EVM Chains
Deploy tokens and NFTs on Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base, and 30+ EVM-compatible chains.
EVM -- 33+ Chains
Overview
EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) chains are the most widely supported blockchain ecosystem. ChainPortal supports 33+ EVM chains including Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, BSC, Avalanche, and many more.
All EVM deployments use the EIP-1167 minimal proxy pattern, reducing gas costs by up to 90% compared to deploying full contract bytecode.

Smart Contracts
All EVM contracts are deployed using OpenZeppelin's battle-tested libraries:
- Factory Contracts: Deploy new tokens/NFTs as minimal proxies
- Access Control: Owner-based permissions
- Reentrancy Guards: Protection against reentrancy attacks
- Pausable: Emergency pause functionality

90% Gas Savings: All EVM deployments use the EIP-1167 minimal proxy pattern. Instead of deploying full contract bytecode each time, you pay only for a tiny proxy — dramatically reducing your gas cost.
