 ### API Breaking Changes
 
+* (types) [#16272](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/16272) From now the `FeeGranter` in the `FeeTx` interface takes the byte type instead of string. 
 * (testutil) [#16899](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/16899) The *cli testutil* `QueryBalancesExec` has been removed. Use the gRPC or REST query instead.
 * (x/auth) [#16650](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/16650) The *cli testutil* `QueryAccountExec` has been removed. Use the gRPC or REST query instead.
 * (types/math) [#16040](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/16798) Remove aliases in `types/math.go` (part 2).
