+Here we cover many aspects of handling keys within the Cosmos SDK framework.
+
+Pseudo Code
+-----------
+
+Generating an address for an ed25519 public key (in pseudo code):
+
+::
+
+    const TypeDistinguisher = HexToBytes("1624de6220")
+
+    // prepend the TypeDistinguisher as Bytes
+    SerializedBytes = TypeDistinguisher ++ PubKey.asBytes()
+
+    Address = ripemd160(SerializedBytes)
