The Ethereum Mainnet possesses a unique chain ID, specifically numbered 1. This identifier plays a crucial role in the network's transactional framework.

It's worth noting that the chain ID is only utilized when the block number exceeds the one set at eip155Block. EIP155, or Ethereum Improvement Proposal 155, introduced replay protection, a mechanism designed to prevent transactions from being accidentally replayed on different networks.

All transactions conducted on the Ethereum Mainnet are assigned a value, which is either 37 or 38. This value is significant as it helps differentiate transactions on the Ethereum Mainnet from those on other networks.

The chain ID is not arbitrarily assigned; it is established in the genesis configuration file. This file serves as the foundational blueprint for the Ethereum Mainnet, detailing various network parameters.

Within the genesis configuration file, the chain ID is specified in the config section. This ensures that all nodes on the network are aware of and adhere to the same chain ID, facilitating seamless transaction processing.
