Goals

• Build stronger technical ties & relationships w/ the Cosmos ecosystem
• Leverage existing tools from CometBFT for E2E testing, development, automation, etc...
• Find opportunities of technical overlap
• Give back to the Cosmos community some of the tooling we've built (testing, LocalNet development, observability, automation, etc...)
• North Star: Only have one framework that provides everything out of the box

Deliverables

• Explore (1-3 technical heads-down days) the tooling in CometBFT.
• Identify opportunities of:
  • Deprecated tooling POKT/Grove has built
  • Deprecating tooling CometBFT has built
  • Merging the two stacks
• Design a roadmap + architectural path forward of where value creation can accrue

Non-goals / Non-deliverables

• Implementing the entire plan identified/outlined in the steps above
