Quick Guide

1. Getting Started

Fast Chain is fully EVM-compatible, so if you’re already familiar with Ethereum development, you’ll find your skills transfer seamlessly. To begin developing on Fast Chain, follow these steps:

• Environment Setup: Install your preferred Ethereum development tools such as Hardhat, Remix, Truffle, or Foundry. Fast Chain supports standard Ethereum SDKs like ethers.js, web3.js, and viem. Example:

  npm install --save-dev hardhat

• Configure Network: Add Fast Chain’s RPC endpoint to your development environment. For example, in Hardhat, update your hardhat.config.js:

  module.exports = {
    networks: {
      fastchain: {
        url: "-", // Replace with the actual endpoint
        chainId: -, // Fast Chain network ID
        accounts: [process.env.PRIVATE_KEY]
      },
    },
    solidity: "0.8.17",
  };

• Deploying a Smart Contract: Use your existing Ethereum development workflow to compile, deploy, and interact with smart contracts on Fast Chain. For guidance, refer to our sample full-stack dApp guide for Fast Chain.

2. Connecting to Fast Chain

Fast Chain is built upon BNB L2’s mature infrastructure. To connect to the network:

• Network Information & RPC Providers: Use the official Fast Chain RPC endpoints and block explorer to monitor transactions and network status.

• Wallet Configuration: Fast Chain supports any EVM-compatible wallet (e.g., Metamask, TrustWallet, Binance Web3 Wallet). Simply configure your wallet with the Fast Chain RPC URL and network ID.

• Token Acquisition: For testnet development, use our official faucet (once available) to obtain test tokens. On mainnet, tokens can be bridged from BNB Chain or acquired via supported exchanges.

3. Developer Tools & Ecosystem Integration

Developer Tools

Fast Chain is designed to offer a smooth developer experience:

• EVM Compatibility: Leverage familiar tools like Hardhat, Remix, Truffle, and Foundry.

• SDKs & Libraries: All standard Ethereum SDKs (ethers.js, web3.js, viem) work seamlessly on Fast Chain. For additional Fast Chain-specific functionality (leveraging the modular OP Stack), refer to our extended SDK documentation.

• Testing & Debugging: Utilize popular frameworks and unit testing libraries to simulate transactions and debug your smart contracts.

Ecosystem Integration

Fast Chain is natively integrated with the BNB Chain ecosystem:

• Native Meme Token Bridging: Fast Chain supports native bridging for BNB Chain meme tokens (e.g., via platforms like Four.meme), enabling seamless asset transfers between ecosystems.

• DeFi & dApp Support: With its ultra-high throughput (1s block time, >4000 TPS) and low transaction fees, Fast Chain is ideal for decentralized finance applications, gaming, and digital collectibles.

4. Advanced Features & Future Vision

Modular Design & Account Abstraction

• Modular Architecture: Powered by the OP Stack, Fast Chain’s design is modular, allowing for easy upgrades and customization without disrupting core functionality.

• Advanced Account Abstraction: Future enhancements will support advanced account abstraction features, enabling developers to build more flexible and user-friendly dApps on Fast Chain.

Roadmap & Future Developments

• Short-Term: Enhance cross-chain bridging, expand native integration with BNB Chain and meme token platforms, and release additional developer tools.

• Mid-Term: Roll out advanced account abstraction features and optimize the modular architecture for even greater scalability.

• Long-Term: Position Fast Chain as the industry-leading BTC Layer 2 solution that empowers Bitcoin to thrive within a global DeFi ecosystem.
