🛠️ Quick Setup (~15 mins)

It may seem daunting to develop in a new framework at first - but with Cairo’s Rust-like syntax and extensive developer tooling - it is not as much of a challenge as you might think. Read what Moody Salem, the ex-head of Solidity development at Uniswap Labs has to say -

As someone who has never written any Rust, I picked it up a few weeks ago and I'm as efficient in writing Cairo contracts as Solidity. It will be my preferred environment for writing smart contracts!

Step 1: Install Cairo (Local Machine)

• asdf tool
• scarb Package Manager
• Starknet Foundry
• VSCode Language Server
• RPC Endpoint
• *starkli CLI (optional if you have Starknet Foundry)*

Step 2: Developer Tools

• Starknet Wallets
• Create & Deploy Accounts with Starknet Foundry (sncast )
• Create & Deploy Accounts with starkli (optional)
• Local Development Network
• Faucets
• SDKs
• Indexer
• Oracles
• OpenZeppelin Libraries
• Block Explorers

📚 Developer Resources

Starknet uses a cutting edge proof system and a rock-solid codebase packed with new and exciting features. Our code is mostly open-source, and you can look up our existing codebase for inspiration. Here’s what Andrew Milson from Immutable had to say -

I inspected every line of code and I couldn’t find a bug which was honestly a bit disappointing considering how juicy Starknet’s bug bounty program is, but really impressive on Starkware's behalf
