# Getting Started

Looking to build a dApp on HyperPaxeer? Following this documentation and our academy
you can learn how and become part of the rich ecosystem of EVM builders on
Cosmos. Whether you are building new use cases on HyperPaxeer or porting an existing
dApp from another chain, you'll want to check out the sections on

1. Building and deploying [EVM Smart Contracts](./develop/smart-contracts)
2. Integrating [wallets](./develop/wallet-integration) (e.g. Keplr and MetaMask) into your Frontend
3. Available developer [Tools](./tools/index.md)

## Why develop dApps on HyperPaxeer?

The HyperPaxeer Core Development Team is on a mission to provide the foundational tools necessary for building the cross-chain
applications of the future, freeing developers from the confines of today’s siloed blockchains.

HyperPaxeer focuses on cross-chain **innovation** so that developers can build entirely new dApp experiences for their users.
Deploying smart contracts on HyperPaxeer is **easy**, as the HyperPaxeer blockchain is fully compatible with Ethereum and its rich
ecosystem of robust tooling, wallets, explorers, a surplus of assets, and intelligent end-users. At the same time,
HyperPaxeer allows developers to build **scalable** EVM dApp chains with the upcoming HyperPaxeer SDK and it hosts one of the
most active community governance that seeks **fairness** across all key actors (users, builders, and validators).

HyperPaxeer does this by leveraging the interoperability of the Cosmos Ecosystem and the market-dominating support for EVM
development. This allows dApp developers to use Ethereum smart contracts to implement the business logic on-chain
while having access to Cosmos chain functionalities, such as exchanging value with the rest of the Cosmos Ecosystem
through the Inter Blockchain Communication Protocol (IBC).

## Contributors

You can also contribute to the HyperPaxeer ecosystem without building a dApp. Head over to [tools](./tools/index.md) to learn
how to contribute as a full-stack developer by building new dev tools or [protocol](../protocol) to help
out building the core protocol.
