# List of Modules
|
|
|
|
Here are some production-grade modules that can be used in Cosmos SDK applications, along with their respective documentation:
|
|
|
|
## Essential Modules
|
|
|
|
Essential modules include functionality that _must_ be included in your Cosmos SDK blockchain.
|
|
These modules provide the core behaviors that are needed for users and operators such as balance tracking,
|
|
proof-of-stake capabilities and governance.
|
|
|
|
* [Auth](./auth/README.md) - Authentication of accounts and transactions for Cosmos SDK applications.
|
|
* [Bank](./bank/README.md) - Token transfer functionalities.
|
|
* [Consensus](./consensus/README.md) - Consensus module for modifying CometBFT's ABCI consensus params.
|
|
* [Distribution](./distribution/README.md) - Fee distribution, and staking token provision distribution.
|
|
* [Governance](./gov/README.md) - On-chain proposals and voting.
|
|
* [Genutil](./genutil/README.md) - Genesis utilities for the Cosmos SDK.
|
|
* [Mint](./mint/README.md) - Creation of new units of staking token.
|
|
* [Slashing](./slashing/README.md) - Validator punishment mechanisms.
|
|
* [Staking](./staking/README.md) - Proof-of-Stake layer for public blockchains.
|
|
* [Upgrade](./upgrade/README.md) - Software upgrades handling and coordination.
|
|
* [Evidence](./evidence/README.md) - Evidence handling for double signing, misbehaviour, etc.
|
|
|
|
## Supplementary Modules
|
|
|
|
Supplementary modules are modules that are maintained in the Cosmos SDK but are not necessary for
|
|
the core functionality of your blockchain. They can be thought of as ways to extend the
|
|
capabilities of your blockchain or further specialize it.
|
|
|
|
* [Authz](./authz/README.md) - Authorization for accounts to perform actions on behalf of other accounts.
|
|
* [Epochs](./epochs/README.md) - Registration so SDK modules can have logic to be executed at the timed tickers.
|
|
* [Feegrant](./feegrant/README.md) - Grant fee allowances for executing transactions.
|
|
* [ProtocolPool](./protocolpool/README.md) - Extended management of community pool functionality.
|
|
|
|
## Deprecated Modules
|
|
|
|
The following modules are deprecated. They will no longer be maintained actively.
|
|
|
|
* [Crisis](../contrib/x/crisis/README.md) - _Deprecated_ halting the blockchain under certain circumstances (e.g. if an invariant is broken).
|
|
* [Params](./params/README.md) - _Deprecated_ Globally available parameter store.
|
|
* [NFT](../contrib/x/nft/README.md) - _Deprecated_ NFT module implemented based on [ADR43](https://docs.cosmos.network/main/build/architecture/adr-043-nft-module).
|
|
* [Group](../contrib/x/group/README.md) - _Deprecated_ Allows for the creation and management of on-chain multisig accounts.
|
|
* [Circuit](../contrib/x/circuit/README.md) _Deprecated_ - Circuit breaker module for pausing messages.
|

To learn more about the process of building modules, visit the [building modules reference documentation](https://docs.cosmos.network/main/building-modules/intro).
|
|
|
|
## IBC
|
|
|
|
The IBC module for the SDK is maintained by the IBC Go team in its [own repository](https://github.com/cosmos/ibc-go).
|
|
|
|
Additionally, the [capability module](https://github.com/cosmos/ibc-go/tree/fdd664698d79864f1e00e147f9879e58497b5ef1/modules/capability) is from v0.50+ maintained by the IBC Go team in its [own repository](https://github.com/cosmos/ibc-go/tree/fdd664698d79864f1e00e147f9879e58497b5ef1/modules/capability).

|
## CosmWasm
|
|
|
|
The CosmWasm module enables smart contracts, learn more by going to their [documentation site](https://book.cosmwasm.com/), or visit [the repository](https://github.com/CosmWasm/cosmwasm).
|
|
|
|
## EVM
|
