+#### SDK Changelog
+
+The Namada SDK is exposed to any developer building upon Namada. Thus, any change made to a public facing function is a breaking change, and therefore should be documented in the Changelog under the `SDK` section.
+
+The message should outline the exact API change, along with a small section describing *how* and *why* the componenet was change. This should give motivation and context to any developer building upon Namada on how they can update their code to the next version.
+
 ## Development priorities
 
+
 If you’d like to follow the development or contribute with new or unimplemented features, we recommend to check [the issues](https://github.com/anoma/namada/issues) that are in current focus of the ledger team.
