Getting started with the Spiderchain

This documentation applies to the use of the Spiderchain EVM Testnet.

Testnet Maintenance

Our testnet is currently on pause as we are working on some consensus changes for the next version of the testnet. Follow us through our official social channels (X, Discord, Telegram or LinkedIn) to be notified when the next version comes online!

What is the Spiderchain EVM?

The Spiderchain EVM is fully equivalent with Ethereum. If you're familiar with using Ethereum mainnet, then the Spiderchain EVM will be the same except that everything will be denominated in BTC (gas fees etc).

This section walks you through everything you need to get started:

1. Set up your wallet

2. Get funds from a faucet

3. Bridge some funds

4. Send a transaction

5. Deploy your first contract

If you run into a problem, step on over to the Botanix Labs contact page and let us know.
