The auth module is responsible for the authentication of accounts and transactions and specifies the base transaction and account types. It contains the middlewares, where all basic transaction validity checks (signatures, nonces, auxiliary fields) are performed, and exposes the account keeper, which allows other modules to read, write, and modify accounts. For more information, visit https://docs.cosmos.network/main/modules/auth/
