Quickstart

Zero to deployed, on testnet.

Four steps from an empty folder to a contract you can see on the explorer. Every config on this page points at real endpoints.

Step 1 and 2

Get on testnet. Gas first, then the network.

Deploying costs gas, even on testnet. Claim a little tBOT for the wallet you will deploy from, then add the network to your wallet and tools.

BOT Chain testnet

  • Chain ID968
  • RPChttps://rpc.bohr.life
  • Explorerscan.bohr.life
  • TokentBOT

BOT Chain mainnet

Step 3

Configure your tool.

Pick viem for an app, or Hardhat or Foundry for contracts. Each one ends with the deploy command.

chain.ts
import { defineChain, createPublicClient, http } from 'viem'

export const botChain = defineChain({
  id: 677,
  name: 'BOT Chain',
  nativeCurrency: { name: 'BOT', symbol: 'BOT', decimals: 18 },
  rpcUrls: { default: { http: ['https://rpc.botchain.ai'] } },
  blockExplorers: { default: { name: 'BOTScan', url: 'https://scan.botchain.ai' } },
  contracts: {
    multicall3: { address: '0x47FA21f684bBAD707A53a0f9BE59F1422F46C265' },
  },
})

const client = createPublicClient({ chain: botChain, transport: http() })
console.log(await client.getBlockNumber())

Step 4

Find it on BOTScan.

Copy the contract address from your deploy output and search for it on the testnet explorer. If it is there, you are on the path.

No setup? Deploy from your browser.

Uzo Deploy puts a token, an NFT collection or a tip jar on BOT Chain without a local toolchain, and verifies the source for you.

Open Uzo Deploy
Uzo Deploy with the Token template open: the form on the left and the deploy summary on the right

Deploy your first contract on BOT Chain

Practice on testnet with free tBOT. On mainnet a deploy costs gas plus a 0.1 BOT fee.
