**Kakarot** is an Ethereum Virtual Machine written in Cairo. It means it can be
deployed on StarkNet, a layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum, and run any EVM
bytecode program. Hence, Kakarot can be used to run Ethereum smart contracts on
StarkNet. Kakarot is the super sayajin zkEVM! Why? Because:
`It's over 9000!!!!!`.
Kakarot is a zkEVM written in Cairo. It aims to allow users to leverage the
scaling benefits of validity rollups while maintaining compatibility with the
Ethereum ecosystem. Therefore, Kakarot can be used to run Ethereum smart
contracts on Starknet.

We strongly believe the CairoVM will provide the best zero-knowledge toolbox in
the coming years and that the Ethereum network effect will remain dominant in
the meantime. We present to developers an abstraction layer they're familiar
with: the EVM. Build and deploy as if you were working on Ethereum, be forward
compatible with the future of zero-knowledge.

It is a work in progress, and it is not ready for production.
