+# Namespace for Monero chains
+
+This document defines the applicability of CAIP schemes to the blockchains of the Monero ecosystem.
+
+## Syntax
+
+The namespace "monero" refers to the Monero blockchain, its forks and testnets.

+# CAIP-2
+
+*For context, see the [CAIP-2][] specification.*
+
+## Rationale
+
+CAIP-2 defines a way to identify a blockchain. Monero blockchain, its forks and testnets can be uniquely identified by their genesis blocks.
+
+## Syntax
+
+Monero chain ID is a hash of its genesis block, truncated to the first 32 characters.
+
+### Resolution Mechanics
+
+To obtain the genesis block hash, make a JSON-RPC request to the Monero daemon with method [get_block_header_by_height].
+
+Request:
+
+```json
+{
+  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
+  "id": "0",
+  "method": "get_block_header_by_height",
+  "params": {
+    "height": 0
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Response example (Monero mainnet):
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "0",
+  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
+  "result": {
+    "block_header": {
+      "block_size": 80,
+      "block_weight": 80,
+      "cumulative_difficulty": 1,
+      "cumulative_difficulty_top64": 0,
+      "depth": 2873685,
+      "difficulty": 1,
+      "difficulty_top64": 0,
+      "hash": "418015bb9ae982a1975da7d79277c2705727a56894ba0fb246adaabb1f4632e3",
+      "height": 0,
+      "long_term_weight": 80,
+      "major_version": 1,
+      "miner_tx_hash": "c88ce9783b4f11190d7b9c17a69c1c52200f9faaee8e98dd07e6811175177139",
+      "minor_version": 0,
+      "nonce": 10000,
+      "num_txes": 0,
+      "orphan_status": false,
+      "pow_hash": "",
+      "prev_hash": "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000",
+      "reward": 17592186044415,
+      "timestamp": 0,
+      "wide_cumulative_difficulty": "0x1",
+      "wide_difficulty": "0x1"
+    },
+    "credits": 0,
+    "status": "OK",
+    "top_hash": "",
+    "untrusted": false
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Test Cases
+
+This is a list of manually composed examples:
+
+```
+# Monero mainnet
+monero:418015bb9ae982a1975da7d79277c270
+
+# Monero stagenet
+monero:76ee3cc98646292206cd3e86f74d88b4
+
+# Monero testnet 
+monero:48ca7cd3c8de5b6a4d53d2861fbdaedc
+
+# Monero Private testnet (special case; see below)
+monero:00000000000000000000000000000000
+
+# Wownero mainnet
+monero:a3fd635dd5cb55700317783469ba749b
+```
+
+## Additional Considerations
+
+Private testnet (also known as **regtest** or **fakechain**) has the same genesis block hash as Monero mainnet.
+To avoid conflicts, implementers should use chain ID `monero:00000000000000000000000000000000` to identify this chain, as above, and implementers are advised to take care in disambiguating this special case in their code.
