chains VS Ed25519Tool

chainId: An integer greater than zero that defines a unique id for your private network. The main network has ID 1. If you supply your own custom network ID which is different than the main network, your nodes will not connect to other nodes and form a private network.. You can find a community-run registry of Ethereum networks at https://chainid.network.

The current ChainID of the PlatON mainnet is 100, which conflicts with that of other networks registered in ethereum-lists/chains. To better support DApps like MetaMask, another ChainID is needed, one that is unique and registered by a unified third-party platform under the EVM framework. As the PlatON mainnet has been running for nearly a year, the existing ecosystem tools (wallets, browsers, etc.) cannot be immediately migrated or adapted to the new ChainID. It is therefore proposed that the PlatON mainnet should support two ChainIDs at the same time for a certain period.

ETH-like-chain - What some call "ethereum" could refer to many different chains. For example ETH is chainId: 1, ETC is chainId: 61 and MATIC is chainId: 137. Here's a list of the 100s of chains Trezor could access.

Ofc it's good to always double-check. But the tool is based on legit open repository: https://github.com/ethereum-lists/chains

a list of which can be found here https://chainid.network/

Make sure your Metamask is on the Binance Smart Chain network and not the Main Ethereum Network. Please verify the chain ID, it must be 56 for Binance. Source: https://chainid.network/

I'm concerned about the `#` character in the URL.

# means fragment and that's kept local and not sent to the server unless client side Javascript sends it to the server. I would use an identifier that doesn't already mean something to the URL.

See https://github.com/Cyphrme/URLFormJS#query-parameters-fragme... (Also see https://github.com/Cyphrme/Path)

For an example where this is relevant: https://cyphr.me/ed25519_tool/ed.html#?msg_encoding=Text&msg...

And see https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3986#section-3.5

For browsers this problem is partially solved as subresources may be integrity checked. Further, there have been proposals like DOMTegrity, that provides a complete solution. For now, yes, full integrity checking isn't done automatically in browser, but it may be done automatically using git or manually as is normally done for any software downloaded not using a package manager or git.

The only reason the evil tool is now the second result is because this backdoor angered me so much I created the (now) #1 tool, that runs in browser, never sends off keys, and is fully open source. Feel free to click on that one all you want and star it on Github. Just practicing, "cypherpunks write code". 😉
