The default project includes a code sample with a configured smart contract.  ## Compile a Remix contract Navigate to the **Solidity compiler** tab on the left navigation and click **Compile contract**.  ## Deploy the contract You can deploy a smart contract using the injected provider, meaning Remix can auto-detect the network you're on and your account information. To do this, navigate to the **Deploy & run transactions** tab. Public endpoints are rate limited and not meant for production systems We recommend using a node provider such as Infura. [Sign up for an Infura account](https://docs.metamask.io/developer-tools/dashboard/) to generate an API key. In the dashboard, enable the Linea endpoints you want to use with that key. Then, [manually add a network to your MetaMask wallet](https://support.metamask.io/hc/en-us/articles/360043227612-How-to-add-a-custom-network-RPC#h_01G63GGJ83DGDRCS2ZWXM37CV5) using the [network information](/network/build/connect). Switch to the Linea network (mainnet or testnets) in your MetaMask wallet, and from the **ENVIRONMENT** drop down, select **Injected provider - MetaMask**.  Then, select **Deploy** and confirm the transaction. This deploys the contract to the network selected in MetaMask. ## Customize and deploy with Linea integration With the latest update, you can now easily integrate the Linea network into Remix using the **Customize this list...** feature. This simplifies the deployment process by allowing you to enable Linea as an environment directly within Remix. ### Enable Linea in the environment list 1. Navigate to the **Deploy & run transactions** tab. 2. Under the **ENVIRONMENT** dropdown menu, click on **Customize this list...**. 3. In the **Deploy using a Browser Extension** section, check the **L2 - Linea - MetaMask** option.  4. The **L2 - Linea - MetaMask** option will now appear in the **ENVIRONMENT** dropdown. ### Deploy a contract on Linea 1. From the **ENVIRONMENT** dropdown, select **L2 - Linea - MetaMask**. 2. Connect your MetaMask wallet, ensuring it is set to the Linea mainnet or testnet. 3. Compile your smart contract as described earlier in this tutorial. 4. Click **Deploy** and confirm the transaction in MetaMask.
