Quick Start

Umi Network brings MoveVM technology to the Ethereum ecosystem, offering dramatically reduced development costs and enhanced security while leveraging Ethereum’s existing user base and liquidity. This guide will help you understand how Moved functions as an extension of Ethereum and walk you through the steps to get started.

Quick-Start

How Moved Extends Ethereum

Umi Network 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, Moved runs on the MoveVM, which offers better safety guarantees and more efficient execution.

Getting Started with Moved

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

1. Setting Up MetaMask

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

Download MetaMask
Create a new wallet or import an existing one

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

2. Adding Umi Network - Devnet to MetaMask

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

Open MetaMask and go to Settings > Networks > Add Network.
Enter the following details:
- Network Name: Moved Devnet
- RPC URL: https://devnet.moved.network
- Chain ID: 42069
- Currency Symbol: ETH
- Block Explorer URL: https://devnet.explorer.moved.network
Save and switch to Umi Network - Devnet.

3. Bridging ETH from Ethereum to Moved

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

Visit the Moved 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 Network, 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 Network.
