 Later, we may add permissioned keys that could only sign txs from certain modules. For the MVP, the `Governance address` will be the main validator address generated at account creation. This address corresponds to a different PrivKey than the CometBFT PrivKey which is responsible for signing consensus messages. Validators thus do not have to sign governance transactions with the sensitive CometBFT PrivKey.
 
-### Software Upgrade
-
-If proposals are of type `SoftwareUpgradeProposal`, then nodes need to upgrade
-their software to the new version that was voted. This process is divided into
-two steps:
-
-#### Signal
-
-After a `SoftwareUpgradeProposal` is accepted, validators are expected to
-download and install the new version of the software while continuing to run
-the previous version. Once a validator has downloaded and installed the
-upgrade, it will start signaling to the network that it is ready to switch by
-including the proposal's `proposalID` in its *precommits*. (*Note: Confirmation that we want it in the precommit?*)
-
-Note: There is only one signal slot per *precommit*. If several
-`SoftwareUpgradeProposals` are accepted in a short timeframe, a pipeline will
-form and they will be implemented one after the other in the order that they
-were accepted.
-
-#### Switch
-
-Once a block contains more than 2/3rd *precommits* where a common
-`SoftwareUpgradeProposal` is signaled, all the nodes (including validator
-nodes, non-validating full nodes and light-nodes) are expected to switch to the
-new version of the software.
-
-Validators and full nodes can use an automation tool, such as [Cosmovisor](https://docs.cosmos.network/main/tooling/cosmovisor), for automatically switching version of the chain.

 #### Burnable Params
 
 There are three parameters that define if the deposit of a proposal should be burned or returned to the depositors.
