Developer Getting Started Guide

Developer Onboarding

To bring your dApp to Mezo, you can follow one of two paths: the permissionless deployment path, which is open to all, or apply for our high-support Alpha Builder Program.

Choose Your Onboarding Path

  • Alpha Builder Program: If you’re looking for dedicated onboarding and co-marketing support from the Mezo team, apply for the Alpha Builder Program.
  • Permissionless Deployment: You can deploy permissionlessly at any time. For community DevRel support during deployment, join the Mezo Discord. Ask your question in the general channel, and you’ll be directed to the developers’ channel, where you can access weekly DevRel office hours.

Development and Deployment Steps

  • Read the dApp Requirements to be eligible for featuring in the Mezo Market and other promotional support.
  • Configure your development environment for Mezo.
  • Complete the Deploy your dApp to Mezo tutorial to learn the full dApp development and Passport integration process on Mezo.
  • Deploy your dApp to the Mezo testnet. Use the Mezo Testnet network details.
  • Stress test the dApp to make sure it functions as expected. The Mezo testnet is the best place to find issues early before deploying to Mezo Mainnet.
  • Deploy your dApp to Mainnet. Use the Mezo Mainnet network details.
  • Monitor your dApp. Set up monitoring and alerts to track the health of your dApp and alert you to any issues. See the Monitoring guide for details.

Post-Deployment

To be featured on Mezo Explore, the Supernormal Foundation, and Mezo socials and Discord channels, fill out the dApp intake form.

Note: Submitting a third-party audit report, being fully functional on Mezo mainnet, and KYB are required for official announcements. The team will review your submission and queue it for announcement.
