Hi @sachanayush47!

You can still deploy a chain onto a brand new network. By running zkstack ecosystem init and entering the Hoodi RPC URL (e.g. https://ethereum-hoodi-rpc.publicnode.com) in the L1 network prompt.
Since there is no ZKsync ecosystem deployed on that network, you will have to deploy it yourself (simply by picking yes in the corresponding prompt).
You will also have to set up proper deployer, governor, operator etc wallets with funds that you control on the Hoodi network -- put them in wallets.yaml config.

Feel free to unmark this discussion as answered if you have any further questions.
