Package chaincfg defines chain configuration parameters. In addition to the main Decred network, which is intended for the transfer of monetary value, there also exists two currently active standard networks: regression test and testnet (version 0). These networks are incompatible with each other (each sharing a different genesis block) and software should handle errors where input intended for one network is used on an application instance running on a different network. For library packages, chaincfg provides the ability to lookup chain parameters and encoding magics when passed a *Params. Older APIs not updated to the new convention of passing a *Params may lookup the parameters for a wire.DecredNet using ParamsForNet, but be aware that this usage is deprecated and will be removed from chaincfg in the future. For main packages, a (typically global) var may be assigned the address of one of the standard Param vars for use as the application's "active" network. When a network parameter is needed, it may then be looked up through this variable (either directly, or hidden in a library call). If an application does not use one of the standard Decred networks, a new Params struct may be created which defines the parameters for the non-standard network. As a general rule of thumb, all network parameters should be unique to the network, but parameter collisions can still occur.
