Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00057 | $0.01824 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00028 | $0.00912 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00365 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00182 |
Grade A, and why
web3-glossary 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 yesterday.
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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 193 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Web3 & DeFi Glossary
Quick-reference glossary for AI agents helping users navigate crypto terminology.
A
Account Abstraction (ERC-4337): Standard for smart contract wallets that enables features like gasless transactions, social recovery, and batched operations.
Airdrop: Free distribution of tokens to wallet addresses, usually to reward early users or build community.
AMM (Automated Market Maker): DEX model using liquidity pools and mathematical formulas instead of order books. Examples: Uniswap, Camelot.
APR (Annual Percentage Rate): Yearly return WITHOUT compounding.
APY (Annual Percentage Yield): Yearly return WITH compounding. Always higher than equivalent APR.
Arbitrage: Profiting from price differences between markets. Key for maintaining stablecoin pegs (e.g., USDs mint/redeem arbitrage).
Arbitrum: Ethereum Layer 2 using optimistic rollups. Largest L2 by TVL. Home of Sperax (USDs, SPA, Farms).
B
Block: A batch of transactions confirmed together. Ethereum: ~12 sec, Arbitrum: ~2 sec.
Bridge: Protocol for moving assets between blockchains. Examples: Stargate, Across, Hop.
Buyback-and-Burn: Protocol uses revenue to buy tokens on the market and permanently destroy them. Sperax uses 30% of USDs yield for SPA buyback-and-burn.
C
CDP (Collateralized Debt Position): Locking collateral to mint/borrow assets. Used by Maker (DAI) and Liquity (LUSD).
CEX (Centralized Exchange): Traditional crypto exchange (Coinbase, Binance). Custodial — they hold your keys.
Concentrated Liquidity: V3-style LP where you choose a price range. Higher capital efficiency but higher impermanent loss risk.
Composability: The ability to combine DeFi protocols like building blocks. "DeFi Legos."
D
DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization): Community-governed organization using smart contracts and token voting.
DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging): Investing fixed amounts at regular intervals to reduce timing risk.
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.

web3-glossary is a skill published in the GitHub repository nirholas/three.ws (110 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 1,824 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
