Prerequisites

• Installed MetaMask extension in your browser.

2. Connect to Bitcichain: In the Remix interface, select "Solidity" on the left sidebar. Click on the "Deploy & Run Transactions" tab, and choose "Injected Web3" as the environment. This connects Remix to your MetaMask wallet.

Step 2: Write or Import Smart Contract Code

1. Write or Import: Write your smart contract code in the Remix editor or import an existing one.

2. Compile: Click on the "Solidity Compiler" tab, and compile your smart contract code.

2. Wait for Confirmation: Wait for the transaction to be confirmed on Bitcichain.

Step 5: Interact with Deployed Smart Contract
