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`.

### WorkChain id

TON Blockchain is actually a collection of blockchains, with WorkChain being one of them. TON supports up to `2^32` unique WorkChains, each with its own rules and even virtual machines. The 32-bit `workchain_id` prefix in smart contract addresses ensures interoperability, allowing contracts to send and receive messages across different WorkChains.
TON Blockchain is actually a collection of blockchains, with WorkChain being one of them. TON supports up to `2^32` unique WorkChains, each with its own rules and even virtual machines.

- **Every actor is a smart contract**, each with a unique address for message routing.
- **Main internal address fields**:
- `workchain_id` (32-bit): identifies the WorkChain.
- `workchain_id` (8- or 32-bit): identifies the WorkChain.
- `account_id` (256-bit): a hash of the contract’s initial code and data.
- **Active WorkChains**: MasterChain and BaseChain, both using 256-bit ids.
- **Flexibility**: TON supports up to `2^32` WorkChains, allowing future chains to customize address lengths (64–512 bits).
