Use Case

The eth_chainId method is essential for:

• Network verification before transactions

• Wallet connection validation

• EIP-155 transaction signing

• Multi-network application routing

• Preventing replay attacks across chains

Web3 Integration

Ether.js

const { ethers } = require('ethers');

const provider = new ethers.JsonRpcProvider('https://shared.eu-central-1.getblock.io/<ACCESS-TOKEN>/');

async function getChainId() {
    const network = await provider.getNetwork();
    console.log('Chain ID:', network.chainId);
}

getChainId();

Viem

import { createPublicClient, http } from "viem";
import { hyperEvm } from "viem/chains";

// Create Viem client with GetBlock
const client = createPublicClient({
  chain: hyperEvm,
  transport: http(import.meta.env.HYPER_ACCESS_TOKEN),
});

// Using the method through Viem
async function Call() {
  try {
    // Method-specific Viem implementation
    const result = await client.request({
      method: "eth_chainId",
      params: [],
    });
    return result;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error("Viem Error:", error);
    throw error;
  }
}
