description: Pantheon network ID and chain ID implementation
Network ID and Chain ID
Ethereum networks have a network ID and a chain ID. The network ID defaults to the chain ID specified in the genesis file.
!!! example "Chain ID in Gensis File"
json { "config": { "ethash": { }, "chainID": 1981 }, ... }
For most networks including MainNet and the public testnets, the network ID and the chain ID are the same and are specified in the genesis file.
The network ID and chain ID are automatically defined by Pantheon when connecting to networks specified
using the --network
option:
- MainNet: chain-id ==1==, network-id ==1==
- Rinkeby: chain-id ==4==, network-id ==4==
- Ropsten: chain-id ==3==, network-id ==3==
- Dev: chain-id ==2018==, network-id ==2018==
When using the --network=dev
or
--genesis-file
options, you can override the
network ID using the --network-id
option.
