Auth

Auth#
Important
Terra’s auth module inherits from Cosmos SDK’s auth module. This document is a stub and covers mainly important Terra-specific notes about how it is used.
Terra’s Auth module extends the functionality from Cosmos SDK’s auth module with a modified ante handler, which applies basic transaction validity checks, such as signatures, nonces, and auxiliary fields. This module also defines a special vesting account type that handles the logic for token vesting from the Luna presale.
Gas Fee#
Like all transactions on the Terra blockchain, MsgSend and MsgMultiSend incur gas fees. These fees are determined by a validator’s minimum gas price and the complexity of the transaction. More complex transactions incur higher fees. Gas fees are specified by the sender when a transaction is outbound. For more information on how gas is calculated, see fees.
Parameters#
The subspace for the Auth module is auth.
type Params struct {
MaxMemoCharacters uint64 `json:"max_memo_characters" yaml:"max_memo_characters"`

}
MaxMemoCharacters#
The maximum permitted number of characters in the memo of a transaction.
type:
uint64default:
256
TxSigLimit#
The maximum number of signers in a transaction. A single transaction can have multiple messages and multiple signers. Because the sig verification cost is generally higher than other operations, the number of signers is limited to 100.
type:
uint64default:
100
TxSizeCostPerByte#
The cost per byte used to compute the gas consumption of a transaction. TxSizeCostPerByte * txsize.
type:
uint64default:
10
