# epochs

### Abstract <a href="#abstract" id="abstract"></a>

This document specifies the internal `x/epochs` module of the Mnova Chain.

Often, when working with the [Cosmos SDK](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk), we would like to run certain pieces of code every so often.

The purpose of the `epochs` module is to allow other modules to maintain that they would like to be signaled once in a time period. So, another module can specify it wants to execute certain code once a week, starting at UTC-time = x. `epochs` creates a generalized epoch interface to other modules so they can be more easily signaled upon such events.
