  • The Base chain WS

  • L1 chain ID

  • L2 chain ID

Additional details

  • Base chain HTTP: The RPC address of the Layer 1 blockchain that the validium will interact with. This address is used for HTTP-based communications.

  • Base chain WS: WebSocket address of the Layer 1 blockchain.

  • L1 chain ID: Chain ID of layer one blockchain the validium will use.
