Deploying Solidity Smart Contracts on M1 using Fractal EVM runtime and Remix IDE

This tutorial demonstrates how to deploy EVM smart contracts on M1 using fractal.

In this tutorial you will learn how to:

Background

Note: The Fractal EVM runtime is still under development. We've provided an RPC at https://mevm.devnet.m1.movementlabs.xyz for early stage demoing.

Fractal is an interpreter, transpiler, and runtime stack that enables the deployment of EVM smart contracts on M1 and other Move-based chains. The endpoint https://mevm.devnet.m1.movementlabs.xyz serves an ETH JSON-RPC which under the hood communicates with our on-chain EVM runtime implementation.

Fractal is the first technology to bring EVM compatibility to a Move-based chain. With Fractal, you can deploy Solidity contracts on M1 and other Move-based chains.

Pre-requisites

An EVM-compatible wallet like MetaMask.
Some familiarity with Solidity is helpful, but not necessary.
Use our faucet or use a dedicated bridge to move funds from M1 to your EVM wallet using the our EVM-Bridge

Setup

Add the move-evm network to your EVM-compatible wallet.
Property Value
Network Name
move-evm
Network RPC
https://mevm.devnet.m1.movementlabs.xyz
Network ID
0x0150
Network Currency
MOV
Ensure you have switched your Wallet network to the network added above, i.e., move-evm

Property	Value
Network Name	move-evm

Network Currency	MOV

Deploy Solidity Smart Contract on MoveVM

Open Remix.

Create a new Solidity Smart Contract. For example:

/// SPDX-License-Identifier: UNLICENSED
pragma solidity 0.8.18;

contract HelloMovement{
    string public message = "Hello Movement. Let's keep moving.";

    function sayHi() public view returns(string memory) {
        return message;
    }

    function changeMessage(string memory _newMessage) external {
        message = _newMessage;
    }
}
