Before deploying your first smart contract on Vector Smart Chain (VSC) Mainnet, make sure you have the following ready:

• VSC-Compatible Wallet

  Use MetaMask, Xeta AI Wallet, or any EVM-compatible wallet.

  • Configure it for VSC Mainnet:
    • Network Name: Vector Smart Chain
    • RPC URL: https://rpc.vscblockchain.org
    • Chain ID: 420042
    • Currency Symbol: VSG
    • Block Explorer: https://explorer.vscblockchain.org

• VSG Tokens for Gas

  You’ll need a small amount of VSG to cover deployment gas fees. Unlike other chains, VSC uses a flat-rate, non-variable gas system with a built-in burn mechanism, making every transaction contribute to VSG’s hyper-deflationary model.

• Development Tools Installed

  • Remix IDE (browser-based, no install required)
  • Hardhat (Node.js + npm/yarn required)
  • Foundry (Rust-based, installed via foundryup)
  • (Optional) Visual Studio Code for editing Solidity contracts locally
