CAIP-7: Blockchain Reference for the EOSIO Namespace
Simple Summary
This document is about the details of the EOSIO namespaces and references for CAIP-2.
Abstract
In CAIP-2 a general blockchain identification scheme is defined. This is the implementation of CAIP-2 for EOSIO.
Motivation
See CAIP-2.
Specification
EOSIO Namespace
The namespace "eosio" refers to the EOSIO open-source blockchain platform.
Reference Definition
The definition is delegated to the EOSIO Transactions Protocol Documentation, the Chain API Plugin Documentation of the EOSIO Developers Manual and the pull request that implemented its generation Chain ID generation implementation pull request. The Chain ID, as defined by EOSIO, is the SHA256 hash of the genesis state of the chain, represented as lower case hexadecimal number of 64 digits. In order to fit the CAIP-2 reference format, a 32 character prefix of the Chain ID is used.
Rationale
Blockchains in the "eosio" namespace are identified by their Chain ID as mentioned in the Reference Definition Section.
