Building on the Botanix EVM is synonymous with building on Ethereum. Building dApps will not require a translation layer and they are easily portable from Ethereum to Botanix. 

On the following pages, you will find general information on common tools used for developing dApps on EVM-compatible chains. Next, you will find how you can Build on Botanix. We have gathered information for our three main groups of builders:

1. People who built on Bitcoin before and now want to build on the Botanix EVM - see [Chain Information](/botanix/user-tutorials/chain-information.md)
2. People who are used to building applications on the EVM and want to start from scratch - see [Develop a new dApp](/botanix/build-applications/build-on-the-botanix-evm/develop-a-new-dapp.md)
3. People who want to migrate an existing application from another chain to the Botanix EVM - see [Migrate existing dApps](/botanix/build-applications/build-on-the-botanix-evm/migrate-existing-dapps.md)

Happy building!
