Plugins for the StarkNet Ethereum L2 networks.
- python3 version 3.7 or greater, python3-dev
You can install the latest release via pip
:
pip install ape-starknet
You can clone the repository and use setuptools
for the most up-to-date version:
git clone https://github.com/ApeWorX/ape-starknet.git
cd ape-starknet
python3 setup.py install
Accounts are used to execute transactions and sign call data. Accounts are smart contracts in Starknet.
Out of the box, ape-starknet
comes with development accounts.
Access them like this:
from ape import accounts
container = accounts.containers["starknet"]
owner = container.test_accounts[0]
See the section below about Testing to learn more about test accounts.
However, when using a live network, you have to deploy the accounts yourself. To deploy a new account:
ape starknet accounts create <ALIAS> --network starknet:testnet
You can deploy the same account to multiple networks.
ape starknet accounts create <ALIAS> --network starknet:mainnet
See your accounts and all of their deployment addresses:
ape starknet accounts list
shows:
Alias - <ALIAS>
Public key - 0x123444444d716666dd88882bE2e99991555DE1c7
Contract address (testnet) - 0x6b7111AA4111e5B2229c3332B66696888164440A773333143333B383333a183
Contract address (mainnet) - 0x7873113A4111e5B2229c3332B66696388163440A373333143333B3833332122
Import an existing account:
ape starknet accounts import <ALIAS> --address 0x6b7111AA4111e5B2229c3332B66696888164440A773333143333B383333a183 --network starknet:testnet
You can also import an account by key-file, including a key-file you exported from your Argent-X browser wallet:
ape starknet accounts import <ALIAS> --keyfile path/to/keyfile.json
You can also delete accounts:
ape starknet accounts delete <ALIAS> --network starknet:testnet
NOTE: You don't have to specify the network if your account is only deployed to a single network.
In Starknet, you can declare contract types by publishing them to the chain. This allows other contracts to create instances of them using the deploy system call.
To declare a contract using ape-starknet
, do the following (in a script or console):
from ape import project, networks
provider = networks.active_provider
declaration = provider.declare(project.MyContract)
print(declaration.class_hash)
Then, you can use the class hash in a deploy system call in a factory contract:
from starkware.cairo.common.alloc import alloc
from starkware.starknet.common.syscalls import deploy
from starkware.cairo.common.cairo_builtins import HashBuiltin
@external
func deploy_my_contract{
syscall_ptr : felt*,
pedersen_ptr : HashBuiltin*,
range_check_ptr,
}():
let (current_salt) = salt.read()
let (class_hash) = ownable_class_hash.read()
let (calldata_ptr) = alloc()
let (contract_address) = deploy(
class_hash=class_hash,
contract_address_salt=current_salt,
constructor_calldata_size=0,
constructor_calldata=calldata_ptr,
)
salt.write(value=current_salt + 1)
After deploying the factory contract, you can use it to create contract instances:
from ape import Contract, networks, project
declaration = project.provider.declare(project.MyContract)
# NOTE: Assuming you have a contract named 'ContractFactory'.
factory = project.ContractFactory.deploy(declaration.class_hash)
call_result = factory.deploy_my_contract()
contract_address = networks.starknet.decode_address(call_result)
contract = Contract(contract_address, contract_type=project.MyContract.contract_type)
You can also deploy()
from the declaration receipt (which uses the legacy deploy transaction):
from ape import accounts, project
declaration = project.provider.declare(project.MyContract)
receipt = declaration.deploy(1, 2, sender=accounts.load("MyAccount"))
Otherwise, you can use the legacy deploy system which works the same as Ethereum in ape except no sender is needed:
from ape import project
contract = project.MyContract.deploy()
After you have deployed your contracts, you can begin interacting with them.
deploy
methods return a contract instance from which you can call methods on:
from ape import project
contract = project.MyContract.deploy()
# Interact with deployed contract
receipt = contract.my_mutable_method(123)
value = contract.my_view_method()
You can access the return data from a mutable method's receipt:
receipt = contract.my_mutable_method(123)
result = receipt.return_value
Include a sender to delegate the transaction to an account contract:
from ape import accounts
account = accounts.load("my_account")
receipt = contract.my_mutable_method(123, sender=account)
NOTE: Currently, to pass in arrays as arguments, you have to also include the array size beforehand:
receipt = contract.store_my_list(3, [1, 2, 3])
You can use starknet-devnet
accounts in your tests.
import pytest
import ape
@pytest.fixture
def devnet_accounts():
return ape.accounts.containers["starknet"].test_accounts
@pytest.fixture
def owner(devnet_accounts):
return devnet_accounts[0]
Additionally, any accounts deployed in the local network are not saved to disk and are ephemeral.
import pytest
import ape
@pytest.fixture(scope="session")
def ephemeral_account():
accounts = ape.accounts.containers["starknet"]
accounts.deploy_account("ALIAS")
# This account only exists in the devnet and is not a key-file account.
return accounts.load("ALIAS")
You can deploy contracts by doing:
from ape import project
my_contract = project.MyContract.deploy()
Starknet fees are currently paid in ETH, which is an ERC-20 on the Starknet chain.
To check your account balance (in ETH), use the balance
property on the account:
from ape import accounts
acct = accounts.load("Alias")
print(acct.balance)
If your account has a positive balance, you can begin paying fees!
To pay fees, you can either manually set the max_fee
kwarg on an invoke-transaction:
receipt = contract.my_mutable_method(123, max_fee=2900000000000)
NOTE: By not setting the max_fee
, it will automatically get set to the value returned from the provider estimate_gas_cost()
call.
You do not need to call estimate_gas_cost()
explicitly.
Currently, for local
networks, the estimated gas is always 0
as it is not yet required.
Currently, to deploy to Alpha-Mainnet, your contract needs to be whitelisted. You can provide your WL token in a variety of ways.
Via Python code:
from ape import project
my_contract = project.MyContract.deploy(token="MY_TOKEN")
Via an Environment Variable:
export ALPHA_MAINNET_WL_DEPLOY_TOKEN="MY_TOKEN"
Or, via the --token
flag when deploying an account:
ape starknet accounts create MY_ACCOUNT --token MY_TOKEN
