A contract_address is the location of a smart contract program on a given blockchain. It is similar to a memory address on a single computer, but in this case it is the address within the context of a distributed system. Each blockchain has a globally unique ID called a network_id.

Network ID	Blockchain Name	Description
1	Ethereum	Layer 1 Ethereum blockchain.
