Genesis Documentation #1727

Open rigelrozanski opened 6 years ago

rigelrozanski commented 6 years ago

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.

For Admin Use

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

rigelrozanski commented 5 years ago

as discussed - this issue will not actually block launch

gamarin2 commented 5 years ago

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

jackzampolin commented 5 years ago

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.

I'll take it from there and begin to fix as I never have. Thx
