EVM interpreter written in Cairo, a sort of ZK-EVM emulator, leveraging STARK proof system.

GitHub Workflow Status GitHub GitHub contributors GitHub top language Telegram Contributions welcome GitHub Repo stars Twitter Follow

Kakarot is an Ethereum Virtual Machine written in Cairo. It means it can be deployed on StarkNet, a layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum, and run an EVM bytecode program. Hence, Kakarot can be used to run Ethereum smart contracts on StarkNet. Kakarot is the super sayajin ZK-EVM ! Why ? Because: It's over 9000!!!!!. It is a work in progress, and it is not ready for production.

Execution sample

Execution of a simple EVM bytecode program on Kakarot.

The bytecode is the following:

6001600503600301610166016002026105b40460020500

Which corresponds to the following EVM program:

0x60 - PUSH1
0x60 - PUSH1
0x03 - SUB
0x60 - PUSH1
0x01 - ADD
0x61 - PUSH2
0x01 - ADD
0x60 - PUSH1
0x02 - MUL
0x61 - PUSH2
0x04 - DIV
0x60 - PUSH1
0x05 - SDIV
0x00 - STOP

Here is the execution trace of the program on Kakarot:

Tutorial

Installation

Install the requirements:

# install poetry if you don't have it already
# curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 -
make setup

For Mac M1s (using brew, miniforge and conda):

brew install gmp
conda create --name cairo python=3.9
conda activate cairo
conda update -n base -c conda-forge conda
conda install pip
CFLAGS=-I`brew --prefix gmp`/include LDFLAGS=-L`brew --prefix gmp`/lib /opt/homebrew/Caskroom/miniforge/base/envs/cairo/bin/pip install ecdsa fastecdsa sympy
CFLAGS=-I`brew --prefix gmp`/include LDFLAGS=-L`brew --prefix gmp`/lib /opt/homebrew/Caskroom/miniforge/base/envs/cairo/bin/pip install cairo-lang cairo_coverage openzeppelin-cairo-contracts

Build

make build

Test

# Run all tests
make test

# Run only unit tests
make test-units

# Run only integration tests
make test-integration

# Run a specific test file
pytest <PATH_TO_FILE>  # with pytest
python3 -m unittest <PATH_TO_FILE>  # with unittest

Deploy

# On testnet
./scripts/deploy_kakarot.sh -p testnet -a admin

With:

  • testnet profile defined in protostar config file (testnet for alpha-goerli)
  • admin alias to the admin account (optional if it is your __default__ account, see also starknet account documentation)

Contract addresses will be logged into the prompt.

Inputs

To manage inputs sent to constructor during the deployment, you can customize the config files.
