• Category: property
• Defined by: gmeow:slices/attestation

The chain identifier of a blockchain network (e.g. CAIP-2 chainId, eip155:1).

Structure

Property shape: datatype property; gmeow:BlockchainNetwork -> rdfs:Literal; functional

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:chainId from gmeow:BlockchainNetwork to rdfs:Literal when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

Common Companion Terms

gmeow:BlockchainNetwork

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to carry the CAIP-2 chain identifier of a gmeow:BlockchainNetwork — the string that distinguishes one chain from another when resolving on-chain identifiers.

Avoid when

• Avoid for a contract or account address on the chain (gmeow:contractAddress, gmeow:signatureRecoveryAddress) and for a transaction hash (gmeow:transactionHash); the chain id names the network, not a record on it. Functional — one id per network.

How to use

• Set one CAIP-2 chain-id literal on the gmeow:BlockchainNetwork; other ledger records reference the network so their hashes and addresses are interpreted against the right chain.

Examples

• ex:ethMainnet gmeow:chainId "eip155:1".
