Practical overview

When it fits

Use starknet-rs when a Rust application needs Starknet connectivity or contract-related components, and its experimental status and documented protocol versions fit the project.

Who it is for

  • Rust developers building applications that read from or submit operations to Starknet.
  • Teams creating Starknet client integrations or Rust tooling around the documented JSON-RPC interface.
  • Developers who need contract, account, signer or Ledger hardware-wallet components.

Documented uses

  • Query Starknet nodes through JSON-RPC over HTTP or use WebSocket subscriptions.
  • Connect to sequencer and feeder gateway services.
  • Deploy and interact with Starknet smart contracts.
  • Use account-contract signers and Ledger hardware-wallet support in Rust integrations.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

  • The README recommends the umbrella starknet crate, which re-exports other workspace crates, while also providing focused crates for providers, contracts, signers and other components.
  • The published crates.io version may lag behind the GitHub repository; the README shows both dependency declaration options.
  • The repository identifies Starknet version 0.14.0 and JSON-RPC specification version 0.9.0.
  • WebSocket support is described for subscriptions; HTTP is also listed as a JSON-RPC transport.
  • ABI-based strongly typed smart-contract binding generation is marked incomplete.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Add starknet-rs to a Rust project

Declare the starknet crate as a project dependency using the documented Cargo configuration.

Before you start

  • A Rust project with a Cargo.toml file.

Steps

  1. Open the project's Cargo.toml.

  2. Add the dependency under [dependencies] as starknet = "0.17.0" to use the crates.io package.

  3. Alternatively, specify starknet = { git = "https://github.com/xJonathanLEI/starknet-rs" } to use the GitHub repository.

Expected outcome

The Cargo manifest declares starknet as a dependency, using either the published crate version or the repository source.

Guide limitations

  • The README cautions that the crates.io version may be outdated.
  • This setup guidance does not document a build or runtime test.
  • The library is described as experimental, with breaking changes possible before a stable release.
