Starknet.js is the official JavaScript/TypeScript library for interacting with the Starknet L2 network, a ZK-rollup scaling solution for Ethereum. It provides Provider, Account, Contract, and Signer APIs for reading blockchain state, signing transactions, and calling smart contracts written in Cairo.

Use cases

• connect a dapp frontend to the starknet network
• call and invoke starknet smart contracts from javascript
• sign transactions and messages with a starknet account
• deploy new contracts and accounts on starknet
• read blockchain state like blocks and contract storage
• convert cairo types like uint256 to javascript big numbers
• build a wallet or trading interface on starknet
• monitor starknet events over websockets

When to choose

• you are building a web or node.js application on starknet
• you need the official, well-documented client library with full TypeScript support
• you want to interact with Cairo contracts from JavaScript with automatic type transformations
• you need both HTTP and WebSocket RPC channels to starknet nodes

When to avoid

• you are developing contracts in Cairo rather than interacting with them from JS
• you target a different blockchain like Ethereum L1 directly (use ethers.js or viem)
• you need a non-JavaScript language binding for starknet
