### Introduction to EVM Deployment <a href="#where-should-i-start" id="where-should-i-start"></a>

If you're brand new to Nautilus Proteus Testnet, we recommend checking out any other EVM chain's "Hello World" tutorial. For example, you can try out Ethereum's [guide to deploying a basic contract](https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/smart-contracts/deploying/). The only things that you'll change are the following:

* First: claim our testnet tokens using our [Proteus Faucet](https://proteusfaucet.nautchain.xyz/).
* Wherever it says "Ethereum mainnet URL", instead use the following URL: **<https://proteus.api.nautchain.xyz>**
* Chain ID: **88002**
* Wherever it says "block explorer URL", use the following URL:[ ](https://triton.nautscan.com)<https://proteus.nautscan.com/>

Nautilus is EVM-compatible, so more than likely the process will be as simple as deploying a contract to Ethereum.
