## Integrating the Avalanche Light-Client Module in Your Cosmos SDK Application

Enhance your Cosmos SDK application by integrating the `light-clients/14-avalanche` module. Follow this step-by-step guide to easily import and register the Avalanche light-client in your project.

### 1. Import the Avalanche Light-Client Module

First, ensure you import the Avalanche (`ava`) module into your Cosmos SDK application. Typically, this is done in the `ibc.go` file, where your application's modules are defined.

```go
import (
  // other imports...
  ava "github.com/cosmos/ibc-go/v8/modules/light-clients/14-avalanche"
)
```

### 2. Register the Avalanche Module in the Module Manager

Next, add the `ava` module to your application’s `ModuleManager`. Locate the section where you initialize the `ModuleManager` and include the Avalanche light-client:

```go
app.ModuleManager = module.NewManager(
  // other modules...
  ava.AppModuleBasic{},
)
```

### 3. Add module to the RegisterIBC function

Finally, register the Avalanche module in the `RegisterIBC` function of your application. This function is typically found in the `ibc.go` file.

```go
func RegisterIBC(registry cdctypes.InterfaceRegistry) map[string]appmodule.AppModule {
	modules := map[string]appmodule.AppModule{
        // other modules... 
        ava.ModuleName: ava.AppModuleBasic{},
    }
...
}
```

By following these steps, you'll successfully integrate the Avalanche light-client module into your Cosmos SDK application, enabling enhanced interoperability with Avalanche-based chains.
