# Getting Started

Rome enables L2s, Ethereum, Bitcoin, and Cosmos to **scale and compose with Solana**. Deploy your L2s and EVM dApps on Solana, and build interoperable apps across L2s and Solana using Rome SDK for [atomic transaction execution](https://docs.rome.builders/shared-sequencer/atomicity).

This documentation walks you through setting up your own EVM L2 using Rome stack, deploying contracts on Rome EVM, and using Rome SDK for cross-chain interoperability between L2s and Solana.
