# Cosmos Appchain

Cosmos Appchains like Osmosis and Sei support the following signature `kinds`:

* `SignDocDirect`, serialized sign doc for [sign mode direct](https://docs.cosmos.network/main/learn/advanced/transactions#sign_mode_direct-preferred).

## SignDocDirect

Signs an unsigned transaction using SIGN\_MODE\_DIRECT.

| Field            | Description                                        | Type - Optional |
| ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------- | --------------- |
| `blockchainKind` | `Cosmos`                                           | String          |
| `kind`           | `SignDocDirect`                                    | String          |
| `signDoc`        | The hex encoded `SignDoc` Protobuf as shown below. | String          |

### Typescript Example with CosmJS SDK <a href="#typescript-example" id="typescript-example"></a>

First install the CosmJS SDK. You can find the full documentation here: <https://cosmos.github.io/cosmjs/>

Here a code sample to generate a signature via [the Dfns TypeScript SDK](https://github.com/dfns/dfns-sdk-ts):

```typescript
const client = await Comet38Client.create(new HttpClient(process.env.OSMOSIS_NODE_URL!))
const queryClient = QueryClient.withExtensions(cometClient, setupAuthExtension)

const body: TxBodyEncodeObject = {
  typeUrl: '/cosmos.tx.v1beta1.TxBody',
  value: {
    messages: [
      {
        typeUrl: '/cosmos.bank.v1beta1.MsgSend',
        value: {
          fromAddress: address,
          toAddress: to,
          amount: coins(1, 'uosmo'),
        },
      },
    ],
    memo,
  },
}

const account = await context.queryClient.auth.account(address)
const { sequence, accountNumber } = accountFromAny(account)

const authInfoBytes = makeAuthInfoBytes(
  [
    {
      pubkey: encodePubkey(encodeSecp256k1Pubkey(Buffer.from(publicKey, 'hex'))),
      sequence,
    },
  ],
  '100',
  Int53.fromString(fee.gas).toNumber(),
  undefined,
  undefined
)

const signDoc = makeSignDoc(context.registry.encode(body), authInfoBytes, 'osmo-test-5', accountNumber)

const res = await dfnsClient.wallets.generateSignature({
  walletId,
  body: {
    kind: 'SignDocDirect',
    signDoc: `0x${Buffer.from(makeSignBytes(doc)).toString('hex')}`,
  },
})
```

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs-legacy.dfns.co/d/api-docs/keys/generate-signature/cosmos.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
