ChainGreets started as a simple idea while exploring different Web3 ecosystems.
Over the past months, I've been interacting with several networks — MegaETH, Soneium, Robinhood Chain, Arc, Tempo — testing faucets, bridges, wallets, and transactions across these environments. That process made me realize something interesting:
I am not a professional developer. I'm someone passionate about technology, crypto, and learning how things work. So instead of only interacting with existing dApps, I decided to build a small project where I could experiment with different aspects of Web3 development.
ChainGreets is that project. It's essentially a personal playground to learn by building and interacting onchain.
The project is also heavily supported by AI-assisted development tools, which help explore ideas, write code, debug problems, and move faster when experimenting.
Another inspiration came from simple social dApps like OnChainGM and ZNS Connect — applications showing that even the simplest interactions, like saying GM, can become engaging when recorded onchain. ChainGreets builds on this idea while focusing on experimentation, learning, and multi-chain exploration.
At its core, ChainGreets enables a very simple interaction: sending a GM or GN message onchain.
In the first version, this works through a transaction where the message is encoded directly in the transaction data:
0x474d — ASCII "GM" in hex
0x474e — ASCII "GN" in hex
0xc0129d43 — keccak256 selector (testnets)
gm() function on the deployed SCMost experiments are currently performed on testnets, allowing safe experimentation with different networks. A very small optional fee may be added on some mainnet interactions to support development and infrastructure costs.
Beyond sending GM or GN messages, ChainGreets is also an experiment in:
ChainGreets is not meant to be a polished product.
It's meant to be a place to experiment, break things, learn, and improve.
If the project becomes useful or fun for others along the way, that's an added bonus.
Because in Web3, the best way to learn is often simply to build in public.
