Moreover, major validators such as Allnodes, StakeBin, JESUSisLORD, Lunanauts, and SolidVote support the proposal. The proposal will end on May 15 and developers are already preparing for the upgrade as the community always passes such proposals.

This major upgrade is followed by The Cosmwasm 1.1.0 Parity upgrade on May 31. It will bring back utility to the Terra Classic network by allowing projects and builders across Cosmos and Terra Luna 2.0 to once again build on the Terra Classic chain.
