npm install @scure/starknet
import * as starknet from '@scure/starknet';
We support all major platforms and runtimes. For Deno, ensure to use npm specifier.
Note: the examples use the 'deepStrictEqual' function from the 'assert' built-in NodeJS module to compare values.
In Typescript, you must first install the '@types/node' npm package and then import like this: import { deepStrictEqual } from 'assert';
In vanilla Javascript, just do this: const { deepStrictEqual } = require("assert");

const { r, s } = sig;

Poseidon hash can be used in the following way:
type PoseidonFn = ReturnType<typeof poseidon> & {
m: number;
rate: number;
capacity: number;
};
function poseidonHash(x: bigint, y: bigint, fn?: PoseidonFn): bigint;
function poseidonHashFunc(x: Uint8Array, y: Uint8Array, fn?: PoseidonFn): Uint8Array;
function poseidonHashSingle(x: bigint, fn?: PoseidonFn): bigint;
function poseidonHashMany(values: bigint[], fn?: PoseidonFn): bigint;
// Hash chain
deepStrictEqual(
starknet.hashChain([1, 2, 3]),
'5d9d62d4040b977c3f8d2389d494e4e89a96a8b45c44b1368f1cc6ec5418915'
);
// Key grinding
deepStrictEqual(
starknet.grindKey('86F3E7293141F20A8BAFF320E8EE4ACCB9D4A4BF2B4D295E8CEE784DB46E0519'),

deepStrictEqual(
starknet.keccak(utf8.decode('hello')),
