— the L2 built for the Shiba Inu Ecosystem, designed for scalability, low fees, and seamless developer experiences through full EVM compatibility. This guide walks you through building, deploying, and testing dApps on Shibarium, using the most popular Ethereum tools.

​
Overview

By following this guide, you will:
  • Connect your wallet and dev tools to Shibarium
  • Choose a development stack (Remix or Hardhat)
  • Deploy and verify smart contracts
  • Test and iterate on Puppynet
  • Prepare your dApp for mainnet and ecosystem listing
Shibarium is fully EVM-compatible. If you know Ethereum, you already know how to build on Shibarium!

​
1. Connect to the Shibarium Network

Add Shibarium RPC to your Ethereum-compatible wallet (e.g., MetaMask). Mainnet RPC: 
https://www.shibrpc.com
Chain ID: 109 For Puppynet (testnet) and more details, see the official docs.

​
2. Choose a Development Stack

Shibarium supports all major Ethereum dev tools:
  • Remix IDE
  • Hardhat
  • Truffle
  • Thirdweb
  • Replit

​
Deploy with Remix

1

Write a contract

Create a new file in Remix and paste:
// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity ^0.8.0;

contract SimpleStorage {
    uint storedData;
    function set(uint x) public { storedData = x; }
    function get() public view returns (uint) { return storedData; }
}
2

Compile the contract

Use the Solidity compiler in Remix.
3

Connect your wallet

Select Injected Web3 and connect MetaMask (set to Shibarium network).
4

Deploy

Deploy the contract and interact with it via the Remix UI.

​
3. Test and Iterate

  • Use Puppynet to test your contract before mainnet deployment.
  • Collect logs and test coverage using Hardhat.
  • Integrate with frontend frameworks (Next.js, Vite) using Ethers.js or Web3.js for a full-stack dApp.

​
4. Go Further

  • Add your token metadata to Shibarium’s official token registry.
  • List your dApp on the Shibarium dApp Store.
  • Contribute to the ecosystem by open-sourcing your work on GitHub.
