Bootstrapping a fresh node used to require an externally hosted genesis.json;
lose the file and you cannot sync. The canonical genesis states of known
Coopenomics chains (mainnet, testnet) are now compiled into the binary and
reproducible from the package alone:
leap-util genesis list # names + chain ids
leap-util genesis print mainnet > genesis.json
Each entry only overrides initial_key — the production initial_timestamp and
chain_config values are already the compile-time defaults of genesis_state.
The default EOSIO_ROOT_KEY is intentionally untouched, so dev forks and the
docker-hub harness keep their well-known dev key; one build serves mainnet,
testnet and dev (a config-time root key change would have forked every dev
setup, and shipping per-network builds was rejected outright).
Unit test pins both registry chain ids to the canonical values, proving every
hashed genesis field is correct, and pins the dev default to NOT equal any
production genesis.
