+# ADR Creation Process
+
+1. Copy the `adr-template.md` file. Use the following filename pattern: `adr-next_number-title.md`
+2. Create a draft Pull Request if you want to get an early feedback.
+3. Make sure the context and a solution is clear and well documented.
+4. Add an entry to a list in the [README](./README.md) file.
+5. Create a Pull Request to propose a new ADR.
+
+## ADR life cycle
+
+ADR creation is an **iterative** process. Instead of trying to solve all decisions in a single ADR pull request, we MUST firstly understand the problem and collect feedback through a GitHub Issue.
+
+1. Every proposal SHOULD start with a new GitHub Issue or be a result of existing Issues. The Issue should contain just a brief proposal summary.
+
+2. Once the motivation is validated, a GitHub Pull Request (PR) is created with a new document based on the `adr-template.md`.
+
+3. An ADR doesn't have to arrive to `master` with an _accepted_ status in a single PR. If the motivation is clear and the solution is sound, we SHOULD be able to merge it and keep a _proposed_ status. It's preferable to have an iterative approach rather than long, not merged Pull Requests.
+
+4. If a _proposed_ ADR is merged, then it should clearly document outstanding issues either in ADR document notes or in a GitHub Issue.
+
+5. The PR SHOULD always be merged. In the case of a faulty ADR, we still prefer to  merge it with a _rejected_ status. The only time the ADR SHOULD NOT be merged is if the author abandons it.
+
+6. Merged ADRs SHOULD NOT be pruned.
+
+### ADR status
+
+Status has two components:
+
+```
+{CONSENSUS STATUS} {IMPLEMENTATION STATUS}
+```
+
+IMPLEMENTATION STATUS is either `Implemented` or `Not Implemented`.
+
+#### Consensus Status
+
+```
+DRAFT -> PROPOSED -> LAST CALL yyyy-mm-dd -> ACCEPTED | REJECTED -> SUPERSEEDED by ADR-xxx
+                  \        |
+                   \       |
+                    v      v
+                     ABANDONED
+```
+
++ `DRAFT`: [optional] an ADR which is work in progress, not being ready for a general review. This is to present an early work and get an early feedback in a Draft Pull Request form.
++ `PROPOSED`: an ADR covering a full solution architecture and still in the review - project stakeholders haven't reached an agreed yet.
++ `LAST CALL <date for the last call>`: [optional] clear notify that we are close to accept updates. Changing a status to `LAST CALL` means that social consensus (of Juno maintainers) has been reached and we still want to give it a time to let the community react or analyze.
++ `ACCEPTED`: ADR which will represent a currently implemented or to be implemented architecture design.
++ `REJECTED`: ADR can go from PROPOSED or ACCEPTED to rejected if the consensus among project stakeholders will decide so.
++ `SUPERSEEDED by ADR-xxx`: ADR which has been superseded by a new ADR.
++ `ABANDONED`: the ADR is no longer pursued by the original authors.
+
+## Language used in ADR
+
++ The context/background should be written in the present tense.
++ Avoid using a first, personal form.

+# Architecture Decision Records (ADR)
+
+This is a location to record all high-level architecture decisions in Juno.
+
+An Architectural Decision (**AD**) is a software design choice that addresses a functional or non-functional requirement that is architecturally significant.
+An Architecturally Significant Requirement (**ASR**) is a requirement that has a measurable effect on a software system’s architecture and quality.
+An Architectural Decision Record (**ADR**) captures a single AD, such as often done when writing personal notes or meeting minutes; the collection of ADRs created and maintained in a project constitute its decision log. All these are within the topic of Architectural Knowledge Management (AKM).
+
+You can read more about the ADR concept in this [blog post](https://product.reverb.com/documenting-architecture-decisions-the-reverb-way-a3563bb24bd0#.78xhdix6t).
+
+## Rationale
+
+ADRs are intended to be the primary mechanism for proposing new feature designs and new processes, for collecting community input on an issue, and for documenting the design decisions.
+An ADR should provide:
+
+- Context on the relevant goals and the current state
+- Proposed changes to achieve the goals
+- Summary of pros and cons
+- References
+- Changelog
+
+Note the distinction between an ADR and a spec. The ADR provides the context, intuition, reasoning, and
+justification for a change in architecture, or for the architecture of something
+new. The spec is much more compressed and streamlined summary of everything as
+it stands today.
+
+If recorded decisions turned out to be lacking, convene a discussion, record the new decisions here, and then modify the code to match.
+
+## Creating new ADR
+
+Read about the [PROCESS](./PROCESS.md).
+
+#### Use RFC 2119 Keywords
+
+When writing ADRs, follow the same best practices for writing RFCs. When writing RFCs, key words are used to signify the requirements in the specification. These words are often capitalized: "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL. They are to be interpreted as described in [RFC 2119](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2119).

+# ADR-001: General parser architecture
+
+
+## Changelog
+
+- March 11th, 2024: Init draft;
+- March 13th, 2024: First draft;    
+
+## Status
+
+PROPOSED
+
+## Abstract
+
+This ADR outlines the general parser architecture designed for Juno, addressing the need for enhanced interfaces to support various chains.
+
+## Context
+
+Juno currently lacks the necessary architecture documents and interfaces to effectively support multiple chains. Additionally, it faces challenges in handling messages and transactions, especially when dealing with different blockchain protocols and versions. There is a pressing need to establish a robust and adaptable architecture that can accommodate the diverse requirements of various chains while maintaining efficiency and reliability. 
+
+## Decision
+
+To address these challenges, the decision is made to redesign Juno's parser architecture. The architecture will prioritize modularity and extensibility, allowing seamless integration with different blockchain networks and protocols. Key components such as enqueuers, workers, and modules will be defined with clear responsibilities and interfaces to facilitate easy extension and customization. Moreover, the architecture will incorporate mechanisms to handle transactions, messages, and other blockchain operations efficiently.
+
+The provided image offer a comprehensive overview of the Juno parser, detailing its core components and functionalities.
+
+![Architecture](../.img/adr-001-general-architecture.png)
+
+Let's break down each element briefly by following topics.
+
+### Context
+
+The Context interface acts as a central hub shared among all elements within the parser, including enqueuers, workers, and other components.
+
+```go
+type Context interface {
+    // Context represents the manager for the concurrent jobs
+    context.Context
+
+    // Database returns the database used to operate blocks by workers
+    Database() Database
+
+    // Node returns the client used to listen to blocks by enqueuers
+    Node() Node
+
+    // Modules returns a set of the extensional operations that should be executed inside a worker
+    Modules() []Module
+}
+```
+
+### Block
+
+The Block interface serves as a representation of the aggregation of operations on the blockchain and is the fundamental element transferred within the queue for parsing by workers within Juno.
+
+```go
+type Block interface {
+    // Height returns the height of the block.
+    Height() uint64
+
+    // Hash returns the hash of the block.
+    Hash() string
+
+    // Timestamp returns the timestamp of the block.
+    Timestamp() time.Time
+
+    // Proposer returns the address of the block proposer.
+    Proposer() string
+}
+```
+
+### Enqueuer
+
+The Enqueuer interface orchestrates the process of listening for available blocks and enqueueing them into the queue for parsing by workers.
+
+In the current version, two types of enqueuers are implemented:
+
+* Missing Blocks Enqueuer: This enqueuer queries missing blocks from the given start block to the current latest block and enqueues them into the queue.
+* New Blocks Enqueuer: This enqueuer listens for new blocks from the node and enqueues them into the queue.
+
+```go
+type Enqueuer interface {
+    // ListenAndEnqueueBlocks listens for available blocks and enqueues them into the queue.
+    ListenAndEnqueueBlocks(ctx Context, queue BlockQueue) (err error)
+}
+```
+
+### Block Queue
+
+The BlockQueue interface serves as a communication channel between enqueuers and workers within the Juno architecture.
+
+```go
+type BlockQueue interface {
+    // Enqueue enqueues a block into the queue.
+    Enqueue(block Block)
+
+    // Listen returns a channel to listen for blocks.
+    Listen() <-chan Block
+}
+```
+
+### Node
+
+The Node interface serves as an abstraction layer for interacting with RPC servers or other clients to obtain block data efficiently.
+
+```go
+type Node interface {
+    // LatestBlock retrieves the latest block from the connected node.
+    LatestBlock() Block
+
+    // SubscribeBlocks returns a channel to subscribe to new blocks from the connected node.
+    SubscribeBlocks() <-chan Block
+}
+```
+
+### Database
+
+The Database interface encapsulates the necessary operations for interacting with the underlying storage system.
+
+```go
+type Database interface {
+    // SaveBlock saves a block into the database.
+    SaveBlock() error
+
+    // LatestBlock returns the latest block from the database.
+    LatestBlock() (Block, error)
+}
+```
+
+### Worker
+
+The Worker interface defines the functionality for parsing blocks from the queue within Juno's parser architecture.
+
+```go
+type Worker interface {
+    // Start starts the worker to parse blocks from the queue.
+    Start(ctx Context, queue BlockQueue)
+}
+```
+
+### Scheduler
+
+The Scheduler interface facilitates the execution of periodic operations within Juno's parser architecture.
+
+```go
+type PeriodicOperationsModule interface {
+	// RegisterPeriodicOperations allows to register all the operations that will be run on a periodic basis.
+	// The given scheduler can be used to define the periodicity of each task.
+	// NOTE. This method will only be run ONCE during the module initialization.
+	RegisterPeriodicOperations(scheduler Scheduler) error
+}
+
+type Scheduler interface {
+    // Register registers a periodic operations module.
+    Register(module PeriodicOperationsModule)
+
+    // Start starts the scheduler.
+    Start(ctx Context)
+}
+```
+
+### Module
+
+The Module interface serves as the foundation for defining and extending functionality within Juno's parser architecture.
+
+Within Juno, a fundamental module called BlockModule is provided, dedicated to handling blocks.
+
+Additionally, developers have the flexibility to create custom modules tailored to specific business requirements, such as TransactionModule, GovModule, and others.
+
+```go
+type Module interface {
+    // Name returns the name of the module.
+    Name() string
+}
+
+type BlockModule interface {
+    // HandleBlock handles a block parsed by workers.
+    HandleBlock(block Block) error
+}
+```
+
+### Additional operator
+
+The Additional Operator interface provides functionality for executing additional operations on a additional basis within Juno's parser architecture.
+
+Currently, we utilize the additional operation module to host a Prometheus server.
+
+```go
+type AdditionalOperationModule interface {
+    // RegisterAdditionalOperation allows to register the operation that will be run on a periodic basis.
+	// The given scheduler can be used to define the periodicity of each task.
+	// NOTE. This method will only be run ONCE during the module initialization.
+    RegisterAdditionalOperation(operator AdditionalOperator) error
+}
+
+type AdditionalOperator interface {
+    // Register registers an additional operation module.
+    Register(module AdditionalOperationModule)
+
+    // Start starts the additional operator.
+    Start(ctx Context)
+}
+```
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Backwards Compatibility
+
+The decision to redesign Juno's parser architecture is not backwards compatible, as the current implementation only supports Cosmos SDK chains. The introduction of a new architecture with enhanced interfaces may require adjustments to existing codebases and integrations. However, this trade-off is necessary to accommodate the future expansion of Juno to support a wider range of blockchain networks beyond Cosmos SDK chains. Despite the lack of backwards compatibility, the long-term benefits of the redesigned architecture justify the need for this transition.
+
+### Positive
+
+* Improved Flexibility: The redesigned architecture will enable Juno to support a wider range of blockchain networks and adapt to evolving protocols more effectively.
+* Enhanced Scalability: With a modular and extensible design, Juno will be better equipped to handle increasing volumes of transactions and messages from multiple chains.
+
+
+### Negative
+
+* Increased Development Complexity: Implementing a more sophisticated architecture may require additional development effort and resources.
+* Potential Performance Overhead: Depending on the implementation, there may be a slight performance overhead associated with the modular design. However, this is outweighed by the benefits of improved flexibility and scalability.
