# Built-in capabilities

Since capabilities can be created between contract and environment, we don't
know them all in the VM. This is a list of all built-in capabilities, but chains
might define others.

- `iterator` is for storage backends that allow range queries. Not all types of
databases do that. There are trees that don't allow it and Secret Network does
not support iterators for other technical reasons.
- `stargate` is for messages and queries that came with the Cosmos SDK upgrade
"Stargate". It primarily includes protobuf messages and IBC support.
- `staking` is for chains with the Cosmos SDK staking module. There are Cosmos
chains that don't use this (e.g. Tgrade).
- `cosmwasm_1_1` enables the `BankQuery::Supply` query. Only chains running
CosmWasm `1.1.0` or higher support this.
- `cosmwasm_1_2` enables the `GovMsg::VoteWeighted` message. Only chains running
CosmWasm `1.2.0` or higher support this.

## Common capabilities

Here is a list of capabilities created in the past. Since capabilities can be
created between contract and environment, we don't know them all in the VM.

- `iterator` is for storage backends that allow range queries. Not all types of
databases do that. There are trees that don't allow it and Secret Network does
not support iterators for other technical reasons.
