Notes for Starknet API

When communicating with a Starknet node, the client uses the Starknet JSON-RPC specification — distinct from Ethereum JSON-RPC. The recommended library for JavaScript/TypeScript is starknet.js, and for Python use starknet.py.

ZK rollup with a custom VM (Cairo VM) and its own account abstraction model — not EVM-compatible.

You can also access Starknet directly through the Chainstack MCP server — query live on-chain data, deploy nodes, request testnet funds from the faucet, and search Chainstack docs from Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, ChatGPT, Codex, Pi, Gemini, or any MCP-compatible or SKILL-compatible AI agent.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Starknet?

Starknet is a Cairo-native zk-rollup where STARK proofs enable unlimited computation and volition lets contracts choose on-chain or off-chain data availability.

How to get Starknet RPC endpoint?

Open a free Chainstack account, then access your console. Hit Add node, pick the Starknet network, and spin up your node with one click. Once it’s up, click Access & credentials and take your personal RPC endpoint into your dApp.

How to run a Starknet node?

Launch a Starknet node on Chainstack Global Node, upgrade to a Dedicated Node for performance SLAs, or self-host your node using Starknet open-source software.

What is Starknet RPC API?

The Starknet RPC API lets you interact with the Starknet network over JSON-RPC. You can connect to it through an RPC node provider like Chainstack to handle requests without running your own node.

How much does it cost to run a Starknet RPC?

With Chainstack, Starknet RPC can be run at a predictable price without the DevOps overhead of self-hosting, which requires constant monitoring, updates, and incident response.

Is Starknet RPC free?

Public Starknet RPCs exist, but may be rate-limited. You can try a Starknet RPC endpoint on Chainstack for free with the Developer plan.

How to setup a Starknet RPC?

Quickly deploy a Starknet RPC endpoint with Chainstack. For self-hosting, build and run a Starknet node from the open-source documentation, which requires infrastructure knowledge.
