wait. These, however, still only scratch the surface: storage, retrieval, and computing applications, a $300 billion industry, are more accessible to developers in the Filecoin ecosystem. FVM enables developers to build a large number of distributed applications (dApps) on the Filecoin network and shape the data economy for a wide audience from distributed data computing service users to Filecoin storage providers and customers.
FVM is the runtime environment for smart contracts on the Filecoin network. These smart contracts, also known as actors, can be written in Solidity. Its runtime is fully compatible with the EVM, which means developers are free to use whatever tools they are most familiar with. Additionally, you will be able to use properties of the Filecoin network such as crafting, monitoring, and interacting with storage transactions. Learn more at fvm.filecoin.io.If you are keen to use a distributed storage network like Filecoin to solve real-world problems, we recommend that you build with FVM. If you're looking for inspiration, here's what the community wants to see built on FVM。
This article will detail the developer tools to get you started on your FVM build journey.
Getting Started with FVM: A Developer Starter Kit
secondary title
Starter Kit 101
Would you like to deploy your first smart contract using FEVM (Filecoin Ethereum Virtual Machine, aka EVM Compatible Runtime on top of FVM)? Take a look at the starter kit for FVM. The Hardhat and Foundry starter kits provide simple contract templates for storing data on Filecoin using Solidity, making it very easy to get started with FVM. Additionally, you'll find contract templates for interacting with the filecoin.sol library, based on which seamlessly interact with the Filecoin protocol and its built-in system actors, all from your smart contracts.

Starter Kit 201
The Filecoin Ethereum Virtual Machine (FEVM) is a groundbreaking platform that allows developers to write logic directly on the metadata of storage transactions. At the same time, to help developers get started, we have also created solution-based starter kits to provide developers with a starting point for building various solutions.The kit first isProgrammable Storage Transaction Maker
, based on which developers can use smart contracts to automatically create storage transactions on the Filecoin blockchain and provide you with the flexibility to customize as needed. This tool allows developers to use smart contracts to simplify and automate the creation of storage transactions on the Filecoin blockchain, and also gives you the flexibility to integrate them in dApps as needed.we will be in soonsecondary title
block explorer
block explorer
The block explorer provides basic real-time and historical information about the Filecoin blockchain and network state, including transaction data, addresses, blocks, Filecoin actor interactions, storage providers, and more. Each of the following browsers will provide you with all these data points, with some differences in UI and SDKs/APIs, available for your smart contracts.
Beryx BrowserBeryx APIThe Beryx browser by the Zondax team is a comprehensive tool that makes it easy to extract data about the Filecoin network from the Filecoin network in a 'ready to add to your code' format, and to interact with custom smart contracts. view hereBeryx Client tool for JS, for subsequent use. existherehere

Key dApp building tools

Cross-chain building blocks
Cross-chain solutions make it possible to build various cross-chain projects, including cross-chain swaps, NFT bridging, cross-chain lending, etc. Two key actions required when building a dApp are transferring tokens from one chain to another and messaging. Regardless of which blockchain your dApp uses, you can use its native token and client contract transaction toolkit to create Filecoin storage transactions directly from your dApp, so you can seamlessly integrate Filecoin functionality into your dApp, thereby Reduces the need to involve a separate storage platform to access data for dApps.Celer is a blockchain interoperability protocol that enables a one-click user experience for accessing tokens, DeFi, GameFi, NFT, governance, and more across multiple chains. There are two bridging experiences on Celer: one is based on the liquidity pool mode, and the bridging is based on the deep liquidity pool using USDC, USDT and Ethereum; the other is the pegged token mode, on the Ethereum blockchain Create a package FIL. NFT bridging is implemented by the NFT bridging framework. For more information, please viewcBridge Documentationas well as。
Github smart contract exampleAxelar provides secure cross-chain communication for Web3, allowing you to build inter-chain dApps that go beyond a single chain. Axelar Filecoin Integration Axelar is truly distributed and permissionless, built on a proof-of-stake model. They enable cross-chain solutions by passing messages between chains using simple payloads. please checkAxelar Documentation

wFIL
Contract References
DEX
wFIL is created by depositing FIL into a smart contract that mines an equivalent amount of wFIL on the Ethereum (or other) blockchain, which can then be used in Ethereum or other DeFi protocols, such as distributed exchanges, lending platform and yield farming applications. wFIL support is available via Glif, cBridge, and will be available on Axelar soon!Filecoin SlackWe will be announcing DEXs from the community in the coming weeks! stay tuned#fil-builders channel。

Hackathons, accelerators, and morefollowingFVM SpaceWarp projectDevPostAfter a great success, we are excited to release the new builders program this quarter. To continue introducing new builders to build on FVM, we will work withCo-launchFVM Dataverse Hackathon. With over $40,000 in bounties, a list of challenge statements, 6+ partner technologies, and opportunities to connect with the FVM team, it's the perfect place for the Filecoin builders community. The event will be held online and is a great opportunity for building and networking. The hackathon will begin on May 1, with a deadline for submissions of May 23, 2023.。
