What is Anvil?

Anvil is a fast local Ethereum node built by Foundry for development and testing. It runs entirely in-memory and supports forking from any EVM-compatible chain. Developers can create smart contracts for any EVM-compatible blockchain and enjoy arguably the fastest benchmarked deployment and performance speeds. Key capabilities include local development with pre-funded accounts, mainnet forking at specific blocks, state management for reproducible testing, and custom RPC methods for account impersonation and time manipulation.
