eth_chainId - Berachain RPC Method
Get the chain ID for Berachain. Essential for transaction signing and network verification.
Returns the chain ID used for transaction signing on Berachain.
Why Berachain? Build on the Proof-of-Liquidity L1 with $3.2B+ TVL and innovative three-token economics with Proof-of-Liquidity consensus, three-token model (BERA/BGT/HONEY), $142M funding, and unified validator-DeFi incentive alignment.
Use Cases
The eth_chainId method is essential for:
- Transaction signing - Ensure transactions are signed for the correct network
- Network verification - Confirm connection to the expected chain
- Multi-chain apps - Handle different networks programmatically
- Wallet integration - Validate network before transactions
Request Parameters
This method accepts no parameters.
