Modus

Mode Developers is the official developer resource hub for Mode, an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible Layer 2 blockchain built using the Optimism stack. Mode is part of the Superchain ecosystem, designed to enable scalable, low-cost smart contract deployment while integrating with a broader network of Layer 2 chains. Mode Developers offers comprehensive guides and tools to help developers deploy their first smart contracts on Mode and participate in its growing ecosystem.

The platform is aimed at DeFi developers, infrastructure teams, and enterprise blockchain developers who want to leverage Mode's low gas fees, predictable revenue mechanisms, and interoperability within the Superchain. Mode incorporates unique features such as Sequencer Fee Sharing (SFS), which redistributes transaction fees back to network participants, and on-chain referral programs that incentivize ecosystem growth. By deploying on Mode, developers also gain eligibility to participate in Optimism's retroactive public goods funding rounds, providing additional financial incentives.

Getting started with Mode Developers involves following detailed documentation to deploy smart contracts and engage with the community via Discord and GitHub. The open-source nature of the developer guides and active community support make onboarding straightforward. Mode’s integration with the Optimism stack ensures compatibility with existing Ethereum tools and workflows, reducing friction for teams migrating or launching new projects on Layer 2.
