⚠️ Disclaimer ⚠️

:::

Devnet should not be used as a replacement for Alpha testnet. After testing on Devnet, be sure to test on testnet (alpha-goerli)!
Specifying a block by its hash/number is not supported for contract calls. All interaction is done with the latest block.
There is no pending block. A new block is generated with each transaction.
Sending transactions with max_fee set to 0 is supported (not supported on alpha-mainnet or alpha-goerli).
Devnet is currently being adapted to StarkNet and Cairo v0.10.0, if you spot any issues, please report them.

Works with Python versions >=3.8 and <3.10.
