 In existent workchains, the raw format consists of two components separated by a colon:
 
-- `workchain_id`: a signed 32-bit integer identifying the workchain.<br />
+- `workchain_id`: a signed 8-bit integer identifying the workchain.<br />
   Examples: `-1` for the MasterChain and `0` for the BaseChain.
 - `account_id`: a 256-bit identifier that is derived from a smart contract `state_init`.
