+
+# Errors
+
+Modules are encouraged to define and register their own errors to provide better
+context on failed message or handler execution. Typically, these errors should be
+common or general errors which can be further wrapped to provide additional specific
+execution context.
+
+## Registration
+
+Modules should define and register their custom errors in `x/{module}/types/errors.go`. Registration
+of errors is handled via the `types/errors` package.
+
+Example:
+
++++ https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/blob/v0.38.1/x/distribution/types/errors.go#L1-L21
+
+Each custom module error must provide the codespace, which is typically the module name
+(e.g. "distribution") and is unique per module, and a uint32 code. Together, the codespace and code
+provide a globally unique SDK error. Typically, the code is monotonically increasing but does not
+necessarily have to be. The only restrictions on error codes are the following:
+
+* Must be greater than one, as a code value of one is reserved for internal errors.
+* Must be unique within the module.
+
+Note, the SDK provides a core set of *common* errors. These errors are defined in `types/errors/errors.go`.
+
+## Wrapping
+
+The custom module errors can be returned as their concrete type as they already fulfill the `error`
+interface. However, module errors can be wrapped to provide further context and meaning to failed
+execution.
+
+Example:
+
++++ https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/blob/v0.38.1/x/distribution/keeper/querier.go#L62-L80
+
+Regardless if an error is wrapped or not, the SDK's `errors` package provides an API to determine if
+an error is of a particular kind via `Is`.
+
+## ABCI
+
+If a module error is registered, the SDK `errors` package allows ABCI information to be extracted
+through the `ABCIInfo` API. The package also provides `ResponseCheckTx` and `ResponseDeliverTx` as
+auxiliary APIs to automatically get `CheckTx` and `DeliverTx` responses from an error.
