◻️Using Remix on ZONA

Remix IDE is a web-based development environment for writing, compiling, and deploying Solidity smart contracts ideal for fast prototyping on EVM-compatible chains like ZONA.

With ZONA's EVM compatibility, you can deploy contracts to ZONA Testnet or Mainnet directly from Remix using MetaMask.

---

🧰 What You Need

• A browser with MetaMask installed

• Testnet ZONA tokens in your wallet

• RPC & Chain ID added to MetaMask (see: Connecting to Testnet)

• Remix IDE: https://remix.ethereum.org

---

🪜 Step-by-Step: Deploying to ZONA via Remix

---

1. Open Remix

Go to https://remix.ethereum.org

---

2. Write or Import Your Contract

Use or paste a Solidity contract into the editor. Example:

// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity ^0.8.20;

contract HelloZona {
    string public message = "Hello from ZONA!";
}

---

3. Compile the Contract

• Go to the Solidity Compiler tab on the left

• Select version 0.8.20 (or your contract version)

• Click Compile

---

4. Connect MetaMask to ZONA

• Open MetaMask

• Switch to ZONA Testnet (you should’ve added this network earlier)

• Make sure your wallet has test ZONA tokens

---

5. Deploy via Injected Provider

• Go to the Deploy & Run Transactions tab

• Under Environment, choose Injected Provider - MetaMask

• Select your contract from the dropdown

• Click Deploy

MetaMask will pop up and ask you to confirm the transaction. After confirmation, Remix will display the deployed contract address.

✅ You're Live on ZONA

Once deployed, you can:

• Call public functions

• Read and write storage

• Interact with your contract in the Remix UI

• View it on ZONA Testnet Explorer (Coming Soon)

---

🧠 Tips

• Use low gas (~100k–300k) as ZONA Testnet has low fees

• Deploy from a funded MetaMask wallet

• You can also import OpenZeppelin contracts via Remix Libraries

Remix + ZONA = Instant smart contract deployment with zero setup.
