Summary

Retrieves the configured blockchain's chain ID.

Inputs

None.

Output shape

a single integer representing the chain ID

The ID is returned as a number; if no chain is configured, the value may be null or omitted.

Examples

Example 1: Determine which network the node is connected to (e.g., mainnet, goerli)

No parameters needed; operation returns the chain ID from the node's configuration.

Example 2: Validate that the node's RPC endpoint matches the expected network

Use the returned ID to cross‑check against known chain IDs.
