+# Chainmanager module
+
+This document specifies an overview of the chain manager module of Heimdall.
+
+## Overview
+
+The chainmanager module is responsible for fetching the PoS protocol parameters. These params include addresses of contracts deployed on mainchain (Ethereum) and borchain (Bor), chain ids, mainchain and borchain confirmation blocks.
+
+```protobuf
+message ChainParams {
+  option (gogoproto.equal) = true;
+  string bor_chain_id = 1 [ (amino.dont_omitempty) = true ];
+  string heimdall_chain_id = 2 [ (amino.dont_omitempty) = true ];
+  string pol_token_address = 3 [ (amino.dont_omitempty) = true ];
+  string staking_manager_address = 4 [ (amino.dont_omitempty) = true ];
+  string slash_manager_address = 5 [ (amino.dont_omitempty) = true ];
+  string root_chain_address = 6 [ (amino.dont_omitempty) = true ];
+  string staking_info_address = 7 [ (amino.dont_omitempty) = true ];
+  string state_sender_address = 8 [ (amino.dont_omitempty) = true ];
+  string state_receiver_address = 9 [ (amino.dont_omitempty) = true ];
+  string validator_set_address = 10 [ (amino.dont_omitempty) = true ];
+}
+
+message Params {
+  option (gogoproto.equal) = true;
+  ChainParams chain_params = 1
+  [ (amino.dont_omitempty) = true, (gogoproto.nullable) = false ];
+  uint64 main_chain_tx_confirmations = 2 [ (amino.dont_omitempty) = true ];
+  uint64 bor_chain_tx_confirmations = 3 [ (amino.dont_omitempty) = true ];
+}
+```
+
+## Query commands
+
+One can run the following query commands from the chainmanager module :
+
+* `params` - Fetch the parameters associated to chainmanager module.
+
+### CLI commands
+
+```bash
+heimdalld query chainmanager params
+```
+
+### GRPC Endpoints
+
+```bash
+grpcurl -plaintext -d '{}' localhost:9090 heimdallv2.chainmanager.Query/GetChainManagerParams
+
+```
+
+### REST endpoints
+
+```bash
+curl localhost:1317/heimdallv2/chainmanager/params

+# Heimdall v2 changes compared to v1
+
+There are a number of differences between Heimdall v1 to v2. These changes are outlined below:
+
+## Encoding changes to Base64
+
+Data encoding format has been changed from Hex encoded to Base64 coded, for example:
+
+Hex encoded: `BJSk2KCI4snP2Cw/ntDdgp8R25XJ2xg18KL67fyEAwgtPMpeq5APSUHrkv5wtgrFfpmcDivnP8HPGufyyXnByxo=`
+Base64 encoded: `0x0494a4d8a088e2c9cfd82c3f9ed0dd829f11db95c9db1835f0a2faedfc8403082d3cca5eab900f4941eb92fe70b60ac57e999c0e2be73fc1cf1ae7f2c979c1cb1a`
+
+## Validator signing key
+In Heimdall v2, validator signing keys must be imported into the keyring for transaction signing. For details of keyring, refer to the Cosmos SDK documentation here (https://docs.cosmos.network/v0.46/run-node/keyring.html)
+
+From the Cosmos documentation:
+
+>The keyring holds the private/public keypairs used to interact with a node. For instance, >a validator key needs to be set up before running the blockchain node, so that blocks can >be correctly signed. The private key can be stored in different locations, called >"backends", such as a file or the operating system's own key storage.
+
+### How to use Keyring
+
+Instructions on how to import your validator private key into the keyring and use it to sign transactions.
+
+Get your `base64` encoded private key from:
+```cat /var/lib/heimdall/config/priv_validator_key.json```
+
+Convert the `base64` encoded key to hex encoded key:
+```echo "<PRIVATE_KEY_BASE64_ENCODED>" | base64 -d | xxd -p -c 256```
+
+Import the `hex` encoded key to your keyring:
+```heimdalld keys import-hex <KEY_NAME> <PRIVATE_KEY_HEX_ENCODED> --home <HOME_DIR_PATH>```
+
+When you first import a key into the keyring, you will be prompted for a password, which will be used every time you sign a transaction.
+
+When running a `tx` command, just specify the `--from` argument, by using the name of the key you have set above. Example:
+```heimdalld tx gov vote 1 yes --from <KEY_NAME>```
+
+## Vote extension in each block
+
+In Heimdall v2, the first transaction of each block will contain the encoded vote extensions. To decode these, use the additional command in `heimdallld`
