 ### Improvements
 
+* [#14692](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/14692) Improve RPC queries error message when app is at height 0.
 * [#14609](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/14609) Add RetryForBlocks method to use in tests that require waiting for a transaction to be included in a block.
 * [#14017](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/14017) Simplify ADR-028 and `address.Module`.
     * This updates the [ADR-028](https://docs.cosmos.network/main/architecture/adr-028-public-key-addresses) and enhance the `address.Module` API to support module addresses and sub-module addresses in a backward compatible way.
