## What You Can Build

MANTRA Chain supports standard EVM development with your favorite tools:

* **Smart Contracts**: Deploy Solidity contracts using Hardhat, Foundry, or Remix
* **dApps**: Build decentralized applications with standard Web3 libraries (Web3.js, Ethers.js)
* **DeFi Protocols**: Create DeFi applications leveraging native module precompiles
* **RWA Applications**: Tokenize and manage real-world assets on-chain
