DevXStark

🚀 Problem Statement

Getting into the blockchain ecosystem is extremely tough for both users and developers.

• The user experience and developer experience still need significant improvements.
• Newcomers often feel overwhelmed when introduced to the ecosystem, leading them to quit early or avoid building altogether.
• In the Starknet ecosystem, developers face unique challenges due to the absence of no-code platforms, making it harder to get started.

💡 Our Solution

DevXStark bridges this gap by making it simple for developers (and even non-developers) to start building on Starknet (or other chains) with minimal coding required.

• We leverage AI agents to generate, assist, and deploy smart contracts.
• Our platform reduces the complexity of writing and deploying Cairo smart contracts.
• Users with limited technical knowledge can still build and interact with Starknet.

This means faster onboarding, lower learning curves, and an inclusive ecosystem.

⚙️ Challenges We Faced

During the hackathon, we encountered two major challenges:

1. Contract Compilation & Deployment

   • Unlike EVM-compatible chains, Starknet smart contracts compile differently.
   • Code is first compiled into Sierra, which is then compiled into CASM (Cairo Assembly).
   • Writing scripts and figuring out this compilation/deployment pipeline was a major hurdle.

2. AI Model Limitations

   • Due to time constraints, we couldn’t perform proper model training.
   • Current LLMs struggle to consistently produce error-free Cairo code ready for deployment.
   • Future iterations will include fine-tuned LLMs to generate more reliable and production-ready code.

🛠️ Tech Stack

• Starknet / Cairo → Smart contract development
• AI Agents / LLMs → Code generation and developer assistance
• Sepolia Testnet → Deployment and testing

🌍 Impact

By reducing the barriers to entry, DevXStark empowers:

• Developers → To quickly prototype and deploy without deep Cairo expertise.
• Users → To participate in blockchain development with low-code / no-code tools.
• Ecosystem → Faster adoption of Starknet, with improved accessibility and inclusivity.

📌 Future Work

• Fine-tuning LLMs for Cairo-specific code generation.
• Building a more intuitive no-code interface for end users.
• Expanding support to other blockchains beyond Starknet.
