🚨 Attention Injective Builders and Community! 🚨

We have an upcoming testnet chain upgrade happening in around 30minutes. During this time, there will be a downtime on all of our testnet products.

This upgrade mainly focuses on patching the security issues reported by the core Confio team in CosmWasm (https://x.com/CosmWasm/status/1821078741079953665), which is why we’ve decided to perform the upgrade in such a short notice.

⏳**Duration: **~2 hours
