When reading this ADR, I was confused about _denomination_. When reading this in context of tokens I always think about a unit / measure. Examples: bills denominated in $20 and $50. Or as 100 cents makes 1 dollar. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines [denomination](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/denomination) as: 1. an act of denominating. Eg: the denomination of prices in U.S. dollars 2. a value or size of a series of values or sizes. Eg: metric denominations 3. name, designation especially : a general name for a category It seams that we are using the last definition (3rd).

Architecture Decision Records (ADR)
This is a location to record all high-level architecture decisions in the Cosmos-SDK.
You can read more about the ADR concept in this blog post.
An ADR should provide:
- Context on the relevant goals and the current state
- Proposed changes to achieve the goals
- Summary of pros and cons
- References
- Changelog
Note the distinction between an ADR and a spec. The ADR provides the context, intuition, reasoning, and justification for a change in architecture, or for the architecture of something new. The spec is much more compressed and streamlined summary of everything as it stands today.
If recorded decisions turned out to be lacking, convene a discussion, record the new decisions here, and then modify the code to match.
Note the context/background should be written in the present tense.
