What is an EVM-compatible blockchain?

An EVM-compatible blockchain runs the Ethereum Virtual Machine, meaning it can execute Solidity smart contracts. Examples include Polygon, BSC, Arbitrum, Base, and Optimism. Developers can reuse the same code across all EVM chains.

How do I create an ERC-20 token?

With ChainPortal, you can create an ERC-20 token in minutes. Choose your chain, configure name, symbol, supply, and optional features like minting and burning, then deploy with one click. No coding required.

Which EVM chain has the lowest gas fees?

Layer 2 chains like Arbitrum, Base, and Optimism offer significantly lower gas fees than Ethereum mainnet. BSC and Polygon also provide low-cost transactions for token and NFT deployment.

Can I deploy the same token on multiple EVM chains?

Yes. Since all EVM chains share the same smart contract standard, you can deploy identical ERC-20 or ERC-721 contracts on multiple chains through ChainPortal.

What wallet do I need for EVM chains?

MetaMask is the most popular EVM wallet. Rainbow, Rabby, and Coinbase Wallet also work across all EVM chains supported by ChainPortal.

Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)

The EVM ecosystem includes Ethereum and all EVM-compatible Layer 1 and Layer 2 blockchains such as Polygon, BSC, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, and Avalanche. EVM chains share the same smart contract standard, allowing developers to deploy Solidity contracts across 30+ networks with minimal changes.
