+<<<<<<< HEAD
+=======
+### Features
+
+* (cli) [#16887](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/16887) Add two new CLI commands: `tx simulate` for simulating a transaction; `query block-results` for querying CometBFT RPC for block results.

+>>>>>>> ca74dcce7 (feat: Add CLI commands: 1) simulate a transaction, 2) query block results (#16887))
 ### Improvements
 
 * (x/bank) [#16899](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/16899) Align CLI queries with gRPC queries thanks to AutoCLI.
