Cosmos-sdk: Genesis Documentation

Created on 18 Jul 2018  路  6Comments  路  Source: cosmos/cosmos-sdk

Realized that we don't have much in the way of genesis documentation - it would be great to have a genesis spec outlining what the format of the genesis files, and details of processing genesis information. Should also split up information into relevant modules.

docs genesis spec

All 6 comments

There exist standard JSON schema formats (e.g. this), might be nice to use one of those.

Tendermint docs already (partially) documents genesis: https://tendermint.com/docs/tendermint-core/using-tendermint.html#initialize

I'll take it from there and extend it

@alessio bump on this

as discussed - this issue will not actually _block_ launch

This https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/3835 should be part of this concept doc

It looks like we have most of this in the improved module specs. All it would take is a section that explains the params as also being in the genesis file.
