# Quick start

In this section we'll get you deploying a sample contract on Mode in less than 10 minutes.\
\
Let’s see how to deploy a smart contract on Mode using the [Remix IDE](https://remix.ethereum.org) for simplicity.

## Get everything ready

Before getting started:

1. Follow [Add Mode](/user-guides/using-mode-mainnet.md#testnet) for the step-by-step on how to add Mode testnet to [Metamask](https://metamask.io/download/).
2. This guide assumes you have got Sepolia ETH and bridged to the Mode Testnet Network. Learn how to do that in [Testnet Faucets](/tools/testnet-faucets.md)

We are ready to get started!

## Remix & Sample Code

[Remix](https://remix.ethereum.org) is a no-setup tool for developing smart contracts. It’s easy to get started allowing a simple deployment process, debugging, interacting with smart contracts, and more. It’s a great tool to test quick changes and interact with deployed smart contracts.

There is a basic smart contract that will be used for the tutorial."><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

For the sake of this tutorial, we will be deploying the ‘1\_Storage.sol’ smart contract that comes as an example in Remix, but you can use any of your code.

We added a few lines of code to register this contract on the SFS. You can copy and then paste this in Remix or use your own contract code.\
\
Here's the sample code:

{% code title="1\_Storage.sol" fullWidth="true" %}

```solidity
// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-3.0

pragma solidity ^0.8.20;

interface Sfs {
    function register(address _recipient) external returns (uint256 tokenId);
}

contract Storage {

    uint256 number;

    constructor(){
    }
    
    function store(uint256 num) public {
        number = num;
    }

    function retrieve() public view returns (uint256){
        return number;
    }
}
```

{% endcode %}

## Steps to deploy

1. Copy the sample code and paste it in one of the .sol files in Remix
2. To compile your smart contract, go to the `Solidity Compiler tab` and select the contract you want to compile
3. Click on "Compile", you can also enable "Auto Compile" for automatic compilation whenever you change the contract code.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Make sure to open the advanced configurations and setting the EVM version to London. This is to avoid an issue with the <mark style="color:orange;">`PUSH0`</mark> opcode. You can read more on this specification with all Optimism chains [here](https://community.optimism.io/docs/developers/build/differences/#opcode-differences).
{% endhint %}

4. Once the smart contract is compiled successfully, switch to the "`Deploy & Run Transactions`" tab.
5. In the "`Environment`" dropdown menu, select "`Injected Provider - MetaMask`"; this will connect your MetaMask to Remix and will allow you to make transactions from that connected wallet.

{% hint style="info" %}
Make sure to have [Mode Testnet ](https://github.com/mode-network/documentation/blob/main/introduction/broken-reference/README.md)as your selected network in Metamask before deploying.
{% endhint %}

6. Select the compiled contract you want to deploy and click ‘Deploy.’

Now, MetaMask should pop up and ask you to confirm the transaction with super low fees.
