## Routing
Ethermint needs to parse and handle transactions routed for both the EVM and for
the Cosmos hub. We attempt to achieve this by mimicking [Geth's](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum) `Transaction` structure to handle
Ethereum transactions and utilizing the SDK's `auth.StdTx` for Cosmos
transactions. Both of these structures are registered with an [Amino](https://github.com/tendermint/go-amino) codec, so the `TxDecoder` that in invoked
during the `BaseApp#runTx`, will be able to decode raw transaction bytes into the
appropriate transaction type which will then be passed onto handlers downstream.
the Cosmos hub. We attempt to achieve this by mimicking [Geth's](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum) `Transaction` structure and utilizing
the `Payload` as the potential encoding of a Cosmos-routed transaction. What
designates this encoding, and ultimately routing, is the `Recipient` address --
if this address matches some global unique predefined and configured address,
we regard it as a transaction meant for Cosmos, otherwise, the transaction is a
pure Ethereum transaction and will be executed in the EVM.
For Cosmos routed transactions, the `Transaction.Payload` will contain an [Amino](https://github.com/tendermint/go-amino) encoded embedded transaction that must
implement the `sdk.Tx` interface. Note, the embedding (outer) `Transaction` is
still RLP encoded in order to preserve compatibility with existing tooling. In
addition, at launch, Ethermint will only support the `auth.StdTx` embedded Cosmos
transaction type.
Being that Ethermint implements the Tendermint ABCI application interface, as
transactions are consumed, they are passed through a series of handlers. Once such
handler, `runTx`, is responsible for invoking the `TxDecoder` which performs the
business logic of properly deserializing raw transaction bytes into either an
Ethereum transaction or a Cosmos transaction.
__Note__: Our goal is to utilize Geth as a library, at least as much as possible,
so it should be expected that these types and the operations you may perform on
them will keep in line with Ethereum (e.g. signature algorithms and gas/fees).
In addition, we aim to have existing tooling and frameworks in the Ethereum
ecosystem have 100% compatibility with creating transactions in Ethermint.
## Transactions & Messages

Ethermint supports [EIP-155](https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/blob/master/EIPS/eip-155.md)
signatures. A `Transaction` is expected to have a single signature for Ethereum
routed transactions. However, just as in Cosmos, Ethermint will support multiple
signers for `auth.StdTx` Cosmos routed transactions. Signatures over the
`Transaction` type are identical to Ethereum. However, the `auth.StdTx` contains
signers for embedded Cosmos routed transactions. Signatures over the
`Transaction` type are identical to Ethereum. However, the embedded transaction contains
a canonical signature structure that contains the signature itself and other
information such as an account's sequence number. This, in addition to the chainID,
helps prevent "replay attacks", where the same message could be executed over and
over again.
An `auth.StdTx` list of signatures must much the unique list of addresses returned
by each message's `GetSigners` call. In addition, the address of first signer of
the `auth.StdTx` is responsible for paying the fees.
