Chains
This project is a blockchain network registry and metadata repository that provides a standardized directory of technical parameters for Ethereum-compatible chains. It serves as a curated collection of JSON configuration files containing network identifiers, RPC endpoints, and currency details used to integrate multiple blockchain networks into client applications.
The system specifically maps Layer 2 networks and shards to their parent chains, including associated bridge URLs and explorer links to facilitate cross-chain asset mapping. It utilizes an aggregated API to deliver this metadata in full or miniaturized JSON formats.
The infrastructure manages these configurations via schema-validated static assets and versioned hosting to ensure stable references. This approach employs flat-file data distribution and pre-aggregated payloads to provide read-only access to network metadata without the need for a dynamic database.
