create transaction

A transaction draft is the first step before collecting signatures.

Snow-Fall helps you build a transaction, review it in plain language, lock the payload, collect signatures, finalize it, and broadcast it.

Supported Cosmos actions

The Cosmos MVP supports these operation types:

  • Send funds;
  • Delegate stake;
  • Undelegate stake;
  • Redelegate stake;
  • Withdraw staking rewards;
  • Governance vote;
  • Custom JSON for advanced users.
  • Step-by-step

    1. Open the Cosmos workspace.

    2. Go to transactions.

    3. Choose create transaction.

    4. Select the multisig.

    5. Select the action type.

    6. Fill in the required fields.

    7. Review the fee, gas, and memo.

    8. Create the transaction draft.

    9. Open the review screen before asking signers to sign.

    What every signer should review

    Before signing, every signer should verify:

  • chain name;
  • chain ID;
  • multisig address;
  • action type;
  • recipient address, validator address, or proposal ID;
  • amount;
  • denom;
  • fee;
  • gas limit;
  • memo;
  • payload hash.
  • Payload hash

    The payload hash is a stable fingerprint of the signing payload.

    It helps signers confirm that everyone is signing the same transaction. If the transaction changes, the payload hash changes.

    After the first signature, the payload is locked. To change the transaction, create a new draft and collect signatures again.

    Fees and gas

    Fees and gas are part of the transaction that signers approve.

    Review them carefully. A wrong fee can make a transaction fail, while an unexpectedly high fee should be investigated before signing.

    Memo

    The memo is optional but can be useful for internal tracking.

    Do not put private information in the memo. It may become visible on-chain.

    Custom JSON warning

    Custom JSON is for advanced users.

    Only sign custom messages when you understand the message type and every field. Use the advanced details section to review the full raw content.
