Cairo DevEx just got better thanks to these new features

Starknet developers voiced frustration over the complex setup of essential tools like Scarb and Starknet Foundry—previously requiring multi-step processes and plugins. In response, the community has introduced a streamlined one-liner installation tool that automates configuration, dependency management, and setup. This improvement significantly enhances developer productivity and lowers the entry barrier for building on Starknet, an Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solution using Cairo smart contracts.

Key Ideas

One-Liner Installation: Automates setup for Scarb and Starknet Foundry, removing developer friction.
Faster Onboarding: Accelerates Cairo contract development and testing by eliminating configuration hassles.

There were many strategic opportunities unlocked in the Starknet ecosystem that could lead to early-stage investments or developer partnerships.
