# Quick start

#### Quick Start Guide: Deploy Your First Contract on Creator

In this guide, we'll walk you through deploying a sample contract on Creator in under 10 minutes using Remix IDE. Let’s get you started!

**Get Started**

1. **Prepare Your Environment**
   * Add Creator Testnet to MetaMask by following our step-by-step guide.
   * Ensure you have Sepolia ETH and have bridged it to the Creator Testnet Network. For instructions, see our Testnet Faucets guide.
2. **Set Up Remix IDE**
   * Remix is a user-friendly tool for smart contract development, providing a straightforward deployment process, debugging capabilities, and contract interaction.

**Sample Code**

We’ll use the `1_Storage.sol` contract provided by Remix, but you can deploy your own code as well. This example includes functionality to store and retrieve a number and registers the contract with the SFS (Sequencer Fee Sharing) registry.

Here’s the sample code for `1_Storage.sol`:

```solidity
// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-3.0

pragma solidity ^0.8.20;

interface Sfs {
    function register(address _recipient) external returns (uint256 tokenId);
}

contract Storage {
    uint256 number;

    constructor(){
        // SFS contract address on testnet
        Sfs sfsContract = Sfs(0xBBd707815a7F7eb6897C7686274AFabd7B579Ff6); 
        // Register this contract and assign the NFT to the deployer
        sfsContract.register(msg.sender); 
    }
    
    function store(uint256 num) public {
        number = num;
    }

    function retrieve() public view returns (uint256){
        return number;
    }
}
```

This contract allows you to store a number and read it back while also registering it with the SFS registry.

**Deployment Steps**

1. **Paste and Compile Code**
   * Copy the sample code into a `.sol` file in Remix.
   * Go to the **Solidity Compiler** tab, select the contract, and click **Compile**. Enable **Auto Compile** for automatic recompilation with changes.
   * Set the EVM version to **London** in the advanced settings to avoid compatibility issues.
2. **Deploy the Contract**
   * Switch to the **Deploy & Run Transactions** tab.
   * In the **Environment** dropdown, select **Injected Provider - MetaMask** to connect MetaMask with Remix.
   * Ensure MetaMask is set to the Creator Testnet.
   * Choose the compiled contract and click **Deploy**.
   * Confirm the transaction in MetaMask, which will display minimal fees, typically around $0.35 or 0.00018852 ETH.

**Congratulations! 🎉**
