Getting Started with Starknet Devnet

Aug 4, 2022 | Blockchain

Starknet Devnet is a Flask wrapper for the Starknet state, designed to provide a simplified environment that mimics the Starknet Alpha testnet. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the transition from the outdated Python version to the more robust Rust version, along with access to essential documentation.

What is Starknet Devnet?

Think of Starknet Devnet as a virtual playground for developers. Just like a sandbox allows children to explore and experiment without the risk of damaging precious items, Starknet Devnet offers a safe space for developers to test and experiment with their projects in a low-stakes environment.

Step-by-Step Migration to Rust

As the Devnet in Python is no longer maintained, migrating to the Devnet in Rust is highly advised. Here’s a simple guide to make that transition smooth:

  • Visit the Rust Devnet repository.
  • Follow the setup instructions provided in the README file.
  • Run the Devnet locally to ensure your environment is correctly configured.

Documentation

Documentation is crucial for understanding how to utilize the Devnet effectively. You can find it at the following links:

Troubleshooting Your Setup

While transitioning, you might encounter a few bumps along the road. Here are some troubleshooting tips to help you out:

  • If you face issues with installation, ensure your Rust environment is correctly set up. You can test this by running rustc --version in your terminal.
  • Check compatibility with your projects—some dependencies may have changed with the migration.
  • Make sure to refer to the documentation for troubleshooting specific commands or functions.
