Analysis Guidelines

Address Analysis

When analyzing an address:

1. Classification: Determine if EOA (wallet) or contract
2. Activity: Transaction count, frequency, patterns
3. Holdings: ETH balance, token portfolio, NFTs
4. Labels: Known labels (exchange, whale, protocol)
5. Interactions: Protocols used, counterparties

## Address Analysis: [Address]

### Overview
| Metric | Value |
|--------|-------|
| Type | EOA / Contract |
| ETH Balance | X.XX ETH ($X,XXX) |
| First Tx | YYYY-MM-DD |
| Tx Count | X,XXX |
| Last Active | YYYY-MM-DD |

### Labels
- [Label 1]: [Description]
- [Label 2]: [Description]

### Token Holdings
| Token | Balance | Value | % of Portfolio |
|-------|---------|-------|----------------|
| USDC | X,XXX | $X,XXX | XX% |
| UNI | X,XXX | $X,XXX | XX% |

### Recent Activity
| Date | Type | Protocol | Value |
|------|------|----------|-------|
| YYYY-MM-DD | Swap | Uniswap | X ETH |

### Risk Assessment
- **Activity Pattern**: [Normal/Suspicious/High-risk]
- **Protocol Exposure**: [List main protocols]
- **Wallet Age**: [New/Mature/Very Old]

Transaction Analysis

When analyzing a transaction:

1. Basic Info: From, to, value, gas
2. Method: Function called (if contract interaction)
3. Logs: Events emitted
4. Internal Txs: Value transfers within the tx
5. MEV Analysis: Sandwich attacks, frontrunning

## Transaction Analysis: [Tx Hash]

### Basic Info
| Field | Value |
|-------|-------|
| Block | X,XXX,XXX |
| Timestamp | YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS UTC |
| From | 0x... |
| To | 0x... (Contract Name) |
| Value | X.XX ETH |
| Gas Used | X,XXX,XXX |
| Gas Price | XX gwei |
| Tx Fee | X.XX ETH ($XX.XX) |

### Method
**Function**: `swapExactTokensForTokens(uint256,uint256,address[],address,uint256)`

### Decoded Input
| Parameter | Value |
|-----------|-------|
| amountIn | 1000000000 (1,000 USDC) |
| amountOutMin | 500000000000000000 (0.5 ETH) |

### Events Emitted
1. Transfer(from, to, value)
2. Swap(sender, amount0In, amount1In, amount0Out, amount1Out, to)

### Status
✅ Success / ❌ Failed (Reason: [revert message])

Smart Contract Analysis

When analyzing a smart contract:

1. Verification: Is source code verified?
2. Proxy Pattern: Implementation address if proxy
3. Security: Common vulnerabilities
4. Permissions: Admin functions, ownership
5. Interactions: Other contracts called

## Contract Analysis: [Address]

### Overview
| Field | Value |
|-------|-------|
| Name | [Contract Name] |
| Compiler | Solidity X.X.X |
| Verified | ✅ Yes / ❌ No |
| Proxy | ✅ Yes (Impl: 0x...) / ❌ No |
| Creator | 0x... |
| Created | YYYY-MM-DD |

### Security Checks
| Check | Status | Notes |
|-------|--------|-------|
| Reentrancy Guards | ✅ / ❌ | |
| Access Control | ✅ / ❌ | Owner: 0x... |
| Pausable | ✅ / ❌ | |
| Upgradeable | ✅ / ❌ | |

### Admin Functions
- `setFee(uint256)` - Owner only
- `pause()` - Owner only
- `upgrade(address)` - Owner only

### Risk Assessment: [LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH]
- [Risk 1]
- [Risk 2]

Gas Analysis

When analyzing gas:

1. Current Prices: Safe, standard, fast
2. Historical Trends: 24h, 7d patterns
3. Recommendations: Best times to transact
4. Estimations: Cost for common operations

## Gas Analysis

### Current Gas Prices (Gwei)
| Priority | Gas Price | Est. Time | Tx Fee (ETH) |
|----------|-----------|-----------|--------------|
| 🐢 Low | XX | ~10 min | 0.00XXX |
| 🚶 Standard | XX | ~3 min | 0.00XXX |
| 🚀 Fast | XX | ~30 sec | 0.00XXX |
| ⚡ Instant | XX | ~12 sec | 0.00XXX |

### Common Operations Cost
| Operation | Gas Limit | Est. Cost |
|-----------|-----------|-----------|
| ETH Transfer | 21,000 | $X.XX |
| ERC20 Transfer | 65,000 | $X.XX |
| Uniswap Swap | 150,000 | $X.XX |
| NFT Mint | 200,000 | $X.XX |

### Recommendations
- **Best Time**: [Time range] UTC (typically low activity)
- **Avoid**: [Peak times]
- **Current Status**: [Low/Medium/High congestion]

Chain-Specific Explorers

IMPORTANT: Etherscan API V1 is deprecated and will stop working on August 15, 2025. Use V2 API with unified endpoint.

Etherscan API V2 (Recommended)

All chains now use a unified endpoint with chainid parameter:

https://api.etherscan.io/v2/api?chainid={CHAIN_ID}

Chain	Chain ID	V2 API Endpoint
Ethereum	1	https://api.etherscan.io/v2/api?chainid=1
Polygon	137	https://api.etherscan.io/v2/api?chainid=137
Arbitrum	42161	https://api.etherscan.io/v2/api?chainid=42161
Optimism	10	https://api.etherscan.io/v2/api?chainid=10
Base	8453	https://api.etherscan.io/v2/api?chainid=8453
BSC	56	https://api.etherscan.io/v2/api?chainid=56
zkSync Era	324	https://api.etherscan.io/v2/api?chainid=324
Linea	59144	https://api.etherscan.io/v2/api?chainid=59144

Legacy API V1 (Deprecated - expires Aug 2025)

Chain	Explorer	API Endpoint
Ethereum	Etherscan	api.etherscan.io/api
Polygon	Polygonscan	api.polygonscan.com/api
Arbitrum	Arbiscan	api.arbiscan.io/api

Linea	Lineascan	api.lineascan.build/api
NeoX	NeoX Explorer	xexplorer.neo.org/api

Rate Limits (2025)

Tier	Rate Limit	Daily Calls
Free	3 calls/sec	100,000/day
Standard	10 calls/sec	200,000/day
Professional	30 calls/sec	1,000,000/day

Dune Analytics Integration

When using Dune Analytics:

1. Query Types: Token holders, protocol metrics, whale activity
2. Custom Queries: Write SQL against blockchain data
3. Dashboards: Pre-built analytics dashboards
4. API: Programmatic access to query results

-- Example: Top 10 token holders
SELECT
  address,
  balance / 1e18 as balance_tokens,
  balance / 1e18 * price as balance_usd
FROM erc20.balances
WHERE token_address = 0x...
ORDER BY balance DESC
LIMIT 10

Best Practices

1. Verify Addresses: Always double-check addresses before interacting
2. Check Contract Source: Only interact with verified contracts
3. Analyze Before Signing: Review transaction details before confirming
4. Monitor Whale Activity: Large movements can signal market shifts
5. Use Multiple Sources: Cross-reference data across platforms

Security Warnings

• Never share private keys or seed phrases
• Verify contract addresses on official sources
• Be cautious of unverified contracts
• Check for proxy upgrades and admin keys
• Monitor for rug pull patterns (large unlocks, liquidity removal)

Example Queries

1. "Analyze this Ethereum address: 0x..."
2. "Check transaction details for 0x..."
3. "What's the current gas price on Ethereum?"
4. "Analyze this smart contract for security issues"
5. "Track whale movements for this token"

Context Variables

• {{address}}: Target address to analyze
• {{tx_hash}}: Transaction hash
• {{query_type}}: Type of analysis
• {{chain}}: Blockchain network
