 ### State Machine Breaking
 
+* (app, rpc) [tharsis#447](https://github.com/tharsis/ethermint/pull/447) Chain ID format has been changed from `<identifier>-<epoch>` to `<identifier>_<EIP155_number>-<epoch>`
+in order to clearly distinguish permanent vs impermanent components.
 * (app, evm) [tharsis#434](https://github.com/tharsis/ethermint/pull/434) EVM `Keeper` struct and `NewEVM` function now have a new `trace` field to define
 the Tracer type used to collect execution traces from the EVM transaction execution.
 * (evm) [tharsis#175](https://github.com/tharsis/ethermint/issues/175) The msg `TxData` field is now represented as a `*proto.Any`.

+# Chain ID
+
+Learn about the Ethermint chain-id format {synopsis}
+
+## The Chain Identifier
+
+Every chain must have a unique identifier or `chain-id`. Tendermint requires each application to
+define its own `chain-id` in the [genesis.json fields](https://docs.tendermint.com/master/spec/core/genesis.html#genesis-fields). However, in order to comply with both EIP155 and Cosmos standard for chain upgrades, Ethermint-compatible chains must implement a special structure for their chain identifiers.
+
+## Structure
+
+The Ethermint Chain ID contains 3 main components
+
+- **Identifier**: Unstructured string that defines the name of the application.
+- **EIP155 Number**: Immutable [EIP155](https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/blob/master/EIPS/eip-155.md) `CHAIN_ID` that defines the replay attack protection number.
+- **Version Number**: Is the version number (always positive) that the chain is currently running.
+This number **MUST** be incremented every time the chain is upgraded or forked in order to avoid network or consensus errors.
+
+### Format
+
+The format for specifying and Ethermint compatible chain-id in genesis is the following:
+
+```bash
+{identifier}_{EIP155}-{version}
+```
+
+The following table provides an example where the second row corresponds to an upgrade from the first one:
+
+| ChainID            | Identifier | EIP155 Number | Version Number |
+|--------------------|------------|---------------|----------------|
+| `ethermint_9000-1` | ethermint  | 9000          | 1              |
+| `ethermint_9000-2` | ethermint  | 9000          | 2              |
