ethereum-reference

ethereum-reference is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ObolNetwork/obol-stack. It costs 74 tokens per session (681 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A reference library for Ethereum, a blockchain platform, covering contracts, networks, bridges, fees, tokens, wallets, and decentralised finance. Agents read the topic guide relevant to a task instead of guessing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building or explaining Ethereum applications, checking contract addresses, moving assets between networks, or working with token standards and on-chain data.
Why use it?
It helps avoid incorrect Ethereum addresses, fee explanations, network details, and blockchain terminology.

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

ethereum-reference 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.

What it actually says

Ethereum reference

Ten topics, one folder each. Read the topic's GUIDE.md only when the task needs it. Paths inside a topic's GUIDE.md (references/…, scripts/…) are relative to that topic folder; ../<topic>/… points at a sibling topic.

Topic Read When
Contract addresses addresses/GUIDE.md Any contract address: the Stack's own rails (USDC, OBOL, Permit2, ERC-8004), stablecoins, DEXs, lending, bridges, L2-native protocols, Safe/AA/ENS, major tokens. Start with addresses/references/obol-payments.md.
Bridging bridging/GUIDE.md Moving assets between L1 and L2s: canonical bridges, CCIP/Across, deposits, withdrawals, claims, and when not to bridge.
L2s l2s/GUIDE.md Choosing or explaining an L2 (Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, zkSync, Scroll, Unichain, Celo, Robinhood Chain), how they settle, what runs where.
Gas gas/GUIDE.md Current gas prices, transaction costs, fee economics, mainnet vs L2 cost.
Standards standards/GUIDE.md ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, ERC-4337, ERC-8004 and newer standards: what they are and when each applies.
Building blocks building-blocks/GUIDE.md DeFi legos and composability: the major protocols per chain and how they fit together.
Indexing indexing/GUIDE.md Reading historical onchain data at scale: events, logs, The Graph, Ponder, indexing patterns.
Wallets wallets/GUIDE.md Wallet types: EOAs, EIP-7702 smart EOAs, Safe multisig, account abstraction, keeping keys out of git.
Concepts concepts/GUIDE.md Core mental models LLMs get wrong: contracts as state machines, incentive design, randomness, approvals, AMMs, lending, stablecoins, oracles.
Why Ethereum why/GUIDE.md Why build on Ethereum, and the AI-agent angle: ERC-8004, x402, composability, permissionless deployment.

Verify addresses on-chain before sending value: eth_getCode returns real bytecode and an eth_call (e.g. symbol()) returns what you expect. In the Obol Stack, the ethereum-networks skill's scripts/rpc.sh does both, and the inspect skill vets a contract before you sign.

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.
