a smooth experience bringing their projects from test environments into live deployments.

Key changes​

When migrating ot Chiado, please keep in mind the following key changes:

New denomination​

On Chiado, we've changed the denomination from uward to award.

A new signature scheme​

To be EVM-compatible, keys on Chiado are generated with the ethermint.crypto.v1.ethsecp256k1 module, while Buenavista uses cosmos.crypto.secp256k1.

New public addresses​

As a result of switching to a new signature scheme, the existing private keys now produce new public addresses.

To continue using your private key created on Buenavista, take these steps:

  1. Restore the key using the node command below. Replace my-key-name with a key name of your choice.

    wardend keys add my-key-name --recover

    You'll be prompted to enter your mnemonic seed phrase.

  2. Get your new address by key name:

    wardend keys show my-key-name --address

Your funds will be automatically transferred to the new address.

EVM wallets support​

We encourage users and application builders to store and delegate their test WARD with EVM wallets.
