Parameters

The Interchain Accounts module contains the following on-chain parameters, logically separated for each distinct submodule:

The Interchain Accounts module contains the following on-chain parameters, logically separated for each distinct submodule:

Controller Submodule Parameters

Key	Type	Default Value
ControllerEnabled	bool	true

ControllerEnabled

The ControllerEnabled parameter controls a chains ability to service ICS-27 controller specific logic. This includes the sending of Interchain Accounts packet data as well as the following ICS-26 callback handlers:

• OnChanOpenInit
• OnChanOpenAck
• OnChanCloseConfirm
• OnAcknowledgementPacket
• OnTimeoutPacket

Host Submodule Parameters

Key	Type	Default Value
HostEnabled	bool	true
AllowMessages	[]string	[]

HostEnabled

The HostEnabled parameter controls a chains ability to service ICS27 host specific logic. This includes the following ICS-26 callback handlers:

• OnChanOpenTry
• OnChanOpenConfirm
• OnChanCloseConfirm
• OnRecvPacket

AllowMessages

The AllowMessages parameter provides the ability for a chain to limit the types of messages or transactions that hosted interchain accounts are authorized to execute by defining an allowlist using the Protobuf message TypeURL format.

For example, a Cosmos SDK based chain that elects to provide hosted Interchain Accounts with the ability of governance voting and staking delegations will define its parameters as follows:

"params": {
  "host_enabled": true,
    "allow_messages": ["/cosmos.staking.v1beta1.MsgDelegate",
  "/cosmos.gov.v1beta1.MsgVote"]
}

There is also a special wildcard "*" message type which allows any type of message to be executed by the interchain account. This must be the only message in the allow_messages array.

"params": {
  "host_enabled": true,
    "allow_messages": ["*"]
}
