 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## Features
+
+* (x/evidence) [#15908](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/15908) Update the equivocation handler to work with ICS by removing a pubkey check that was performing a no-op for consumer chains.
+* (x/slashing) [#15908](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/15908) Remove the validators' pubkey check in the signature handler in order to work with ICS.
+
 ## Improvements
 
 * (store) [#15683](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/15683) `rootmulti.Store.CacheMultiStoreWithVersion` now can handle loading archival states that don't persist any of the module stores the current state has.
