Chains
Ethereum
The default chain. getChain() with no argument lands here, and the EVM format every other EVM chain shares is defined by this family.
- create
- create("ethereum")

- EVM · evm

Ethereum is what getChain() returns when you give it nothing. mainnet resolves here too, because that's what a config file usually says.
Address format
The EVM format, shared by every EVM chain here: 0x and 40 hex digits, any case. An address that fits Ethereum fits the other twelve EVM chains too, and identify says so rather than picking one. The EIP-55 checksum, the one carried in letter case, isn't verified.
import { getChain } from "@agntn/chains";
const chain = getChain("eth");
chain.assertAddress("0x1f9840a85d5aF5bf1D1762F925BDADdC4201F984"); // returned unchanged
chain.chainId; // "0x1"
chain.caip2; // "eip155:1"
Spellings
ethereum, eth, mainnet, Ethereum. The key is ethereum, the rest resolve through getChain.
