 * (client) [#18101](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/18101) Add a `keyring-default-keyname` in `client.toml` for specifying a default key name, and skip the need to use the `--from` flag when signing transactions.
 * (tests) [#17868](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/17868) Added helper method `SubmitTestTx` in testutil to broadcast test txns to test e2e tests.
 * (x/protocolpool) [#17657](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/17657) Create a new `x/protocolpool` module that is responsible for handling community pool funds. This module is split out into a new module from x/distribution.
-* (baseapp) [#16581](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/16581) Implement Optimistic Execution as an experimental feature (not enabled by default).
 * (client/keys) [#17639](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/17639) Allows using and saving public keys encoded as base64
 * (client) [#17513](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/17513) Allow overwritting `client.toml`. Use `client.CreateClientConfig` in place of `client.ReadFromClientConfig` and provide a custom template and a custom config.
-* (x/bank) [#17569](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/17569) Introduce a new message type, `MsgBurn `, to burn coins.
+* (x/bank) [#17569](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/17569) Introduce a new message type, `MsgBurn`, to burn coins.
 * (server) [#17094](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/17094) Add duration `shutdown-grace` for resource clean up (closing database handles) before exit.
 * (x/auth/vesting) [#17810](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/17810) Add the ability to specify a start time for continuous vesting accounts.
-* (baseapp) [#18071](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/18071) Add hybrid handlers to `MsgServiceRouter`.
 
 ### Improvements
 
 * (x/gov) [#18189](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/18189) Limit the accepted deposit coins for a proposal to the minimum proposal deposit denoms.
 * (x/gov) [#18025](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/18025) Improve `<appd> q gov proposer` by querying directly a proposal instead of tx events. It is an alias of `q gov proposal` as the proposer is a field of the proposal.
-* (x/staking/keeper) [#18049](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/18049) return early if Slash encounters zero tokens to burn.
-* (x/staking/keeper) [#18035](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/18035) Hoisted out of the redelegation loop, the non-changing validator and delegator addresses parsing.
-* (keyring) [#17913](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/17913) Add `NewAutoCLIKeyring` for creating an AutoCLI keyring from a SDK keyring.
