SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the manual work of checking Base blockchain activity by turning wallet, token, transaction, gas, and contract queries into a single guided workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Wallet and Portfolio Analysis: Inspect ETH balances, known ERC-20 holdings, token prices, and total portfolio value on Base.
  • Transaction and Contract Intelligence: Trace transaction outcomes, fees, token transfers, contract type detection, and proxy resolution.
  • Network and Market Monitoring: Review live Base network health, gas trends, whale transfers, and token pricing for common assets.
  • Use Case: Use this Skill when you need to understand what happened in a Base wallet, how much a transfer cost, whether a contract is an ERC token, or how the network is performing right now.

Quick Start

Ask the Base skill to inspect a wallet address, transaction hash, token contract, gas conditions, or network status and return a concise analysis.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check an ERC-20 token balance and portfolio value for a wallet on the Base network?

To check a Base wallet portfolio, the Skill retrieves ETH balances, known ERC-20 token holdings, and live CoinGecko prices to calculate the total portfolio value. It consolidates wallet analysis and price-aware reporting into a single guided workflow.

Can I trace a Base transaction hash to see token transfers and gas fees?

Yes, you can trace a Base transaction to see outcomes, fees, and token transfers. The Skill inspects transaction details and contract types, resolving proxy contracts and detecting ERC-20 interface implementations for comprehensive transaction intelligence.

What is the best way to monitor live Base network gas trends and whale activity?

Monitoring live Base network gas trends and whale activity involves retrieving current network stats and large token transfers. The Skill queries live network health, gas metrics, and whale movements directly via Base JSON-RPC access for real-time market monitoring.

Do I need a dedicated API key to inspect Base contract metadata and proxy implementations?

No dedicated API key is required to inspect Base contract metadata and proxy implementations. The Skill operates using standard Base JSON-RPC access for contract queries and CoinGecko for pricing lookups, running entirely with Python standard-library execution.

Why does my Base blockchain query fail when encountering rate limits?

Base blockchain queries may fail when encountering rate limits due to endpoint restrictions. The Skill addresses this by incorporating built-in retry mechanisms for rate limits during JSON-RPC access and CoinGecko pricing lookups to ensure reliable data retrieval.

Does the Base Skill support detecting proxy contracts and identifying ERC-20 token interfaces?

Yes, the Base Skill supports detecting proxy contracts and identifying ERC-20 token interfaces. It performs contract type detection and proxy resolution by querying the Base blockchain directly through JSON-RPC connections.
