 * (x/bank) [\#8434](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/8434) Fix legacy REST API `GET /bank/total` and `GET /bank/total/{denom}` in swagger
 * (x/slashing) [\#8427](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/8427) Fix query signing infos command
 * (x/bank) [\#9229](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/9229) Now zero coin balances cannot be added to balances & supply stores. If any denom becomes zero corresponding key gets deleted from store.
+* (types) [\#9511](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/9511) Change `maxBitLen` of `sdk.Int` and `sdk.Dec`  to handle max ERC20 value.
