@glideco/chain-utils

Chain canonicalization, address truncation, and block-explorer URL helpers for Glide.

Trivial pure utilities used everywhere in the Glide UI for showing addresses and explorer links across the 5 EVM chains Glide supports (ethereum, base, arbitrum, polygon) plus Solana. Zero dependencies.

import {
  normalizeChain,
  isEvmChain,
  chainToChainId,
  shortAddress,
  shortHash,
  explorerUrl,
  explorerLabel,
  type CanonicalChain,
} from '@glideco/chain-utils';

normalizeChain('eth-mainnet'); // → 'ethereum'
normalizeChain(8453); // → 'base'

shortAddress('0xC02aaA39b223FE8D0A0e5C4F27eAD9083C756Cc2');
// → '0xC02a…6Cc2'

explorerUrl('base', '0x123…'); // → 'https://basescan.org/tx/0x123…'

Why a package

The same explorerUrl switch and shortAddress truncation showed up inline in 12+ places in the Glide app prior to v0.7.0.0. Centralizing them prevents drift between consumers and lets OSS users (e.g. anyone building a multi-chain wallet UI) skip the boilerplate.
