eth_chainId

Returns the chain ID used for transaction signing on Mantle.

Why Mantle? Build on the world's largest ZK rollup by TVL with $2.5B+ secured and deep Bybit integration with near-instant ZK finality via OP Succinct, $6.2B treasury backing, mETH liquid staking, and 25% Bybit trading fee discounts.

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

Parameters

This method accepts no parameters.

// Verify network before transaction
async function verifyNetwork(expectedChainId) {
