How Umi Extends Ethereum

Umi operates as a Layer 2 solution for Ethereum, enabling developers to deploy Move smart contracts while benefiting from Ethereum’s security and liquidity. Unlike traditional Ethereum smart contracts, Umi runs on the MoveVM, which offers better safety guarantees and more efficient execution.

Getting Started with Umi

To interact with Umi, you will need to bridge ETH and configure your Rabby wallet. Follow these simple steps:

1. Setting Up Rabby

If you don’t already have Rabby installed, download and set it up:

• Download Rabby
• Create a new wallet or import an existing one

To interact with Umi, you’ll need test ETH tokens, which you can request from a faucet.

2. Adding Umi - Devnet to Rabby

You need to manually add Umi’s Devnet to your Rabby wallet:

1. Open Rabby and go to Settings > Custom Networks > Add Custom Network.
2. Enter the following details:
   • Network Name: Umi Devnet
   • RPC URL: https://devnet.uminetwork.com
   • Chain ID: 42069
   • Currency Symbol: ETH
   • Block Explorer URL: https://devnet.explorer.moved.network
3. Save and switch to Umi Devnet.

3. Bridging ETH from Ethereum to Umi

To use Umi, you must first claim ETH from our Ethereum Devnet and then bridge it to Umi. The process is outlined on the faucet page:

Visit the Umi Faucet and follow the instructions to claim test ETH.

Once you have received your initial ETH, follow the 2nd step on the faucet instructions to send a transaction and bridge your ETH.

Next Steps

Now that you have ETH on Umi, you can begin deploying Move smart contracts and experimenting with the network’s capabilities. Check out the Deploy Contract for more details on building with Move on Umi.
