sncast Overview

Starknet Foundry sncast is a command line tool for performing Starknet RPC calls. With it, you can easily interact with Starknet contracts!

💡 Info At the moment, sncast only supports contracts written in Cairo v1 and v2.

⚠️ Warning Currently, support is only provided for accounts that use the default signature based on the Stark curve.

How to Use sncast

To use sncast, run the sncast command followed by a subcommand (see available commands):

$ sncast <subcommand>

If snfoundry.toml is present and configured with [sncast.default], url, accounts-file and account name will be taken from it. You can, however, overwrite their values by supplying them as flags directly to sncast cli.

💡 Info Some transactions (like declaring, deploying or invoking) require paying a fee, and they must be signed.

Examples

General Example

Let's use sncast to call a contract's function:

$ sncast --account myuser \
    call \
    --url http://127.0.0.1:5050 \
    --contract-address 0x38b7b9507ccf73d79cb42c2cc4e58cf3af1248f342112879bfdf5aa4f606cc9 \
    --function get \
    --calldata 0x0 \
    --block-id latest

command: call
response: [0x0]

📝 Note In the above example we supply sncast with --account and --url flags. If snfoundry.toml is present, and have these properties set, values provided using these flags will override values from snfoundry.toml. Learn more about snfoundry.toml configuration here.

How to Use --wait Flag

Let's invoke a transaction and wait for it to be ACCEPTED_ON_L2.

$ sncast --account myuser \
    --wait \
    deploy \
	--url http://127.0.0.1:5050 \
    --class-hash 0x8448a68b5ea1affc45e3fd4b8b480ea36a51dc34e337a16d2567d32d0c6f8a

transaction_hash: 0x3062310a1e40d4b66d8987ba7447d1c7317381d0295d62cb12f2fe3f11e6983

transaction: https://starkscan.co/search/0x3062310a1e...

As you can see command waited for the transaction until it was ACCEPTED_ON_L2.

After setting up the --wait flag, command waits 60 seconds for a transaction to be received and (another not specified amount of time) to be included in the block.

📝 Note By default, all commands don't wait for transactions.
