Quick Start

Foundry network provider plugin for Ape. Foundry is a development framework written in Rust for Ethereum that includes a local network implementation.

Dependencies

Installation

via pip

You can install the latest release via pip:

pip install ape-foundry

via setuptools

You can clone the repository and use setuptools for the most up-to-date version:

git clone https://github.com/ApeWorX/ape-foundry.git
cd ape-foundry
python3 setup.py install

Quick Usage

Use the --network ethereum:local:foundry command line flag to use the foundry network (if it's not already configured as the default).

This network provider takes additional Foundry-specific configuration options. To use them, add these configs in your project's ape-config.yaml:

foundry:
  host: https://127.0.0.1:8555

To select a random port, use a value of "auto":

foundry:
  host: auto

This is useful for multiprocessing and starting up multiple providers.

You can also adjust the request timeout setting:

foundry:
  request_timeout: 20  # Defaults to 30
  fork_request_timeout: 600  # Defaults to 300

Mainnet Fork

The ape-foundry plugin also includes a mainnet fork provider. It requires using another provider that has access to mainnet.

Use it in most commands like this:

ape console --network :mainnet-fork:foundry

Specify the upstream archive-data provider in your ape-config.yaml:

foundry:
  fork:
    ethereum:
      mainnet:
        upstream_provider: alchemy

Otherwise, it defaults to the default mainnet provider plugin. You can also specify a block_number and evm_version.

If the block number is specified, but no EVM version is specified, it is automatically set based on the block height for known networks.

NOTE: Make sure you have the upstream provider plugin installed for ape.

ape plugins install alchemy

Remote Anvil Node

To connect to a remote anvil node, set up your config like this:

foundry:
  host: https://anvil.example.com

Now, instead of launching a local process, it will attempt to connect to the remote anvil node and use this plugin as the ape interface.

To connect to a remote anvil node using an environment variable, set APE_FOUNDRY_HOST:

export APE_FOUNDRY_HOST=https://your-anvil.example.com`

Impersonate Accounts

You can impersonate accounts using the ape-foundry plugin. To impersonate an account, do the following:

import pytest

@pytest.fixture
def whale(accounts):
    return accounts["example.eth"]

To transact, your impersonated account must have a balance. You can achieve this by using a forked network and impersonating an account with a balance. Alternatively, you can set your node's base fee and priority fee to 0.

To programtically set an account's balance, do the following:

from ape import accounts

account = accounts["example.eth"]
account.balance = "1000 ETH"  # This calls `anvil_setBalance` under-the-hood.

Base Fee and Priority Fee

Configure your node's base fee and priority fee using the ape-config.yaml file.

foundry:
  base_fee: 0
  priority_fee: 0

Auto-mining

Anvil nodes by default auto-mine. However, you can disable auto-mining on startup by configuring the foundry plugin like so:

foundry:
  auto_mine: false

Else, you can disable auto-mining using the provider instance:

from ape import chain

anvil = chain.provider
anvil.auto_mine = False  # calls `anvil_setAutomine` RPC.

Mine on an interval

By default, Anvil will mine a new block every time a transaction is submitted. To mine on an interval instead, set the block_time config:

foundry:
  block_time: 10  # mine a new block every 10 seconds

EVM Version (hardfork)

To change the EVM version for local foundry networks, use the evm_version config:

foundry:
  evm_version: shanghai

To change the EVM version for forked networks, set it the specific forked-network config(s):

foundry:
  fork:
    ethereum:
      mainnet:
        evm_version: shanghai
