Namespace for EIP155 chains

This document describes the syntax and structure of the EIP155 namespace, commonly referred to as the “EVM” namespace for chains using the Ethereum Virtual Machine.

Introduction

EIP155 is an Ethereum Improvement Process specifying addressing across Ethereum-based chains, generalized by CAIP-2. Definition of valid references within that namespace and constraints are deferred to the EIP155 specification, which may be superseded by future EIPs.
