# Chain

The Orakl Network state can hold information about deployments to multiple chains. The chain is a fundamental configuration which is used in all other Orakl Network settings.

The **Orakl Network CLI** provides commands to

* [List Chains](#list-chains)
* [Insert New Chain](#insert-new-chain)
* [Remove Chain Specified By `id`](#remove-chain-specified-by-id)

### List Chains

```sh
orakl-cli chain list
```

```json
[
  { "id": 1, "name": "localhost" },
  { "id": 2, "name": "baobab" },
  { "id": 3, "name": "cypress" }
]
```

### Insert New Chain

If there are not chains set, we can add a new chain using `chain insert` command of the **Orakl Network CLI**.

```sh
orakl-cli chain insert \
    --name ${chainName}
```

* example

```
orakl-cli chain insert --name ethereum
```

### Remove Chain Specified By `id`

Chains can be removed when there are no association to them yet.

```sh
orakl-cli chain remove \
    --id ${id}
```

* example

```sh
orakl-cli chain remove --id 10
```
