Adventure Layer Mainnet is designed to be EVM equivalent, which means Adventure Layer Mainnet looks exactly like Ethereum in every way possible. Almost all Ethereum tooling works out of the box on Adventure Layer Mainnet, including the Solidity smart contract language. However, there are a few minor differences between Adventure Layer Mainnet and Ethereum that you should be aware of when building Solidity contracts.

​
EVM/Opcode Differences

Most smart contracts will work on Adventure Layer Mainnet without any changes. Check out the Differences Between Ethereum and Adventure Layer Mainnet page for a detailed list of the few differences you should know about.

​
Gas Differences

Adventure Layer Mainnet uses the same gas costs as Ethereum. However, Adventure Layer Mainnet also charges an L1 Data Fee for the cost of publishing an L2 transaction to L1. This fee is charged based on the size of a transaction in bytes. As a result, smart contract optimization techniques can differ slightly on Adventure Layer Mainnet. Refer to the Contract Optimization guide for more information.
