+[ADR36] is a standard within the Cosmos ecosystem that defines the structure of
+signing arbitrary data for Cosmos SDK-based chains. It enables users to
+authenticate and authorize actions by signing messages off-chain using their
+private keys. The signed messages can be verified on-chain or off-chain,
+ensuring that actions are genuinely initiated by the holder.
