 * (crypto/keyring) [#21653](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/21653) New Linux-only backend that adds Linux kernel's `keyctl` support.
 * (runtime) [#21704](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/21704) Add StoreLoader in simappv2.
 * (client/keys) [#21829](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/21829) Add support for importing hex key using standard input.
+* (x/validate) [#21822](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/21822) New module solely responsible for providing ante/post handlers and tx validators for v2. It can be extended by the app developer to provide extra tx validators.
+    * In comparison to x/auth/tx/config, there is no app config to skip ante/post handlers, as overwriting them in baseapp or not injecting the x/validate module has the same effect.

 * (types/mempool) [#21744](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/21744) Update types/mempool.Mempool interface to take decoded transactions. This avoid to decode the transaction twice.
+* (x/auth/tx/config)  [#21822](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/21822) Sign mode textual is no more automatically added to tx config when using runtime. Should be added manually on the server side.
+* (x/auth/tx/config)  [#21822](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/21822) This depinject module now only provide txconfig and tx config options. `x/validate` now handles the providing of ante/post handlers, alongside tx validators for v2. The corresponding app config options have been removed from the depinject module config.

-## Depinject & App Module
+## `x/auth/tx/config`
+
+The `x/auth/tx/config` contains a depinject module.
+The depinject module is to outputs the `TxConfig` and `TxConfigOptions` for the app.
 
-The `x/auth/tx/config` contains a depinject module and app module.
-The depinject module is there to setup ante/post handlers on an runtime app (via baseapp options) and the tx validator on the runtime/v2 app (via app module). It as well outputs the `TxConfig` and `TxConfigOptions` for the app.
+### Storage
 
-The app module is purely there for registering tx validators, due to the design of tx validators (tx validator belong to modules).
+This module has no store key. Do not forget to add the module name in the `SkipStoreKeys` runtime config present in the app config.
+
+```go
+SkipStoreKeys: []string{
+	authtxconfig.DepinjectModuleName,
+	validate.ModuleName,
+},

+# x/validate
+
+:::tip
+This module is only required when using runtime and runtime v2 and you want to make use of the pre-defined ante/poste handlers or tx validators.
+:::
+
+The `x/validate` is an app module solely there to setup ante/post handlers on a runtime app (via baseapp options) and the global tx validators on a runtime/v2 app (via app module). Depinject will automatically inject the ante/post handlers and tx validators into the app. Module specific tx validators should be registered on their own modules.
+
+## Extra TxValidators
+
+It is possible to add extra tx validators to the app. This is useful when you want to add extra tx validators that do not belong to one specific module. For example, you can add a tx validator that checks if the tx is signed by a specific address.
+
+In your `app.go`, when using runtime/v2, supply the extra tx validators using `depinject`:
+
+```go
+appConfig = depinject.Configs(
+	AppConfig(),
+	depinject.Supply(
+        []appmodulev2.TxValidator[transaction.Tx]{
+            // Add extra tx validators here
+        }
+    ),
+)
+```
+
+## Storage
+
+This module has no store key. Do not forget to add the module name in the `SkipStoreKeys` runtime config present in the app config.
+
+```go
+SkipStoreKeys: []string{
+	authtxconfig.DepinjectModuleName,
+	validate.ModuleName,
+},
+```
