Universes

In the Previous Network, the blockchains where the implementation contracts of set objects reside are called universes.

The Previous chain itself is not considered a universe. Instead, it functions like a world camera, visualizing tokens and activities on various universes in a cryptographically deterministic way. This approach leverages the existence of numerous fungible and non-fungible tokens and the multitude of activities occurring daily on these established blockchains. Rather than introducing another general-purpose blockchain, the Previous Network aims to facilitate these existing chains and make tokens more visible and interactive.

Universe ID​

Every universe is assigned a unique ID. These universe IDs are mostly based on well-known chain IDs but may have some differences.

Universes​

Currently, the planned universes include:

Bitcoin Universe​

  • Universe ID: 0

Ethereum Universe​

  • Universe ID: 1

Base Universe​

  • Universe ID: 8453

Test Universes​

Test universes are designated for testnets, allowing for experimentation and testing of features without affecting the main networks.

Dev Universes​

Dev universes are intended for local development, providing a sandbox environment for developers to build and test their applications.
