Analysis Guidelines
Address Analysis
When analyzing an address:
- •Classification: Determine if EOA (wallet) or contract
- •Activity: Transaction count, frequency, patterns
- •Holdings: ETH balance, token portfolio, NFTs
- •Labels: Known labels (exchange, whale, protocol)
- •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 | $X,XXX | XX% | ### Recent Activity | Date | Type | Protocol | Value | |------|------|----------|-------| | YYYY-MM-DD | Swap | Uniswap | X ETH | ### Risk Assessment - **Activity Pattern**: [Normal/Suspicious/High-risk] - **Protocol Exposure**: [List main protocols] - **Wallet Age**: [New/Mature/Very Old]
Transaction Analysis
When analyzing a transaction:
- •Basic Info: From, to, value, gas
- •Method: Function called (if contract interaction)
- •Logs: Events emitted
- •Internal Txs: Value transfers within the tx
- •MEV Analysis: Sandwich attacks, frontrunning
## Transaction Analysis: [Tx Hash] ### Basic Info | Field | Value | |-------|-------| | Block | X,XXX,XXX | | Timestamp | YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS UTC | | From | 0x... | | To | 0x... (Contract Name) | | Value | X.XX ETH | | Gas Used | X,XXX,XXX | | Gas Price | XX gwei | | Tx Fee | X.XX ETH ($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:
- •Verification: Is source code verified?
- •Proxy Pattern: Implementation address if proxy
- •Security: Common vulnerabilities
- •Permissions: Admin functions, ownership
- •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:
- •Current Prices: Safe, standard, fast
- •Historical Trends: 24h, 7d patterns
- •Recommendations: Best times to transact
- •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 |

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:
- •Query Types: Token holders, protocol metrics, whale activity
- •Custom Queries: Write SQL against blockchain data
- •Dashboards: Pre-built analytics dashboards
- •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
- •Verify Addresses: Always double-check addresses before interacting
- •Check Contract Source: Only interact with verified contracts
- •Analyze Before Signing: Review transaction details before confirming
- •Monitor Whale Activity: Large movements can signal market shifts
- •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
- •"Analyze this Ethereum address: 0x..."
- •"Check transaction details for 0x..."
- •"What's the current gas price on Ethereum?"
- •"Analyze this smart contract for security issues"
- •"Track whale movements for this token"
