Start using Rome EVM

Steps to add Rome network in MetaMask, request airdrop tokens, and deploy contracts.

1. Set up Rome network in MetaMask

To interact with the Rome network, add a custom network to your MetaMask using Rome network RPC and Chain ID. You can also add the Rome networks to your wallet using ChainList.

Which Rome network to use?

Rome Testnet serves as a playground for anyone who wants to take Rome for a test drive, as a user, token holder, app developer, or validator. It is built on Solana Devnet. Devnet tokens are not real.

2. Fund Your Wallet with rSOL (Gas Token)

To transact on Rome Testnet, you need to convert SOL into rSOL, Rome's native gas token.

You will need:

• An Ethereum-compatible wallet such as MetaMask with the Rome network added.

• A Solana wallet such as Phantom with SOL.

3. Get Test SOL via Solana Faucet

1. Create or open your Solana wallet. We suggest using Phantom.

2. Visit the Solana faucet: https://faucet.solana.com

3. Select the appropriate network: Devnet.

4. Airdrop SOL to your wallet.

If this approach does not provide SOL, use Solana CLI:

# To obtain SOL on Solana Devnet
solana -ud airdrop 1 6DT7ELv5vMKgcCLoVDhJLNUGRGuuAwQQPAzLaw1AvsLi

If you see rate limit exceeded errors, you can request test SOL in our Discord.

4. Use Rome Deposit UI

Convert your SOL to rSOL using Rome's Deposit UI.

• Deposit on Devnet using https://swap.devnet.romeprotocol.xyz/

How to Use:

1. Connect your Solana wallet (with Devnet SOL).

2. Connect your EVM wallet (with Rome RPC added).

3. Enter the amount of SOL you want to convert.

4. Complete the transfer to receive rSOL in your EVM wallet.

✅ You are now ready to make transactions

Once your EVM wallet is funded with rSOL, you can:

• Deploy smart contracts using Remix, Hardhat, or any familiar tool.

• Perform EVM transactions directly on Rome Testnet.
