Use remix.ethereum.org - no need to install an app - uses the least amount of gas You can deploy contracts on various chains like Scroll, Linea, zkSync, Polygon zkEVM, and other EVM-compatible chains for testnets swiftly. For the mainnet, it uses real funds, but the gas usage isn't excessive. Just wait for low gas and proceed! ✅ Safe✅ Easier than expected✅ No need to install apps✅ This guide is nano-optimized (pun intended) for minimal gas usage, usable for creating transactions with cheaper gas than swaps.Let’s get startGo to https://remix.ethereum.org/ < Check if the URL is correct every time.Copy the code - paste the shortest, gas-efficient code directly. Continue to step 2 afterward.// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT pragma solidity ^0.8.0; contract SimpleContract { uint256 public value; constructor(uint256) { value = 0; } } Press the arrow button in File Explorer > New file > nano.sol Paste the code and press Save with ctrl+S.Press the blue "Compile" button (if it doesn't work, adjust the compiler at the top of the button to a version lower than 0.8.18).Press "Deploy Contract" following the arrow (Remember to include the number 2 as shown). Set Metamask on the top to the desired network > Then press the deploy button and confirm gas payment.Change 3m gas limit to 300k✅ Success in 4 steps! Yay!Verify contract (Optiona)You can verify the deployed EVM contract by going to a block explorer like Etherscan or BSCScan.Click on "Verify Contract," then fill in the required details: the contract address and the Solidity version.Red circle: Check the version and license. Green circle: Copy the entire code and paste it to verify as shown in the image below.Insert the previously used code, then sign. 🚩That's it! Verification will be complete.
