 ### Bug Fixes
 
+* (types) [\#7084](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/7084) Fix panic when calling `BigInt()` on an uninitialized `Int`.
 * (x/bank) [\#6536](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/6536) Fix bug in `WriteGeneratedTxResponse` function used by multiple 
 REST endpoints. Now it writes a Tx in StdTx format.
 * (x/staking) [\#6529](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/6529) Export validator addresses (previously was empty).
