Cairo Contracts

Reference for writing Cairo smart contracts on Starknet. Covers structure, storage, events, interfaces, components, and OpenZeppelin v3 patterns.

Optimization: After your contract compiles and tests pass, use the cairo-optimization skill as a separate pass.

When to Use

• Writing a new Starknet smart contract from scratch
• Adding storage, events, or interfaces to an existing contract
• Using OpenZeppelin components (Ownable, ERC20, ERC721, AccessControl, Upgradeable)
• Implementing the component pattern with embeddable_as
• Structuring a multi-contract project with Scarb

Not for: Gas optimization (use cairo-optimization), testing (use cairo-testing), deployment (use cairo-deploy)

Contract Structure

Every Starknet contract follows this skeleton:

#[starknet::contract]
mod MyContract {
    use starknet::ContractAddress;
    use starknet::storage::{StoragePointerReadAccess, StoragePointerWriteAccess};

    #[storage]
    struct Storage {
        owner: ContractAddress,
        balance: u256,
    }

    #[event]
    #[derive(Drop, starknet::Event)]
    enum Event {
        Transfer: Transfer,
    }

    #[derive(Drop, starknet::Event)]
    struct Transfer {
        #[key]
        from: ContractAddress,
        #[key]
        to: ContractAddress,
        amount: u256,
    }

    #[constructor]
    fn constructor(ref self: ContractState, owner: ContractAddress) {
        self.owner.write(owner);
    }

    #[abi(embed_v0)]
    impl MyContractImpl of super::IMyContract<ContractState> {
        fn get_balance(self: @ContractState) -> u256 {
            self.balance.read()
        }

        fn transfer(ref self: ContractState, to: ContractAddress, amount: u256) {
            // implementation
        }
    }
}

Interfaces

Define interfaces outside the contract module. Use #[starknet::interface]:

#[starknet::interface]
trait IMyContract<TContractState> {
    fn get_balance(self: @TContractState) -> u256;
    fn transfer(ref self: TContractState, to: ContractAddress, amount: u256);
}

• self: @TContractState — read-only (view function)
• ref self: TContractState — read-write (external function)

Storage

Basic Types

#[storage]
struct Storage {
    value: felt252,           // single felt
    counter: u128,            // unsigned integer
    owner: ContractAddress,   // address
    is_active: bool,          // boolean
}

Maps

use starknet::storage::Map;

#[storage]
struct Storage {
    balances: Map<ContractAddress, u256>,
    allowances: Map<(ContractAddress, ContractAddress), u256>,
}

// Usage:
fn get_balance(self: @ContractState, account: ContractAddress) -> u256 {
    self.balances.read(account)
}

fn set_allowance(ref self: ContractState, owner: ContractAddress, spender: ContractAddress, amount: u256) {
    self.allowances.write((owner, spender), amount);
}

Composite Key Maps (Nested Map Alternative)

Prefer composite key tuples over nested Maps:

use starknet::storage::Map;

#[storage]
struct Storage {
    // Map<(owner, spender), amount> — preferred over nested Map
    allowances: Map<(ContractAddress, ContractAddress), u256>,
}

// Usage:
let amount = self.allowances.entry((owner, spender)).read();
self.allowances.entry((owner, spender)).write(new_amount);

Events

#[event]
#[derive(Drop, starknet::Event)]
enum Event {
    Transfer: Transfer,
    Approval: Approval,
}

#[derive(Drop, starknet::Event)]
struct Transfer {
    #[key]    // indexed — used for filtering
    from: ContractAddress,
    #[key]
    to: ContractAddress,
    amount: u256,  // not indexed — stored in data
}

// Emit:
self.emit(Transfer { from, to, amount });

Components (OpenZeppelin v3 Pattern)

Components are reusable contract modules. This is the standard pattern in Cairo / OZ v3:

Using a Component

The Mixin pattern is the most common approach in OZ v3 — it exposes all standard interface methods (e.g., balance_of, transfer, approve) in a single impl block:

#[starknet::contract]
mod MyToken {
    use openzeppelin_access::ownable::OwnableComponent;
    use openzeppelin_token::erc20::{ERC20Component, ERC20HooksEmptyImpl};

    component!(path: OwnableComponent, storage: ownable, event: OwnableEvent);
    component!(path: ERC20Component, storage: erc20, event: ERC20Event);

    // Embed external implementations (makes functions callable from outside)
    #[abi(embed_v0)]
    impl OwnableMixinImpl = OwnableComponent::OwnableMixinImpl<ContractState>;
    #[abi(embed_v0)]
    impl ERC20MixinImpl = ERC20Component::ERC20MixinImpl<ContractState>;

    // Internal implementations (for use inside the contract)
    impl OwnableInternalImpl = OwnableComponent::InternalImpl<ContractState>;
    impl ERC20InternalImpl = ERC20Component::InternalImpl<ContractState>;

    #[storage]
    struct Storage {
        #[substorage(v0)]
        ownable: OwnableComponent::Storage,
        #[substorage(v0)]
        erc20: ERC20Component::Storage,
    }

    #[event]
    #[derive(Drop, starknet::Event)]
    enum Event {
        #[flat]
        OwnableEvent: OwnableComponent::Event,
        #[flat]
        ERC20Event: ERC20Component::Event,
    }

    #[constructor]
    fn constructor(ref self: ContractState, owner: ContractAddress) {
        self.ownable.initializer(owner);
        self.erc20.initializer("MyToken", "MTK");
    }
}

Writing a Component

#[starknet::component]
mod MyComponent {
    use starknet::ContractAddress;
    use starknet::storage::{StoragePointerReadAccess, StoragePointerWriteAccess};

    #[storage]
    struct Storage {
        value: u256,
    }

    #[event]
    #[derive(Drop, starknet::Event)]
    enum Event {
        ValueChanged: ValueChanged,
    }

    #[derive(Drop, starknet::Event)]
    struct ValueChanged {
        new_value: u256,
    }

    #[embeddable_as(MyComponentImpl)]
    impl MyComponent<
        TContractState, +HasComponent<TContractState>
    > of super::IMyComponent<ComponentState<TContractState>> {
        fn get_value(self: @ComponentState<TContractState>) -> u256 {
            self.value.read()
        }

        fn set_value(ref self: ComponentState<TContractState>, new_value: u256) {
            self.value.write(new_value);
            self.emit(ValueChanged { new_value });
        }
    }
}

Common Patterns

Reentrancy Guard

#[storage]
struct Storage {
    entered: bool,
}

fn _enter(ref self: ContractState) {
    assert(!self.entered.read(), 'ReentrancyGuard: reentrant');
    self.entered.write(true);
}

fn _exit(ref self: ContractState) {
    self.entered.write(false);
}

Pausable

use openzeppelin_security::pausable::PausableComponent;

component!(path: PausableComponent, storage: pausable, event: PausableEvent);

// In functions:
self.pausable.assert_not_paused();

Constructor Validation

#[constructor]
fn constructor(ref self: ContractState, owner: ContractAddress) {
    assert(!owner.is_zero(), 'Owner cannot be zero');
    self.ownable.initializer(owner);
}
