Accounts

Predeployed accounts​

Devnet predeploys --accounts with some --initial-balance. To hide the details of these accounts use --hide-predeployed-accounts. The accounts get charged for transactions according to the --gas-price. A --seed can be used to regenerate the same set of accounts. Read more about it in the Run section.

To get the code of the account (currently OpenZeppelin v0.5.1), use one of the following:

  • GET /get_code?contractAddress=<ACCOUNT_ADDRESS>
  • Starknet CLI: starknet get_code --contract_address <ACCOUNT_ADDRESS> --feeder_gateway_url <DEVNET_URL>
  • GitHub repository

You can use the accounts in e.g. starknet-hardhat-plugin via:

const account = await starknet.OpenZeppelin.getAccountFromAddress(
  ADDRESS,
  PRIVATE_KEY
);

Custom implementation​

To make the predeployed accounts use an account implementation of your choice, you can provide the path to a contract compilation artifact:

starknet-devnet --account-class path/to/my/account.json

Fetch predeployed accounts​

GET /predeployed_accounts

Response:

[
  {
    "initial_balance": 1e+21,
    "address": "0x7c3e2...",
    "private_key": "0x6160...",
    "public_key": "0x6a5540..."
  },
  ...
]

Fetch account balance​

GET /account_balance?address=<HEX_ADDRESS>

Response:

{
  "amount": 123...456,
  "unit": "wei"
}

Argent​

If you attempt to deploy an Argent account to Devnet (e.g. via the Argent X browser extension), you may get an error like:

Class with hash 0x25ec026985a3bf9d0cc1fe17326b245dfdc3ff89b8fde106542a3ea56c5a918 is not declared

That means the ArgentProxy class is not declared. You can either declare it manually or run Devnet in forked mode, forking it from a network where this class is declared, e.g. alpha-goerli:

$ starknet-devnet --fork-network alpha-goerli
