# Getting started

Building your cross-chain app with Asterizm is as simple as it gets - just run the [Client off-chain module](/infrastructure/client-off-chain-module.md) and implement the <mark style="color:orange;">`_initAsterizmTransferEvent()`</mark> and <mark style="color:orange;">`_asterizmReceive()`</mark> interfaces to run cross-chain operations across EVM and non-EVM chains.

To get started, please check the [first step](/guides/getting-started/1.-deploy-your-smart-contracts.md) and [the second step](/guides/getting-started/2.-implement-off-chain-module.md).

{% hint style="info" %}
We recommend you to[ explore the cross-chain transaction flow](/guides/transaction-flow.md) before integrating Asterizm
{% endhint %}

You can run your first cross-chain dApp with a simple code example [here](/guides/code-examples.md).
