In the previous article we have deployed our first virtual chain with a custom token. Let's now deploy some NFTs to it!

To do this we will use SpeedrunEthereum first challenge. We won't cover it here fully, as instructions are great in their NFT tutorial.

Instead, we will talk in detail about specifics of going through SpeedrunETH challenges in the context of your own virtual chain. So you will be able to pass all of them on it!

In this short tutorial we will show how by using Omnibridge and AuroraCloud, you can start your own EVM chain with a custom token from other chains (e.g., Solana, Base, Ethereum).

To do this we will create a custom token, bridge it to NEAR and use corresponding fungible token (NEP-141 on NEAR) as a gas token for a virtual chain.

In this short tutorial we will show how by using Omni Bridge you can bring your custom token from other chains (e.g., Solana, Base, Ethereum) to NEAR ecosystem.

To do this we have created a custom token called VGAS on Base already in previous tutorial.

Now, we want to bridge it to NEAR and use corresponding fungible token (NEP-141 on NEAR) as a gas token for a virtual chain in the next article.

Launching your base token using thirdweb

If a developer wants to have their own base token for a [virtual chain] launched via AuroraCloud, they can use, for example, OpenZeppelin or Aurora Contracts.

But what if you're just a beginner in the web3 world? thirdweb comes to the rescue here and provides an easy UI to do exactly that - deploy, mint, burn your own ERC-20, and even allows conducting airdrops with it.

Of course, to be used as a base token for your [virtual chain] that token will need to be bridged to NEAR first via [OmniBridge], but we will discuss that in the next article.
