StarkShell

StarkShell is a virtual machine (VM) implemented inside a Cairo smart contract. This VM is Turing complete, has an on-chain interpreter and can execute a sequence of chained transactions. These are transactions where the output of one transaction can be directly processed as input for the next one, supporting additional logic as loops and conditions in between them.

This repository is currently undergoing a refactoring and upgrading process (to the latest version of Cairo).

Features

Repository Overview

The diamond contract:

• src/components/diamond

Functional extensions for diamonds aka. the facets:

• src/components/facets

  Configurability and upgradability:

  • src/components/facets/upgradability

  StarkShell facet:

  • src/components/facets/starkshell

Bootstrapper contract:

How To Get Started

1. Start your local development server

starknet-devnet

2. Make starkshell.sh executable and run the script for initializing the dApp.

chmod +x starkshell.sh
./starkshell.sh

The script deploys a root diamond, which itself is a VM. The functionality which is not covered by other components is programmed with StarkShell. The encoded instructions are in src/starkshell.
