[**Shardeum**](https://twitter.com/shardeum) is **an EVM-based, linearly scalable smart contract platform that maintains true decentralization and solid security through dynamic state sharding**. This means Shardeum can increase its TPS capacity with each validator added to the network to retain low gas fees forever. [**Shardeum**](https://twitter.com/shardeum) is **an EVM-based, linearly scalable smart contract platform that maintains true decentralization and solid security through dynamic state sharding. Shardeum attract 18,2$ mln funding. This guide will help u to interact with Shardeum + deploy smart contract.**

3️⃣ Deploying smart contract
----------------------------

We gonna deploy **smart** **contract** via **Remix IDE**.

*   Create a "**New File**" under contracts with name _HelloWorld.sol_
    

P.S. You can choose any name in your contract instead of HelloWorld.sol > In case you’re using your own name, just don’t forget to change it in the code below

    string public message; // Declares a state variable `message` of type `string`.
    
    constructor(string memory initMessage) { // Constructors are used to initialize the contract's data. message = initMessage; // Accepts a string argument `initMessage`. }
    
    function update(string memory newMessage) public { // A public function that accepts a string argument. message = newMessage; }
    
    }

_contract_ ShardeumERC20Token _is_ ERC20 {

_constructor_(string _memory_ \_name, string _memory_ \_symbol) ERC20(\_name, \_symbol){ \_mint(msg.sender, 10000 \* 10 \*\* 18);

1️⃣ Proceed with **ADDing Liquidity with your token**, otherwise u won’t be able to make the swap

2️⃣ Proceed with the SWAPs to your token and back

I can see my **$DRV** (_drive_) token is here. Proceed with adding liquidity and swaps 🤟🏼
