Overview

Electroneum Smart Chain Development Documentation

This documentation is designed to help you build with the Electroneum Smart Chain. It covers the tech stack and documents advanced topics for more complex applications and use cases.

Most of this documentation was inspired by the official Ethereum documentation as similar concepts apply to the Electroneum Smart Chain.

Development modules

If this is your first attempt at Electroneum Smart Chain development, we recommend starting at the beginning and working your way through like a book.

Foundational topics
