CDDL
The following specification of crypto-coin-identity is written in CDDL. When used embedded in another CBOR structure, this structure should be tagged #6.1401.

Usages Examples
[CryptoCoinIdentity] Construct a crypto coin identity
Add additional information to a specific hdkey. It contains the following information:
- Curve of the coin (e.g. *_** _
["secp256k1", "ed25519", "secp256r1”, “sr25519”]
).* This information is mandatory in the case of some blockchain (e.g. Tezos) supporting multiple elliptic curves. - BIP44 coin type as defined in [SLIP44].
- Subtype to define additional information to identify the coin (e.g. the chain ID for an EVM chain).
The URI format is as follows: bc-coin://{subtype2.subtype1.subtype0}.{curve}/type
Below the coinIdentity of Polygon (MATIC) as an example: "bc-coin://137.secp256k1/60"
import {CryptoCoinIdentity, EllipticCurve } from from '@ngraveio/bc-ur-registry';
const curve = EllipticCurve.secp256k1 // 8
const type = 60
const chainId = '137'
const subTypes = [chainId]
const coinIdentity = new CryptoCoinIdentity(curve, type, subTypes)
console.log(coinIdentity.toCBOR().toString('hex'));
// "a3010802183c038163313337"
const ur = coinIdentity.toUREncoder().nextPart();
console.log(ur);
