This package has been deprecated. Please use the Ethereum Package here
As of Sept 2023, this Kurtosis package has been deprecated and is no longer maintained. Please use the latest Ethereum Package here.
Package owners who rely on this eth-network-package are strongly advised to migrate to using the latest Ethereum Package here. Please reach out on the Kurtosis Discord if you have questions. Thank you!
This is a Kurtosis Starlark Package that spins up an Ethereum network.
This assumes you have the Kurtosis CLI installed and the Docker daemon running on your local machine.
To get started, simply run
kurtosis run github.com/kurtosis-tech/eth-network-packageBy default, this package spins up a single node with a geth EL client and lighthouse CL client and comes with seven prefunded keys for testing, but
these and other parameters are configurable through a json file Read more about the node architecture here. The package supports geth, nethermind, besu, erigon, reth el clients and lodestar, lighthouse, and teku cl clients.

}To run the package with your desired configuration (as specified in your eth-network-params.json file), simply run:
kurtosis run github.com/kurtosis-tech/eth-network-package "$(cat ~/eth-network-params.json)"Kurtosis Packages can be used within other Kurtosis Packages through composition. Assuming you want to spin up an Ethereum network and your own service together, you just need to do the following
# Import the Ethereum Package
eth_network_module = import_module("github.com/kurtosis-tech/eth-network-package/main.star")
# main.star of your Ethereum Network + Service package
def run(plan, args):
plan.print("Spinning up the Ethereum Network")
# this will spin up the network and return the output of the Ethereum Network package
# any args parsed to your package would get passed down to the Ethereum Network package
eth_network_participants, cl_genesis_timestamp = eth_network_module.run(plan, args)
