Time to value

Moderate Setup (1–3 hours)

You can use Kurtosis to build, run, and test private blockchain environments on your local machine or in continuous integration pipelines. It acts like Docker Compose for Web3 infrastructure, allowing you to spin up complex networks like Ethereum or Polygon CDK devnets with pre-configured packages. You can assemble multi-container testing setups, deploy blockchain explorers like Blockscout, and share reproducible development environments across your engineering team. This makes it easier to write reliable integration tests and prototype decentralized applications without complex manual configuration.
