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

Solana Blockchain Basics 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 11d 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.

Solana Blockchain Basics

This skill helps explain Solana blockchain concepts in simple, non-technical language. Use when users ask questions about how Solana works, what accounts are, how transactions function, or other foundational blockchain concepts.

Key Concepts to Explain

Solana Network

Solana is a fast, low-cost blockchain network. Think of it like a global ledger (accounting book) that anyone can read or write to, managed by thousands of computers instead of one company.

Key points:

  • Fast: Processes thousands of transactions per second
  • Cheap: Transactions cost fractions of a penny
  • Open: Anyone can use it without permission
  • Secure: Uses cryptography to prevent fraud

Accounts

Everything on Solana is an "account" - like a bank account. Each account has:

  • Address: A unique identifier (like an account number)
  • Balance: How much SOL or tokens it holds
  • Owner: Who controls this account
  • Data: Information stored in the account

Types of accounts:

  • User wallets: Hold SOL and tokens
  • Token accounts: Store specific tokens (like USDC)
  • Program accounts: Store smart contract data

SOL (The Native Token)

SOL is Solana's native currency. Like dollars on the US dollar network, SOL is used to:

  • Pay transaction fees (tiny amounts)
  • Pay for storing data on the blockchain
  • Vote on network decisions
  • Stake to earn rewards

Units:

  • 1 SOL = 1 billion lamports (smallest unit)
  • Most people just use SOL

Tokens (SPL Tokens)

SPL tokens are like custom currencies on Solana. Examples:

  • USDC: Stablecoin worth ~$1
  • BONK: Community meme token
  • Various others created by different projects

How they work:

  • Each token has an owner/creator
  • Each user can hold token accounts for different tokens
  • Tokens can be traded, transferred, or burned

Transactions

A transaction is a request to change something on the blockchain. Examples:

  • Send 1 SOL to someone
  • Swap tokens on a DEX (decentralized exchange)
  • Mint an NFT
  • Use a smart contract
