A good stress test, have as many people review this as possible and see if the proposed changes make sense 👍

we can provide a gRPC/REST endpoint that allows for generic app-independent transaction submission.

I don't understand what this means. Are you referring to a type to be used to generate a JSON blob which when provided to /tx/broadcast will be JSON decoded and then re-encoded using the app-specific tx encoding scheme?

It's not json, it's protobuf via gRPC. Basically this AnyTransaction type which is not app dependent

And yes, the rpc endpoint would re-encode this in the app level transaction that uses a oneof

It's not json, it's protobuf via gRPC

This makes sense. But in this case, isn't the term "REST" in "we can provide a gRPC/REST endpoint" misleading in this paragraph? I mean RPC and REST are entirely different API concepts and when creating a bridge from REST to gRPC, it would require more explanation.

I still don't follow this @aaronc. I think it can be made more clear or explicit.

I will remove the part about REST here and just say gRPC because REST refers to grpc-gateway and that's a separate topic.

It's not clear to me what purpose AnyTransaction serves apart from being used during tx signing. How does this fit into tx generation and broadcasting?

Are you stating that module tx endpoints will generate tx JSON blobs using AnyTransaction. Will these JSON blobs then be fed to /tx/broadcast, where they're JSON decoded and then Proto re-encoded?

Please make this very clear.

This should be SignDoc+signatures, i.e. a signed transaction in an application agnostic container.

Yes AnyTransaction can be used for tx broadcasting. It is related to SignDoc but not quite the same. This is basically the same exact design that we currently have with amino. It just involves a re-encoding step to translate Any to the oneof's

What would be the alternative to using StdTxBase? Signatures need to go somewhere. Even slightly changing this type probably has a lot of consequences. Right now the sentence sounds like you can just drop StdTxBase.

I think this is intended to imply that apps can override the std behavior
