# Transactions
|
|
|
|
## 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 and treat it as a unique Cosmos SDK message type. An Ethereum transaction is a single
|
|
[`sdk.Msg`](https://godoc.org/github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/types#Msg) contained in an
|
|
[`auth.StdTx`](https://godoc.org/github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/x/auth#StdTx). All relevant Ethereum
|
|
transaction information is contained in this message. This includes the signature, gas, payload,
|
|
etc.
|
|
|
|
Being that Ethermint implements the Tendermint ABCI application interface, as transactions are
|
|
consumed, they are passed through a series of handlers. Once such handler, the `AnteHandler`, is
|
|
responsible for performing preliminary message execution business logic such as fee payment,
|
|
signature verification, etc. This is particular to Cosmos SDK routed transactions. Ethereum routed
|
|
transactions will bypass this as the EVM handles the same business logic.
|
|
|
|
Ethereum routed transactions coming from a web3 source are expected to be RLP encoded, however all
|
|
internal interaction between Ethermint and Tendermint will utilize one of the supported encoding
|
|
formats: Protobuf, Amino or Hybrid of the previous two.

## Signatures
|
|
|
|
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 non-Ethereum transactions.
|
|
Signatures over the `Transaction` type are identical to Ethereum and the signatures will not be
|
|
duplicated in the embedding
|
|
[`auth.StdTx`](https://godoc.org/github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/x/auth#StdTx).
