CrossFi Transaction Messages Reference

This comprehensive guide describes all possible fields for transaction messages supported by CrossFi Chain. The platform integrates multiple modules from Cosmos SDK, Ethermint, and CrossFi-specific implementations.

Overview

CrossFi Chain supports multiple transaction message types across different modules:

• Cosmos Base: Fundamental coin operations
• Cosmos SDK Modules: Authz, Bank, Distribution, Gov, Feegrant, Staking, Slashing, Vesting
• Ethermint EVM: Ethereum-compatible transactions
• CrossFi Modules: Native CrossFi functionality

Total message types covered: 35+

Each message type includes:

• Complete parameter descriptions
• Field types and constraints
• Usage examples
• Failure conditions
