What problem does it solve?
This guide removes friction for developers who need to start Kaia projects by consolidating network endpoints, SDK recommendations, explorer links, and deployment tips into a single, easy-to-follow reference.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Network configuration: Provides HTTPS and WSS RPC endpoints for Mainnet, Mainnet Archive, and the Kairos testnet, plus faucet information.
- SDK & tooling guidance: Recommends ethers-ext and viem-ext with usage guidance and notes on compatibility with Hardhat, Foundry, and Remix.
- Troubleshooting & best practices: Foundry deployment tips, unit and denomination guidance, deprecated SDK warnings, and block explorer references for verification.
- Use case: Onboard a new developer to deploy and verify contracts on Kairos testnet, configure a local toolchain, and connect wallets to the correct RPC endpoints.
Quick Start
Create a new Kaia project, install ethers-ext or viem-ext, and connect your client to the Kairos testnet using the public-en-kairos.node.kaia.io RPC endpoint.
