Simular

A Python smart-contract API with a fast (embedded) Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). Simular creates a Python wrapper around production grade Rust based Ethereum APIs.

How is it different than Brownie, Ganache, Anvil?

It's only an EVM, no blocks or mining
No HTTP/JSON-RPC. You talk directly to the EVM (and it's fast)
Full functionality: account transfers, contract interaction, etc...

The primary motivation for this work is to be able to model smart-contract interaction in an Agent Based Modeling environment like Mesa.

Features

EVM: run a local version with an in-memory database, or fork db state from a remote node.
Snapshot: dump the current state of the EVM to json for future use in pre-populating EVM storage
ABI: parse compiled Solidity json files or define a specific set of functions using human-readable notation
Contract: high-level, user-friendy Python API

Build from source

You need Rust and Python, and optionally Make. We use hatch for Python project management, but it's not required
Create a local Python virtual environment. Within that environment install Python dependencies
Run make build or hatch run maturin develop
See simular/ for the main python api

Getting Started

See Simular Documentation for examples and API details.

Standing on the shoulders of giants...

Thanks to the following projects for making this work possible!
