Dear Community,

We’re pleased to share an update on our governance activities for January 2026. This month, we screened over 35 networks and participated in voting on 34 proposals across 15 chains, consistently advocating for the best interests of our delegators. Below is a chart highlighting the top 10 most active networks and a breakdown of our votes:

Top 10 most active chains by governance and CryptoCrew vote breakdown

In January, CryptoCrew voted on four mainnet upgrade proposals across Cosmos Hub, Quicksilver, OmniFlix, and dYdX. These upgrades focused on protocol stability, security hardening, and orderly network transitions, ranging from Gaia’s v25.3.0 stack upgrade and Quicksilver’s v1.10.0 release to the governance-controlled OmniFlix chain shutdown and dYdX’s v9.6 upgrade introducing new governance-managed market parameters.

CryptoCrew-supported upgrades (January 2026)

In addition to on-chain governance upgrades, several networks we validate also rolled out a coordinated, non-governance security patch addressing the CometBFT “Tachyon” vulnerability. The issue was privately disclosed to core chain teams, with prebuilt binaries distributed directly to validators to avoid early exposure. Networks were given roughly one week to upgrade before public disclosure, and patches were applied without chain halts, as the issue was not state-breaking unless actively exploited. CryptoCrew supported and executed these validator-side upgrades as part of our ongoing commitment to network safety and operational continuity.


Outside of chain upgrades, January governance activity remained relatively light compared to prior months. The most consequential decisions included the Cosmos Hub’s debate over community pool deployment into Hydro’s Inflow vault, a series of Injective proposals focused on oracle decentralization and orderly perpetual market settlements, and multiple IBC light client recoveries restoring cross-chain connectivity across the ecosystem. Together, these proposals reflected a month centered on targeted maintenance, risk management, and infrastructure continuity rather than broad protocol change.

As usual, you can find the full list of proposals we voted on in January 2026 by scrolling down below.

Your delegations allow us to maintain the quality of this service and represent our collective interests in governance. Remember, you can always override our vote with your own preferences on any active proposal. We appreciate your continued trust and support.

Kind regards,
The CryptoCrew Team ✅
