this would give us:
chain id
: unique identifier for a chain. a chain is associated with exactly one consensus type and one or more ibc interfaces.consensus type
: verifiable consensus mechanism for a chain (tendermint, cometbls, eth beacon, etc). this is verifiable by many client types.client type
: implementation of a light client that is capable of verifying a consensus (cometbls, cometbls-groth16).ibc interface
: environment that a client runs in (ibc-go native, ibc-go 08-wasm, ibc-solidity, etc).
currently client type is overloaded as both consensus & consensus verification, which is incorrect - there can be multiple ways to verify a consensus.
