# Setting up New Chains

Tellor is easy to deploy on any EVM chain.

For instructions on how to deploy the smart contracts: <https://medium.com/tellor/how-to-deploy-tellor-on-an-evm-chain-c0243c60a98f>

### Telliot Configuration

To configure telliot for your new EVM chain make sure you have [configured your telliot](https://tellor-io.github.io/telliot-feed-examples/getting-started/) first.\
\
To show your current configuration:

```solidity
telliot config show
```

### Add your EVM chain

#### Edit the chains file

The chains configuration file allows you to add a chain to your telliot configuration. For this example we will be adding the Kovan testnet chain. Edit the `~/telliot/chains.json` and add the following:<br>

```solidity
 {
      "type": "Chain",
      "name": "Ethereum Testnet Kovan",
      "chain": "ETH",
      "network": "kovan",
      "chain_id": 42,
      "currency": {
        "type": "EVMCurrency",
        "name": "Kovan Ether",
        "symbol": "KOV",
        "decimals": 18
      }
    }
```

#### Edit the endpoints file

Next we'll edit the `~/telliot/endpoints.yaml` file to configure Telliot to use our Kovan endpoint. If you don't have an endpoint, a free one is available at Infura.io. Simply replace INFURA\_API\_KEY with the one provided by Infura.

Add the following to your endpoints file:

```yaml
- type: RPCEndpoint
  chain_id: 42
  network: kovan
  provider: Infura
  url: wss://kovan.infura.io/ws/v3/{INFURA_API_KEY}
  explorer: https://kovan.etherscan.io
```

\
After your new chain has been added, you can now read the [Usage](https://tellor-io.github.io/telliot-feed-examples/usage/) section, and you'll be set to report.

For non-EVM chains, feel free to [reach out](mailto:info@tellor.io) and see if it's something we can do!
