Genesis commits to ChainHash (hash of the genesis block of the underlying blockchain), however it contains (for P2P networking purposes) information about the target blockchain (name etc) called ChainParam. This allows not to hardcore list of supported blockchains (main, test, signet, regtest, sidechains, test sidechains...) into each and all client-level software. However, ChainParam may evolve, so to avoid compatibility issues and allow extensibility w/o RGB contract change we
will serialize chain parameters in all known/legacy formats for compatibility:

genesis := some_data, chain_params, rest_of_data
chain_params := no_of_encodins, chain_param_encoding*
chain_param_encoding := len, bytes*
