 Cosmos SDK v0.40 introduced Protobuf as the main [encoding](./encoding) library, and this brings a wide range of Protobuf-based tools that can be plugged into the SDK. One such tool is [gRPC](https://grpc.io), a modern open source high performance RPC framework that has decent client support in several languages.

 If, for various reasons, you cannot use gRPC (for example, you are building a web application, and browsers don't support HTTP2 on which gRPC is built), then the SDK offers REST routes via gRPC-gateway.
 
-[gRPC-gateway](https://grpc-ecosystem.github.io/grpc-gateway/) is a tool to expose gRPC endpoints as REST endpoints. For each RPC endpoint defined in a Protobuf service, the SDK offers a REST equivalent.

 For application developers, gRPC-gateway REST routes needs to be wired up to the REST server, this is done by calling the `RegisterGRPCGatewayRoutes` function on the ModuleManager.
 
 ### Legacy REST API Routes
 
-The REST routes present in Cosmos SDK v0.39 and earlier are marked as deprecated via a [HTTP deprecation header](https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-dalal-deprecation-header-01.html). They are still maintained to keep backwards compatibility, but will be removed in v0.41. For updating from Legacy REST routes to new gRPC-gateway REST routes, please refer to our [migration guide](../migrations/rest.md).

+It is not possible to generate or sign a transaction using gRPC, only to broadcast one.

+### Broadcasting a Transaction
+
+Broadcasting a transaction using the gRPC endpoint can be done by sending a `BroadcastTx` request as follows, where the `txBytes` are the protobuf-encoded bytes of a signed transaction:

+```bash
