Adds a CAIP-19 asset profile to the existing chia namespace. The CAIP-2 profile is already ratified and is not touched.

Who wrote this

I do not represent the chia ecosystem. I maintain FAR, an open cross-reference between CAIP-19, CoinGecko and ISO 24165 (DTI) identifiers, which needs a way to name 4 assets on this chain. CASA's README invites profiles added to an existing namespace, so this documents how assets are addressed rather than claiming to speak for anyone. Offered for the chia community to correct, adopt or replace.

Asset namespaces

slip44, cat, nft

What this profile establishes

Each asset kind is written the way its own standard writes it. CHIP-0005 makes the nft1… bech32m string normatively the NFT's id and its checksum catches transcription errors; CAT asset ids have no standardised bech32m form, so inventing a cat1… encoding would be making up a Chia standard.

A collision inherited from the chain, which the profile cannot repair. The CAT1→CAT2 migration changed the outer puzzle, not the TAIL — and the asset id is the TAIL hash. So one asset id names both a token's CAT1 and CAT2 coins, and CAT1 coins still exist on chain. cat is scoped to CAT2 and consumers are required to confirm the outer puzzle.

Every example was verified against a live node or explorer; anything that could not be verified is marked as such in the document rather than asserted. discussions-to points at 0xcounting/FAR#1.

Adds an asset specification to the existing chia namespace, covering 4
assets that a cross-reference project needs to name. The CAIP-2 profile is
unchanged.
