ponder is a cursor rule for Cursor from blockmatic/basilic. It costs 0 tokens per session (104 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of standards for Ponder, a tool that indexes blockchain data so applications can query it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or maintaining services that collect blockchain events and prepare them for application use.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents consistent guidance for organising and building Ponder indexers.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ponder scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Core Principles

Use latest Ponder package (no @ponder/core), define clear indexing strategies

Ponder Configuration

Define networks/transports using http() from viem, specify contracts with start blocks

Schema Design

Define tables with onchainTable(), use meaningful primary keys, use index() for frequently queried columns

Performance

Cache frequently accessed data, batch database operations

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
