The realm namespace is part of the Package Path, which is internally mapped to a contract account address on the chain. It is also part of the service endpoint for the front-end or off-chain services.

The contract admins control smart contract logic and can upgrade contact and modify the state.

For other chains out there, using the smart contract to manage (gov) chain parameters is not a design choice but a workaround for VM and chain design limitations. But in Cosmos-SDK-Based GVM, we don't have such constraints.

If we model the Gnoland chain as a github with run time and transparent state transition in the cloud instead of a sudo managed computer, we might want to avoid using realm contract (r/system) to manage the parameters of the chain
