Chains
Avalanche C-Chain
The Avalanche C-Chain, chain 43114. The X and P chains have their own address formats and are not what this class describes.

The C-Chain only, chain 43114. Avalanche's X and P chains use a different address format, and this class says nothing about them. Same for decimals: 18 is AVAX on the C-Chain.
Address format
The EVM format, shared by every EVM chain here: 0x and 40 hex digits, any case. An address that fits Avalanche C-Chain fits the other thirteen EVM chains too, and identify says so rather than picking one. The EIP-55 checksum, the one carried in letter case, is verified where there is one: mixed case has to match the hash, and an address in one case throughout passes, since it carries no checksum.
import { getChain } from "@agntn/chains";
const chain = getChain("avax");
chain.assertAddress("0x1f9840a85d5aF5bf1D1762F925BDADdC4201F984"); // returned unchanged
chain.chainId; // "0xa86a"
chain.caip2; // "eip155:43114"
Spellings
