Cosmos-SDK Plugins

This package contains an extensible plugin system for the Cosmos-SDK. The plugin system leverages the hashicorp/go-plugin system. This system is designed to work over RPC.

Although the go-plugin is built to work over RPC, it is currently only designed to work over a local network.

Pre requisites

For an overview of supported features by the go-plugin system, please see https://github.com/hashicorp/go-plugin. The go-plugin documentation is located here. You can also directly visit any of the links below:

Exposing plugins

To expose plugins to the plugin system, you will need to:

1. Implement the gRPC message protocol service of the plugin
2. Build the plugin binary
3. Export it

Read the plugin documentation in the Streaming Plugins section for examples on how to build a plugin.
