About

Kakarot RPC is the JSON-RPC server adapter to interact with Kakarot ZK-EVM in a fully EVM-compatible way.

This adapter layer is based on:

The Kakarot RPC layer's goal is to receive and output EVM-compatible JSON-RPC payloads & calls while interacting with the Starknet Blockchain. This enables Kakarot zkEVM to interact with the usual Ethereum tooling: Metamask, Hardhat, Foundry, etc.

Architecture

Here is a high level overview of the architecture of Kakarot RPC.

Getting Started

TL;DR:

Run kakarotup to install Kakarot RPC.
Test with cargo test --all.
Run Kakarot RPC in dev mode: RUST_LOG=debug cargo run -p kakarot_rpc

Prerequisites

Installation

kakarotup

To install with kakarotup run (kakarotup requires nightly rustup):

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sayajin-labs/kakarot-rpc/main/kakarotup | sh

Environment variables

Copy the .env.example file to a .env file and populate each variable.

cp examples/.env.example .env

Meanwhile you can just use unit tests to dev.

cargo test --all

Build from source:
