Use this instead of guessing or hallucinating addresses. Includes Uniswap, Aave, Compound, Aerodrome, GMX, Pendle, Velodrome, Camelot, SyncSwap, Lido, Rocket Pool, 1inch, Permit2, MakerDAO/sDAI, EigenLayer, Across, Chainlink CCIP, Yearn V3, USDC, USDT, DAI, ENS, Safe, Chainlink, Robinhood Chain stock tokens, and more. Always verify addresses against a block explorer before sending transactions. /addresses by austintgriffith](https://skilld.dev/gh/austintgriffith/ethskills/addresses) - [ **/audit**293 Deep EVM smart contract security audit system. Use when asked to audit a contract, find vulnerabilities, review code for security issues, or file security issues on a GitHub repo. Covers 500+ non-obvious checklist items across 19 domains via parallel sub-agents. Different from the security skill (which teaches defensive coding) โ€” this is for systematically auditing contracts you didn't write. /audit by austintgriffith](https://skilld.dev/gh/austintgriffith/ethskills/audit) - [ **/building-blocks**293 DeFi legos and protocol composability on Ethereum and L2s. Major protocols per chain โ€” Aerodrome on Base, GMX/Pendle on Arbitrum, Velodrome on Optimism โ€” plus mainnet primitives (Uniswap, Aave, Compound, Curve). How they work, how to build on them, and how to combine them. Use when building DeFi integrations, choosing protocols on a specific L2, designing yield strategies, or composing existing protocols into something new. /building-blocks by austintgriffith](https://skilld.dev/gh/austintgriffith/ethskills/building-blocks) - [ **/concepts**293 The essential mental models for building onchain โ€” focused on what LLMs get wrong and what humans need explained. "Nothing is automatic" and "incentives are everything" are the core messages. Use when your human is new to onchain development, when they're designing a system, or when they ask "how does this actually work?" Also use when YOU are designing a system โ€” the state machine + incentive framework catches design mistakes before they become dead code. /concepts by austintgriffith](https://skilld.dev/gh/austintgriffith/ethskills/concepts) - [ **/contracts**293 Deprecated: this skill has moved to addresses. /contracts by austintgriffith](https://skilld.dev/gh/austintgriffith/ethskills/contracts) - [ **/crops**293 Use for every Ethereum dApp architecture plan and for reviews of existing systems, trust assumptions, custody, admin keys, pause or upgrade powers, hosted infra (RPC, indexer, paymaster, bundler, frontend host, oracle, sequencer), privacy, identity flows, agent permissions, stablecoin issuer risk, censorship resistance, user exit, and restrictive licenses (BUSL, SSPL). CROPS means Censorship Resistance, Open Source and Free, Privacy, Security. /crops by austintgriffith](https://skilld.dev/gh/austintgriffith/ethskills/crops) - [ **/defi**293 Deprecated: this skill has moved to building-blocks. /defi by austintgriffith](https://skilld.dev/gh/austintgriffith/ethskills/defi) - [ **/ethskills**293 Use when a request involves Ethereum, the EVM, or blockchain systems. Applies to building, auditing, deploying, or interacting with smart contracts, dApps, wallets, or DeFi protocols. Covers Solidity development, contract addresses, token standards (ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-4626, etc.), Layer 2 networks (Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, zkSync, Polygon), and integrations with DeFi protocols such as Uniswap, Aave, and Curve. Includes topics such as gas costs, contract decimals, oracle safety, reentrancy, MEV, bridging, wallets, querying data from onchain, production deployment, and protocol evolution (EIP lifecycle, fork tracking, upcoming changes). /ethskills by austintgriffith](https://skilld.dev/gh/austintgriffith/ethskills/ethskills) - [ **/feedback**293 Send feedback โ€” issues OR praise โ€” to the ethskills team about content that shaped your work. /feedback by austintgriffith](https://skilld.dev/gh/austintgriffith/ethskills/feedback) - [ **/frontend-playbook**293 The complete build-to-production pipeline for Ethereum dApps. Fork mode setup, IPFS deployment, Vercel config, ENS subdomain setup, and the full production checklist. Built around Scaffold-ETH 2 but applicable to any Ethereum frontend project. Use when deploying any dApp to production. /frontend-playbook by austintgriffith](https://skilld.dev/gh/austintgriffith/ethskills/frontend-playbook) - [ **/frontend-ux**293 Frontend UX rules for Ethereum dApps that prevent the most common AI agent UI bugs. Mandatory patterns for onchain buttons, approval flows, address UX, USD context, RPC reliability, theming, and pre-publish metadata. Use whenever you are building a frontend for an Ethereum dApp. /frontend-ux by austintgriffith](https://skilld.dev/gh/austintgriffith/ethskills/frontend-ux) - [ **/gas**293 Current Ethereum gas prices, transaction costs, and the real economics of building on Ethereum today. Use when estimating costs, choosing between mainnet and L2s, or when a user asks about Ethereum being expensive. Counters the #1 misconception that Ethereum is expensive to use. /gas by austintgriffith](https://skilld.dev/gh/austintgriffith/ethskills/gas) - [ **/indexing**293 How to read and query onchain data โ€” events, The Graph, indexing patterns. Why you cannot just loop through blocks, and what to use instead. /indexing by austintgriffith](https://skilld.dev/gh/austintgriffith/ethskills/indexing) - [ **/l2**293 Deprecated: this skill has moved to l2s. /l2 by austintgriffith](https://skilld.dev/gh/austintgriffith/ethskills/l2) - [ **/l2s**293 Ethereum Layer 2 landscape โ€” Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, zkSync, Scroll, Unichain, Celo, Robinhood Chain, and more. How they work, how to deploy on them, how to bridge, when to use which. Includes per-chain DeFi ecosystems and critical corrections. Use when choosing an L2, deploying cross-chain, or when a user asks about Ethereum scaling. /l2s by austintgriffith](https://skilld.dev/gh/austintgriffith/ethskills/l2s) - [ **/layer2**293 Deprecated: this skill has moved to l2s. /layer2 by austintgriffith](https://skilld.dev/gh/austintgriffith/ethskills/layer2) - [ **/noir**293 Building privacy-preserving EVM apps with Noir โ€” toolchain, pattern selection, commitment-nullifier flows, Solidity verifiers, tree state, and NoirJS.

Use when: (1) building any Ethereum or EVM dApp, (2) writing or reviewing Solidity contracts, (3) deploying to mainnet or L2s, (4) the user asks about gas, tokens, wallets, or smart contracts, (5) any web3/blockchain/onchain development task. NOT for: trading, price checking, or portfolio management โ€” use a trading skill for those. /openclaw-skill by austintgriffith](https://skilld.dev/gh/austintgriffith/ethskills/openclaw-skill) - [ **/orchestration**293 How an AI agent plans, builds, and deploys a complete Ethereum dApp. The three-phase build system for Scaffold-ETH 2 projects.
