L1 — CoNET Blockchain
Evidence level: Production reference. The network identifiers and public services below describe the active CoNET L1. Individual contracts and indexed Explorer views still require address-specific verification.
CoNET L1 is an EVM-compatible proof-of-stake network. It provides the canonical settlement, asset, identity, registry, and cross-chain Treasury layer used by CoNET protocols.
CoNET L1 runs the Ethereum Osaka execution rules and the Fulu consensus rules. Both forks activated together on 2026-10-18 at 13:26:07 UTC, after Prague / Electra earlier that day. See L1 network upgrades.
EVM compatibility means that the chain executes Ethereum-style smart-contract bytecode and supports familiar account, signature, ABI, and JSON-RPC tooling. It does not mean that CoNET shares Ethereum or Base state, validators, balances, or finality.
Network facts
| Field | Canonical value |
|---|---|
chainId |
224422 (0x36ca6) |
| Native gas asset | CNET |
| Current fork | Osaka / Fulu, active since 2026-10-18 13:26:07 UTC (block 1767139, Fulu epoch 57050) |
| Primary RPC | https://rpc1.conet.network |
| Backup RPC | https://publicrpc.conet.network |
| Explorer | https://mainnet.conet.network |
| Explorer alias | https://scan.conet.network |
https://rpc.conet.network is deprecated. It has returned state from an out-of-sync or divergent chain tip and must not be used as a source of truth, even if it reports chainId 224422.
Two node roles
CoNET documentation uses two distinct node terms:
- L1 validators participate in proof-of-stake consensus and determine the canonical L1 chain. Their consensus-layer identity is a Beacon / Prysm
validator_index(already observed ≥ 2000). Do not useValidatorDepositRedeem.totalStakedValidatorCount()as that census. - Guardian Nodes belong to the DePIN service plane of the Layer Minus cloud. They may offer routing, mailbox delivery, bandwidth, storage, and CPU / GPU work. A listed Guardian is not a trusted host and is not an L1 validator. The registry snapshot near 472 is the L0 scale.
Network-layer privacy and censorship resistance are transport objectives. Wallet-address routing and DePIN overlays can reduce dependence on directly exposed service endpoints, but they are not a consensus algorithm called “stealth consensus.” L1 consensus remains proof of stake.
