# Chain guides

Per-chain guides — venue, gas, explorer, and status for every network Novamp supports.

A quick index to Novamp's per-chain guides. Each guide covers that chain's venue, gas, reservations, and contracts.

## Overview

Novamp is live across **five EVM chains and Solana**. EVM chains launch tokens **directly onto a real DEX pool** (tradable from block 0); Solana launches through **Pump.fun**. HyperEVM's direct-pool launchpad — Path B, on **HyperSwap v3** — went live **2026-07-21**; its older SherSwap bonding-curve stack now serves legacy markets only.

## How to use these guides

1. Compare chains in [Supported Chains](/welcome-to-novamp/supported-chains.md).
2. Open the guide for the chain you'll trade or launch on.
3. Check the chain's venue and gas coin, then connect a wallet and [switch to that network](/getting-started/switch-networks.md).

## What happens next?

Once you've picked a chain, connect your wallet, switch to that network, and head to Discover to trade — or to the launch wizard to deploy.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.novamp.io/getting-started/chain-guides.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
