What the specification covers

AbstractMotivationSpecificationRationaleEIP-2124 mentions advertising the forkid in the discovery protocol too. How does that compare to advertising in the eth protocol? Why is the redundancy needed?The forkid implicitly contains the genesis hash checksummed into the FORK_HASH field. Why doesn't this proposal remove the genesisHash field from the eth handshake?Backwards CompatibilityTest CasesSecurity ConsiderationsCopyright

This proposal declares no Solidity interface, so there is nothing to compute. It may be a core protocol change, a meta proposal, or written in prose only.
