Here's your complete roadmap to get started building on Supra. Supra is a vertically integrated L1 running the Supra-MoveVM — a fork of Aptos-MoveVM — so if you know Move you are already 90% ready. Let's get you shipped.

1. Understand the Stack

Supra is not just a chain — it is a full vertical stack of native primitives. Once you are on Supra you get everything built in:

Performance: 500k TPS via Moonshot consensus (formally verified with Microsoft's IVy Verifier). Sub-second finality.

2. Set Up Your Development Environment

Install the Supra CLI (Docker-based):

docker pull Entropy-Foundation/supra-toolchain:latest docker run -it Entropy-Foundation/supra-toolchain:latest

Initialize a new Move project:

supra move tool init --package-dir /supra/move_workspace/my_project --name my_project

This creates the standard structure:

my_project/ ├── Move.toml # Package manifest ├── sources/ # Your .move files go here └── Move.lock # Auto-generated dependency lock

3. Core Move Concepts

Move is a resource-oriented language. The compiler is your first auditor — it enforces type safety at compile time. Here are the essentials:

The 4 Abilities — every struct has abilities that control what you can do with its values:

// Resource stored on-chain permanently struct MyVault has key { balance: u64, } // Nestable data that can be discarded struct Item has store, drop { name: std::string::String, value: u64, }

Error Codes:

const ENOT_AUTHORIZED: u64 = 1; const EINSUFFICIENT_BALANCE: u64 = 2; public entry fun deposit(user: &signer, amount: u64) acquires MyVault { assert!(signer::address_of(user) == owner, ENOT_AUTHORIZED); }

4. Compile, Test, Deploy

# Compile your contracts supra move tool compile --package-dir /supra/move_workspace/my_project # Deploy to testnet supra move tool publish --package-dir /supra/move_workspace/my_project --profile myProfile --url https://rpc-testnet.supra.com

5. Set Up Your Frontend

Recommended stack: Next.js 14 + TailwindCSS v3 + Supra Multi-Wallet Connector.

npm install @crystara/supra-multiwallet npm install supra-l1-sdk

Basic wallet connection:

const provider = (window).starkey.supra; await provider.connect(); const accounts = await provider.account(); await provider.changeNetwork({ chainId: "6" }); // 6 = testnet

6. Your Ship Checklist

• Create an X/Twitter account and tag @Supra_Labs to get ecosystem visibility
• Write and deploy your first smart contract on testnet
• Build your frontend with Next.js + supra-multiwallet
• Set up an off-chain indexer for any list/history data
• Consider integrating a vertical stack primitive: dVRF, Oracles, or AutoFi
