Simple Summary
This document is about the details of the Tezos 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 Tezos.
Motivation
See CAIP-2.
Specification
Tezos Namespace
The namespace "tezos" refers to the Tezos open-source blockchain platform.
Reference Definition
The definition for this namespace will use the genesis-block-hash as an indentifier for different Tezos chains. The method for calculating the chain ID is as follows
tezosB58CheckEncode('Net',
firstFourBytes(
blake2b(msg = tezosB58CheckDecode('B', genesisBlockHash),
size = 32)))
Rationale
Blockchains in the "tezos" namespace are identified by their chain ID as mentioned in the Reference Definition Section.
