{% hint style="info" %}
If you have deployed your smart contract with the same address on multiple chains, you need to choose one of these chains as an initial step, and can add all other chains in a second step to add the contract on all your chains simultaneously.

#### Step 4:  If necessary add the ABI of the contract.&#x20;

If the contract is published & verified on a block explorer the Name and ABI is automatically fetched.&#x20;

Otherwise upload the ABI as a .json file or paste it into the input field. Your ABI will stay 100% private.
