eth_chainId on Cronos

Everything below was measured on 2026-10-13 by calling eth_chainId on Cronos through the same endpoint customers use, and is re-measured weekly.

What eth_chainId does

Returns the chain ID (EIP-155) as a hex string. Wallets and libraries check it before signing, and the signature commits to it, so a transaction signed for one chain cannot be replayed on another.

Example request

curl -s https://rpc.swiftnodes.io/rpc/cronos?key=YOUR_API_KEY \
  -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"eth_chainId","params":[]}'

// Check you are on Cronos before signing
import { createPublicClient, http } from "viem";

const client = createPublicClient({
  transport: http("https://rpc.swiftnodes.io/rpc/cronos?key=YOUR_API_KEY"),
});

const id = await client.getChainId(); // 25
if (id !== 25) throw new Error(`wrong chain: ${id}`);

// Add Cronos to a browser wallet
await window.ethereum.request({
  method: "wallet_addEthereumChain",
  params: [{
    chainId: "0x19",
    chainName: "Cronos",
    nativeCurrency: { name: "CRO", symbol: "CRO", decimals: 18 },
    rpcUrls: ["https://rpc.swiftnodes.io/rpc/cronos?key=YOUR_API_KEY"],
  }],
});
