EndBlock is run after transaction execution completes. It allows developers to have logic be executed at the end of each block. In the Cosmos SDK, the bulk EndBlock() method is to run the application's EndBlocker(), which mainly runs the EndBlocker() method of each of the application's modules.

In this `Profile` example, we hardcoded `account` as a `BaseAccount`. However, there are several other types of [user accounts related to vesting](https://docs.cosmos.network/main/build/modules/auth/vesting), such as `BaseVestingAccount` or `ContinuousVestingAccount`. All of these accounts are different, but they all implement the `AccountI` interface. How would you create a `Profile` that allows all these types of accounts with an `account` field that accepts an `AccountI` interface?

In [ADR-019](../../architecture/adr-019-protobuf-state-encoding.md), it has been decided to use [`Any`](https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/blob/master/src/google/protobuf/any.proto)s to encode interfaces in protobuf. An `Any` contains an arbitrary serialized message as bytes, along with a URL that acts as a globally unique identifier for and resolves to that message's type. This strategy allows us to pack arbitrary Go types inside protobuf messages. Our new `Profile` then looks like:

To summarize, to encode an interface, you must 1/ pack the interface into an `Any` and 2/ marshal the `Any`. For convenience, the Cosmos SDK provides a `MarshalInterface` method to bundle these two steps. Have a look at [a real-life example in the x/auth module](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/blob/v0.50.0-alpha.0/x/auth/keeper/keeper.go#L240-L243).

The reverse operation of retrieving the concrete Go type from inside an `Any`, called "unpacking", is done with the `GetCachedValue()` on `Any`.

## gRPC Server

In the Cosmos SDK, Protobuf is the main [encoding](https://docs.cosmos.network/main/learn/advanced/encoding) library. This brings a wide range of Protobuf-based tools that can be plugged into the Cosmos 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.
In the Cosmos SDK, Protobuf is the main [encoding](./05-encoding.md) library. This brings a wide range of Protobuf-based tools that can be plugged into the Cosmos 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.

Each module exposes a [Protobuf `Query` service](../../build/building-modules/02-messages-and-queries.md#queries) that defines state queries. The `Query` services and a transaction service used to broadcast transactions are hooked up to the gRPC server via the following function inside the application:

```go reference
https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/blob/v0.50.0-alpha.0/server/types/app.go#L46-L48
https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/blob/v0.52.0-beta.2/server/types/app.go#L45-L47
```

Note: It is not possible to expose any [Protobuf `Msg` service](../../build/building-modules/02-messages-and-queries.md#messages) endpoints via gRPC. Transactions must be generated and signed using the CLI or programmatically before they can be broadcasted using gRPC. See [Generating, Signing, and Broadcasting Transactions](https://docs.cosmos.network/main/user/run-node/txs) for more information.

[gRPC-gateway](https://grpc-ecosystem.github.io/grpc-gateway/) is a tool to expose gRPC endpoints as REST endpoints. For each gRPC endpoint defined in a Protobuf `Query` service, the Cosmos SDK offers a REST equivalent. For instance, querying a balance could be done via the `/cosmos.bank.v1beta1.QueryAllBalances` gRPC endpoint, or alternatively via the gRPC-gateway `"/cosmos/bank/v1beta1/balances/{address}"` REST endpoint: both will return the same result. For each RPC method defined in a Protobuf `Query` service, the corresponding REST endpoint is defined as an option:
