+# Avalanche L1 Chains
+
+The `Chains` module provides a collection of Avalanche Layer 1 (L1) chain configurations in a standardized format. These configurations are useful for interacting with Avalanche networks in a consistent and type-safe way, and is compatible with libraries like [viem](https://viem.sh/).
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Node.js >= 20.0.0
+- TypeScript >= 5.0.0
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+npm install @avalanche-sdk/chains
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+Using any of the listed L1s from the `chains` module is very simple:
+
+```typescript
+import { avalancheFuji, dispatch } from "@avalanche-sdk/chains";
+
+console.log(avalancheFuji.id);
+```
+
+## ChainConfig
+
+The `ChainConfig` interface extends `viem`'s [official config](https://viem.sh/docs/chains/introduction) by enforcing the following Teleporter related
+properties.
+
+This config is used in other Avalanche SDKs like `interchain` and `client`.
+
+```typescript
+export interface ChainConfig extends Chain {
+    blockchainId: string;
+    interchainContracts: {
+        teleporterRegistry: Address;
+        teleporterManager: Address;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Extending ChainConfig
+
+If you want to test chains locally which are not in this module, you can easily define the chain config like this (see Viem's [Custom Chains](https://viem.sh/docs/chains/introduction#custom-chains)):
+
+```typescript
+import { defineChain } from 'viem'
+
+export const zora = defineChain({
+  id: 7777777,
+  name: 'Zora',
+  nativeCurrency: {
+    decimals: 18,
+    name: 'Ether',
+    symbol: 'ETH',
+  },
+  rpcUrls: {
+    default: {
+      http: ['https://rpc.zora.energy'],
+      webSocket: ['wss://rpc.zora.energy'],
+    },
+  },
+  blockExplorers: {
+    default: { name: 'Explorer', url: 'https://explorer.zora.energy' },
+  },
+  contracts: {
+    multicall3: {
+      address: '0xcA11bde05977b3631167028862bE2a173976CA11',
+      blockCreated: 5882,
+    },
+  },
+  blockchainId: 'abc';
+  interchainContracts: {
+    teleporterRegistry: '0x0000000';
+    teleporterManager: '0x000000';
+  }
+})
+```
+
+## Contributing
+
+You can expand the official `Chains` module by adding the chain config following the above interface.
