How to: Build for the Rayls Public Chain
Rayls is a public EVM chain that runs the Axyl consensus algorithm on the Reth execution client. Rayls is 100% EVM compatible, which means any Ethereum contracts, tooling or wallets work without modification.
This guide explains how to deploy, interact, and build on Rayls.
Key Properties
| Feature | Detail |
|---|---|
| Consensus | Axyl (Rayls consensus algorithm) |
| Execution Client | Reth |
| Virtual Machine | EVM (fully compatible) |
| Address Format | Standard Ethereum 0x... addresses |
| Gas Token | USDr |
| JSON-RPC Compatibility | Fully aligned with Ethereum |
No new tooling is required. If it works on Ethereum, it works on Rayls.

Deploy using Foundry
forge create --rpc-url https://mainnet-rpc.rayls.com --private-key <PRIVATE_KEY> src/MyContract.sol:MyContract
Deploy using Hardhat
hardhat.config.js:
module.exports = { networks: { rayls: { url: "https://mainnet-rpc.rayls.com", accounts: [process.env.PRIVATE_KEY] } } };
Deploy:
npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.js --network rayls
Summary
Rayls is an Axyl-powered EVM chain that supports standard Ethereum contract deployment and the developer workflows that go with it, so if you know how to build on Ethereum you already know how to build on Rayls. There are no new languages to learn and no new frameworks to adopt, and you can deploy straight away.
