However, if modules are to handle type interfaces, module-level .proto files should define messages which encode interfaces
using [`google.protobuf.Any`](https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/blob/master/src/google/protobuf/any.proto).
However, if a module type composes an interface, it must wrap it in the `skd.Any` (from `/types` package) type. To do that, a module-level .proto file must use [`google.protobuf.Any`](https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/blob/master/src/google/protobuf/any.proto) for respective message type interface types.
For example, we can define `MsgSubmitEvidence` as follows where `Evidence` is
an interface:
For example, in the `x/evidence` module defines an `Evidence` interface, which is used by the `MsgSubmitEvidence`. The structure definition must use `sdk.Any` to wrap the evidence file. In the proto file we define it as follows:

The SDK provides support methods `MarshalAny` and `UnmarshalAny` to allow

The SDK `codec.Marshaler` interface provides support methods `MarshalInterface` and `UnmarshalInterface` to easy encoding of state to `Any`.
Module should register interfaces using `InterfaceRegistry` which provides a mechanism for registering interfaces: `RegisterInterface(protoName string, iface interface{})` and implementations: `RegisterImplementations(iface interface{}, impls ...proto.Message)` that can be safely unpacked from Any, similarly to type registration with Amino:
