Conflux Namespace - Chains

CAIP-2

For context, see the CAIP-2 specification.

Rationale

Conflux network(core space) consists of 2 networks: main network and testing network. Private networks can also be created.

The main network has a network ID of 1029, represented by cfx. The test network has a network ID of 1, represented by cfxtest. Private networks are represented by net[network ID].

Syntax

A network id in the Conflux core space is defined as an unsigned integer ranging from 1 to 4294967295.

Resolution Mechanics

To resolve the a network reference for a conflux network, POST a JSON-RPC request to the RPC endpoint of the blockchain node with path / for example:

// request
curl -X POST --data \
'{
    "method": "cfx_getStatus",
    "params": [],
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1
}' \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
https://main.confluxrpc.com

// response

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "result": {
    "bestHash": "0x4e5607b1c23124fad2c7e431f34ca52bc3e28e90df2e3733d0a50d64d4790693",
    "chainId": "0x405",
    "ethereumSpaceChainId": "0x406",
    "networkId": "0x405",
    "epochNumber": "0x6158f8d",
    "blockNumber": "0xeb54f08",
    "pendingTxNumber": "0xc9",
    "latestCheckpoint": "0x614b3a0",
    "latestConfirmed": "0x6158f6a",
    "latestState": "0x6158f89",
    "latestFinalized": "0x6158eb0"
  }
}

The response will return a JSON object which will include node status and the networkId, encoded in hexadecimal, of the current chain.
