  Ancient8 Chain is an EVM-equivalent Ethereum Layer 2 built on the OP Stack with
  Celestia for data availability. Its public API surface is the standard Ethereum
  JSON-RPC interface exposed at the documented RPC endpoints. Conformance below is
  derived from the published network/architecture documentation, not from a formal
  provider certification.
standards:
  - id: ethereum-json-rpc
    conforms: true
    evidence: >-
      Public HTTPS + WebSocket JSON-RPC endpoints documented (rpc.ancient8.gg,
      wss://rpc.ancient8.gg) — standard Ethereum JSON-RPC method set.
  - id: evm-equivalent
    conforms: true
    evidence: OP Stack EVM-equivalent execution; smart contracts deploy via Hardhat/Remix/thirdweb per docs.
  - id: op-stack
    conforms: true
    evidence: Documentation research section states Ancient8 is built on the Optimism OP Stack.
  - id: celestia-da
    conforms: true
    evidence: Ancient8 uses Celestia for data availability (research/celestia doc + testnet named "Ancient8 Testnet - Celestia").
  - id: eip-1559-fees
    conforms: true
    evidence: EVM-equivalent OP Stack chains inherit EIP-1559 fee market; currency symbol ETH.
  - id: oauth2
    conforms: false
    evidence: Public JSON-RPC exposes no OAuth2 security scheme; access is via provider RPC keys (Conduit) not OAuth.
  - id: rfc9457-problem-details
    conforms: false
    evidence: JSON-RPC uses its own error object (code/message/data), not RFC 9457 problem+json.
