Anvil is a fast local Ethereum development node.

Anvil is part of the Foundry suite and is installed alongside forge, cast and chisel. If you haven’t installed Foundry yet, see Foundry installation.

Getting started

To use Anvil, simply type anvil. To fork against a live Ethereum network run anvil --fork-url <RPC_URL>.
