This guide will show you how to deploy a smart contract on the Taiko Jolnir L2 testnet.

Before we get started, you might be wondering why we're deploying a smart contract on the Taiko Jolnir L2 testnet. The reason is that it could help you with the Taiko airdrop.

Here's the deal with the Jolnir L2 testnet: it can reward you for doing specific tasks, which in turn boosts your chances of qualifying for the airdrop. And the best part is, it won't cost you a dime to participate.

To ensure you don't miss out on this opportunity, we've put together a step-by-step guide on putting a smart contract on the Taiko Jolnir L2 testnet.
