ethereum-networks

ethereum-networks is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ObolNetwork/obol-stack. It costs 56 tokens per session (3,182 once invoked), scanned C, original, Apache-2.0.

A read-only gateway for querying Ethereum and compatible networks through standard RPC methods. RPC is the interface applications use to ask a blockchain for data such as balances, blocks, and transaction results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to read blocks, balances, gas prices, token information, transaction receipts, and smart-contract state.
Why use it?
It gives you one route for checking blockchain data across installed networks without signing or sending transactions.

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 C, and why

ethereum-networks scanned grade C with 2 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/rpc.py, scripts/rpc.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 265 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Ethereum Networks

Query Ethereum blockchain data through the local eRPC gateway. Supports any JSON-RPC method, multiple networks, and ERC-20 token lookups.

When to Use

  • Block numbers, balances, gas prices, chain IDs
  • Transaction lookups and receipts
  • Smart contract reads (eth_call)
  • Token balance and info queries
  • Any eth_*, net_*, or web3_* method

When NOT to Use

  • Sending transactions, signing, or deploying contracts — use ethereum-local-wallet
  • Validator monitoring — use distributed-validators
  • Kubernetes pod diagnostics — use obol-stack

RPC Gateway

The eRPC gateway routes to whichever Ethereum networks are installed:

http://erpc.erpc.svc.cluster.local/rpc/{network}

mainnet is always available. Other networks (e.g. hoodi, arbitrum, robinhood) are available if installed. You can also use evm/{chainId} (e.g. evm/560048 for Hoodi, evm/42161 for Arbitrum One, evm/4663 for Robinhood Chain).

arbitrum and robinhood require the stack operator to have registered an eRPC upstream under that alias (obol network add — ChainList has both). If /rpc/arbitrum or /rpc/robinhood returns 404, the upstream isn't registered — ask the operator.

To see which networks are connected:

curl -s http://erpc.erpc.svc.cluster.local/ | python3 -m json.tool

Write Transactions: Protected Routing & Revert Protection

When a signed tx is broadcast (via ethereum-local-wallet's send-tx, or directly via eth_sendRawTransaction), eRPC pins the call to Obol's protected upstream — obol-rpc-mainnet for chain 1, obol-rpc-base for chain 8453. Read methods still fan out across all configured upstreams; only writes are pinned.

Two consequences worth knowing:

  1. No front-running on the way to the mempool. Writes don't hit a public transaction pool first, so searchers cannot reorder them around your trade.
  2. Revert protection is on. The protected upstream refuses to include transactions that would revert at the head block. This saves callers from wasting gas on a guaranteed failure, but it also means a "transaction that vanished" may simply have been rejected upstream as known-to-revert.

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

ethereum-networks is a skill published in the GitHub repository ObolNetwork/obol-stack (11 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 56 tokens to every session and 3,182 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
