What can CosmJS do for me?

How do I...

• Create various unsigned Cosmos Hub transactions?
• Sign an unsigned transaction when I have a mnemonic phrase? (12 word? 24 word?)
• Sign an unsigned transaction when I have a private key?
• Submit a signed transaction to a Cosmos Hub endpoint?
• Create a multi-sig signature on an unsigned transaction?
• Query state from a Cosmos Hub module using the legacy REST endpoint?
• Query state from a Cosmos Hub module using the gRPC endpoint?
• Query state from a custom module using the legacy REST endpoint?
• Query state from a custom module using the gRPC endpoint?
• Make it easier to submit multiple messages in a single transaction?

Calculating transaction IDs

If you have a list of complete transactions like this

{
  "txs": [

}

(from Cosmos Hub height 2421996), you can calculate a transaction ID like this:

import { Sha256 } from "@cosmjs/crypto";
import { fromBase64, toHex } from "@cosmjs/encoding";

const tx = "9AEoKBapCjCMTXENChQmiMbn/hEgc2noEV+vJkHASIhPShIUU7SyT3IQK/OJv+xZUz5LP9dR4FQKPpIdLk4KFCaIxuf+ESBzaegRX68mQcBIiE9KEhRTtLJPchAr84m/7FlTPks/11HgVBoMCgV1YXRvbRIDMTQ1EhAKCgoFdWF0b20SATAQ4KcSGmoKJuta6YchA9E/2C2Tibu+oguuOS2AwO9sGwy1ejes+u8hBdGJ2guiEkBZ7JjaZhENW56nbqaUH0SdgnuWHmPlPfgWs2LVwbOj6BDacUL+vcKqd4vxmkYRB9ORmqnDlj9ppaupmIPnOQuK";
const transactionHash = new Sha256(fromBase64(tx)).digest();
const transactionId = toHex(transactionHash).toUpperCase();
console.log(transactionId); // 697D4B1394AEFB95676E775236600D2A60FC87593114316DA4238EE0DEC1EC88

Deriving a Tendermint address from a consensus pubkey

Given a consensus pubkey like coralvalconspub1zcjduepqafdn8uprnsr35ptz653409ar3ft6uuu065f33f42fee67s67k3lqud5zqu, this derives an address in the Tendermint format. This is used e.g. in "proposer_address": "A8C66A16AC1FF07B390504D0DB211128440754F1" from /blockchain of Tendermint RPC.

import { Sha256 } from "@cosmjs/crypto";
import { fromBase64, toHex } from "@cosmjs/encoding";
import { decodeBech32Pubkey } from "@cosmjs/launchpad";

const pubkey = decodeBech32Pubkey(
  "coralvalconspub1zcjduepqafdn8uprnsr35ptz653409ar3ft6uuu065f33f42fee67s67k3lqud5zqu",
);
const addressData = new Sha256(fromBase64(pubkey.value)).digest().slice(0, 20);
const address = toHex(addressData).toUpperCase();
console.log(address); // 0C0A3D4E86CD4B104BF2972851647161074D1BB8
