Avalanche
Assist with Avalanche C-Chain transactions, AVAX transfers, subnets, and cross-chain bridges.
Best use case
Avalanche is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Assist with Avalanche C-Chain transactions, AVAX transfers, subnets, and cross-chain bridges.
Teams using Avalanche should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

## Network Architecture (Critical) - Avalanche has three chains: X-Chain, P-Chain, C-Chain — each serves different purpose - C-Chain is EVM compatible — where most DeFi and tokens live, uses AVAX for gas - X-Chain for fast transfers — native AVAX transfers, not EVM compatible - P-Chain for staking — validators and subnet management - Same AVAX token across all chains — but must transfer between chains to use ## C-Chain (Most Common) - EVM compatible — MetaMask, same tools as Ethereum - Uses AVAX for gas — need AVAX to transact - Chain ID: 43114 — RPC: https://api.avax.network/ext/bc/C/rpc - Block explorer: snowtrace.io — transaction verification - Most tokens and DeFi here — Trader Joe, Aave, GMX ## Cross-Chain Transfers - Moving AVAX between chains uses Avalanche Wallet — not regular transfers - C-Chain ↔ X-Chain transfer takes seconds — but requires correct process - Export from one chain, import to another — two-step process - Use official Core wallet or Avalanche Wallet — supports all three chains - MetaMask only sees C-Chain — can't transfer to X or P chains directly ## Bridging from Other Networks - Avalanche Bridge official — bridge.avax.network, from Ethereum - Bridged tokens are wrapped — ETH becomes WETH.e on Avalanche - LayerZero, Stargate for multi-chain — faster alternatives with fees - Bridge fees plus gas on both chains — budget for both - Withdrawal to Ethereum can take time — depends on bridge used ## Gas and Fees - Gas model same as Ethereum post-EIP-1559 — base fee + priority fee - Cheaper than Ethereum, more than some L2s — typically $0.01-0.10 per transaction - Gas paid in AVAX only — no token payments for gas - Fast finality (under 2 seconds) — no waiting for confirmations - Failed transactions cost gas — same as Ethereum ## Tokens and DeFi - AVAX is native gas token — also tradeable like ETH - WAVAX is wrapped AVAX — needed for some DeFi protocols - Major DEXs: Trader Joe, Pangolin — similar to Uniswap - Lending: Aave, Benqi — borrow and lend - Verify token addresses — scam tokens exist, check snowtrace.io ## Subnets - Subnets are custom blockchains on Avalanche — like app-specific chains - DFK Chain (DeFi Kingdoms), Dexalot — examples of subnets - Each subnet can have own token for gas — not always AVAX - Bridging to subnets through official bridges — subnet-specific - Subnets have independent validators — different security assumptions ## Staking - Minimum 25 AVAX to delegate — stake with validators - Minimum 2 weeks lock — staking period required - Rewards vary by validator — check uptime and commission - No slashing — underperforming validators just earn less - Liquid staking: sAVAX, ggAVAX — maintain liquidity while staking ## Wallet Options - Core Wallet (official) — supports all three chains, subnets - MetaMask for C-Chain only — familiar interface, limited to C-Chain - Ledger supported — via Core or MetaMask - Mobile wallets available — Core has mobile app ## Common Issues - "Insufficient funds" — need AVAX for gas on C-Chain - Tokens on wrong chain — bridged to X-Chain instead of C-Chain - Can't find tokens — wrong chain or need to add custom token - Slow bridge — some bridges take 10-30 minutes, be patient - Subnet tokens not showing — need to add subnet network to wallet ## Security - Standard EVM security on C-Chain — same best practices as Ethereum - Private key controls all three chains — one seed, all chains - Verify addresses on all chains — X-Chain addresses start with "X-" - Revoke unused approvals — snowtrace.io token approval checker - Official bridges safest — third-party bridges add risk

okx-wallet-portfolio
This skill should be used when the user asks to 'check my wallet balance', 'show my token holdings', 'how much OKB do I have', 'what tokens do I have', 'check my portfolio value', 'view my assets', 'how much is my portfolio worth', 'what\'s in my wallet', or mentions checking wallet balance, total assets, token holdings, portfolio value, remaining funds, DeFi positions, or multi-chain balance lookup. Supports XLayer, Solana, Ethereum, Base, BSC, Arbitrum, Polygon, and 20+ other chains. Do NOT use for general programming questions about balance variables or API documentation. Do NOT use when the user is asking how to build or integrate a balance feature into code.
okx-security
Use this skill for security scanning: check transaction safety, is this transaction safe, pre-execution check, security scan, token risk scanning, honeypot detection, DApp/URL phishing detection, message signature safety, malicious transaction detection, approval safety checks, token approval management. Triggers: 'is this token safe', 'check token security', 'honeypot check', 'scan this tx', 'scan this swap tx', 'tx risk check', 'is this URL a scam', 'check if this dapp is safe', 'phishing site check', 'is this signature safe', 'check this signing request', 'check my approvals', 'show risky approvals', 'revoke approval', 'check if this approve is safe', token authorization, ERC20 allowance, Permit2.

okx-onchain-gateway
This skill should be used when the user asks to 'broadcast transaction', 'send tx', 'estimate gas', 'simulate transaction', 'check tx status', 'track my transaction', 'get gas price', 'gas limit', 'broadcast signed tx', or mentions broadcasting transactions, sending transactions on-chain, gas estimation, transaction simulation, tracking broadcast orders, or checking transaction status. Covers gas price, gas limit estimation, transaction simulation, transaction broadcasting, and order tracking across XLayer, Solana, Ethereum, Base, BSC, Arbitrum, Polygon, and 20+ other chains. Do NOT use for swap quote or execution - use okx-dex-swap instead. Do NOT use for general programming questions about transaction handling.
okx-x402-payment
This skill should be used when the user encounters an HTTP 402 Payment Required response, wants to pay for a payment-gated API or resource, or mentions 'x402', 'pay for access', '402 payment', 'payment-gated URL', or 'sign x402 payment'. Primary path signs via TEE with a wallet session (JWT); fallback path guides local EIP-3009 signing with the user's own private key if they have no wallet. Returns the payment proof (signature + authorization) that the caller can attach as a payment header to access the resource. Do NOT use for swap or token transfers — use okx-dex-swap instead. Do NOT use for wallet balance or portfolio queries — use okx-agentic-wallet or okx-wallet-portfolio. Do NOT use for security scanning — use okx-security. Do NOT use for transaction broadcasting — use okx-onchain-gateway. Do NOT use for general programming questions.
