slv-pythnet

slv-pythnet is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ValidatorsDAO/slv. It costs 111 tokens per session (2,223 once invoked), scanned C, original, Apache-2.0.

An Ansible recipe for running a self-hosted Pythnet RPC node. Pythnet is a blockchain operated by Pyth data providers to combine price data, and an RPC node lets other software connect to it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set up the disk, system settings, Solana-based Pythnet software, and no-voting RPC service needed for a self-hosted Pyth price-feed stack.
Why use it?
It lets a local Hermes service read Pythnet directly instead of relying on public Pythnet endpoints.

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

slv-pythnet 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 3d 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.

Reaches for credential fileshighPrivilege escalation

SSH keys, cloud credentials, git-credentials, .npmrc, /etc/shadow: reading these is how a config file becomes a credential leak.

SLV Pythnet Skill

Ansible recipe + skill docs for running a self-hosted Pythnet RPC node — the application-specific Solana fork operated by Pyth's data providers.

What is Pythnet?

Pythnet is an application-specific blockchain operated by Pyth's data providers. This blockchain is a computation substrate to securely combine the data provider's prices into a single aggregate price for each Pyth price feed. Pythnet forms the core of Pyth's off-chain price feeds that serve all blockchains. — pyth-network/pythnet README

It's a Solana 1.14.17 fork. Running it as a no-voting RPC node lets you serve Pythnet HTTP+WS directly to a self-hosted Hermes (see slv-hermes), eliminating the dependency on public Pythnet endpoints (Triton, P2P, Blockdaemon, Figment).

Why self-host?

Pyth Network's documentation notes that running Pythnet RPC yourself is "discouraged due to the potential high cost and maintenance involved" — which is true relative to using a managed provider, but wildly overstated when compared to running a Solana mainnet RPC. Pythnet's traffic is tiny: only Pyth oracle operations, ~21 validators, no DeFi mints, no NFT spam. Ledger growth is ~10 GB/day. Catch-up from a fresh snapshot fetch finishes in 10-20 minutes (vs hours on mainnet).

If you already run Solana RPC infrastructure, Pythnet RPC is an order of magnitude smaller across every dimension.

Hardware target

Pythnet is light enough that mid-range commodity hardware suffices:

Resource Recommended Note
CPU 16-32 cores Solana validator binary is multi-threaded but Pythnet TPS is bounded by Pyth oracle ops only
RAM 128 GB (256 GB safety margin) AccountsDB + RocksDB block cache
Disk 2 TB NVMe (single) Mainnet needs 4-8 TB RAID0; Pythnet doesn't
Network 1 Gbps Mainnet needs 10 Gbps+; Pythnet doesn't
OS Ubuntu 22.04 / 24.04

A second NVMe is optional — the recipe can format and mount it as /mnt/ledger if you set pythnet_format_disk=true, otherwise it uses whatever directory you point pythnet_ledger_mount at.

1 file 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.

slv-pythnet is a skill published in the GitHub repository ValidatorsDAO/slv (89 stars, last pushed 12d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 111 tokens to every session and 2,223 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (reaches for credential files, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
