The Cyan Testnet phase introduces EVM functionality to the public BasedAI protocol. The below guide serves as an introduction to EVMs and a guide on how to get your smart contract deployed.

The following section outlines the steps for creating and deploying smart contracts on the BasedAI Cyan Testnet. The process is very similar to creating smart contracts on Ethereum, since BasedAI is outfitted with EVM compatibility.
What are Smart Contracts?
Smart contracts are digital agreements executed on a blockchain, eliminating the need for intermediaries. They are self-executing contracts where the terms of the agreement are directly written into code.
What is Solidity?
Solidity is a high-level, statically-typed programming language designed for writing smart contracts. It is influenced by C++, Python, and JavaScript, making it accessible for a wider audience of developers. It is recommended to have at least an introductory knowledge of one of these three languages before writing smart contracts with Solidity. This is also a great place to start.
What is the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)?
The EVM is the runtime environment for smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain. It executes contract code, manages state changes, and ensures the deterministic nature of contract execution. BasedAI's EVM-compatible architecture enables contract deployment and execution on its own blockchain.
