Welcome to the Caduceus Docs 🥳. Let me get you started quickly.

Caduceus is a fast, EVM compatible blockchain dedicated to Metaverse and GameFi. You can read more about the technical details of the blockchain in the Caduceus Basics section. If you are new to blockchain and the Ethereum blockchain then i suggest you read our Blockchain Basics section.

Users

If you are a User and you wish to understand the wallets, D'Apps and projects that you can use then check out our Users section.

Metamask

If you want to see how to connect your MetaMask then you can go directly to the MetaMask section.

Developers

As entioned Caduceus is an EVM compatible blockchain. So you can use most of the Ethereum tools that you are used to. We recommend using HardHat, hence we have written a tutorial on how to connect Caduceus Testnet to your hardhat environment.

API

To see our full EVM API with examples and code snippets then go to our API documentation here: Welcome To Caduceus's API.

To briefly showcase our EVM API you can copy this curl to get the latest block number of the chain. Just like any other EVM chain. Try paste this in your terminal and see what you get! 😁

Curl


https://mainnet.block.caduceus.foundation is our mainnet RPC endpoint but you can see all the RPC endpoints and explorers and chainId's by going to Caduceus RPC Endpoints.

If you are looking for Caduceus Testnet tokens then you can go here Getting Testnet Tokens.

EVM Tools

Check out our EVM Tools section to see how to use Truffle, Python Brownie, Caduceus IDE (which is our Remix-like editor), Connecting Hardhat to Caduceus, and other tutorials that will help you bootstrap your development on caduceus 🚀

Nodes

If you are interested in running a node then please visit the Node Operators section. This will teach you how to set up your own node on mainnet.
