# EVM Blockchain Skill

Query EVM-compatible blockchain data across 8 chains with USD pricing.
14 commands: wallet portfolio, token info, transactions, activity, gas tracker,
network stats, price lookup, multi-chain scan, whale detection, ENS resolution,
allowance checker, contract inspector, and transaction decoder.

Supports 8 chains: Ethereum, BNB Chain (BSC), Base, Arbitrum One, Polygon,
Optimism, Avalanche (C-Chain), zkSync Era.

No API key needed. Zero external dependencies — Python standard library only
(urllib, json, argparse, threading).

> **Supersedes the standalone `base` skill.** Base-specific tokens (AERO, DEGEN,
> TOSHI, BRETT, WELL, cbETH, cbBTC, wstETH, rETH) and all Base RPC functionality
> previously living under `optional-skills/blockchain/base/` have been folded
> into this skill. Pass `--chain base` to any command for Base coverage.

## When to Use
- User asks for a wallet balance or portfolio on any EVM chain
- User wants to check the same wallet across ALL chains at once
- User wants to inspect a transaction by hash (or decode what it did)
- User wants ERC-20 token metadata, price, supply, or market cap
- User wants recent transaction history for an address
- User wants current gas prices or to compare fees across chains
- User wants to find large whale transfers in recent blocks
- User asks to resolve an ENS name (vitalik.eth) or reverse-lookup an address
- User wants to check if a contract has dangerous token approvals
- User wants to inspect a smart contract (proxy? ERC-20? ERC-721? bytecode size?)
- User wants to compare gas costs across chains before a transaction

---

## Prerequisites
Python 3.8+ standard library only. No pip installs required.
Pricing: CoinGecko free API (rate-limited, ~10-30 req/min).
ENS: ensideas.com public API.
Tx decoding: 4byte.directory public API.

Override RPC endpoint: `export EVM_RPC_URL=https://your-rpc.com`

Helper script path: `~/.hermes/skills/blockchain/evm/scripts/evm_client.py`
