Quickstart

Deploy a contract

1. 1
   Open the console and pick a network

   Open the console. The network selector at the bottom of the sidebar decides where everything reads and writes. It starts on QIE Mainnet; choose QIE Testnet if you want to try things for free first.

2. 2
   Connect a wallet

   Use the wallet panel at the top of the sidebar to connect a browser wallet, or create a DevStation wallet on the spot. A generated wallet shows its recovery phrase before you can use it: write it down. See Wallets.

3. 3
   Get gas

   Testnets have a public faucet, linked from the wallet panel. On QIE Mainnet and BOT Chain Mainnet DevStation can top your wallet up with just enough to cover a deploy.

4. 4
   Choose a template

   Open Deploy and pick a template, such as an ERC-20 token or an NFT collection. The form is generated from its constructor, and every field is checked before anything is sent.

5. 5
   Deploy and confirm

   DevStation compiles the contract, asks your wallet to sign the creation transaction, and waits for it to confirm. The deployment is recorded in the onchain ProjectRegistry against your wallet.

6. 6
   Inspect it

   From the success screen, open the contract in the explorer, decode the transaction in Routebook, verify the source, or download a ready-made .env file. It also appears on your dashboard.

Next steps

1. 1
   Write your own contract

   The Contract Editor compiles Solidity in the browser, and Code with AI can draft it for you.

2. 2
   Build an app around it

   Describe a front end to the Coding Agent, watch it run in the preview, and publish it to its own address.

3. 3
   Sell what you made

   List a template, app, skill or UI kit on the Marketplace. You keep 95% of every sale.

4. 4
   Work from your terminal

   The DevStation CLI runs the same agent against a project on your machine:

   bashcopy

   npm install -g @devstationlabs/cli
   devstation login
   devstation

   The CLI guide covers everything else.
