Ethereum History – OpenClaw Skill

---

name: Ethereum History description: Read-only factual data about historical Ethereum mainnet contracts. Use when the user asks about a specific contract address, early Ethereum contracts, deployment era, deployer, bytecode, decompiled code, or documented history (what a contract is and is not). Data is non-opinionated and includes runtime bytecode, decompiled code, and editorial history when available. Base URL https://ethereumhistory.com (or set BASE_URL for local/staging).

Ethereum History — Agent Skill

Ethereum History exposes read-only, factual data about historical Ethereum mainnet contracts. Use this skill when the user asks about:

• A specific contract address (what is it, when was it deployed, who deployed it, bytecode, decompiled code, documented history)
• Early Ethereum contracts, deployment era (Frontier, Homestead, DAO fork, etc.), or undocumented/notable contracts
• Contract facts: deployer, deployment block/timestamp, short description, historical summary, links, metadata

All endpoints are GET only. No authentication required. Responses are JSON with snake_case keys.

Base URL

• Production: https://ethereumhistory.com
• Manifest (full schema): GET {BASE_URL}/api/agent/manifest

Endpoints

1. Contract facts (one address)

GET {BASE_URL}/api/agent/contracts/{address}

Returns full factual data for one contract: address, era, deployer, deployment block/timestamp, runtime_bytecode, decompiled_code (when available), short_description, historical_summary, historical_significance, historical_context, token metadata, heuristics, links, metadata. Use when the user provides or asks about a specific contract address.

Example: GET https://ethereumhistory.com/api/agent/contracts/0xdbf03b407c01e7cd3cbea99509d93f8dddc8c6fb

2. Discovery (list contracts)

GET {BASE_URL}/api/agent/contracts

Query params (all optional):

• era_id — Filter by era (e.g. frontier, homestead, dao, tangerine, spurious)
• featured — true or 1 for featured contracts only
• undocumented_only — true or 1 for contracts with no short_description yet
• limit — Max 200, default 50
• offset — Pagination offset, default 0

Returns a list with minimal fields: address, era_id, deployer_address, deployment_timestamp, has_short_description, decompilation_success, etherscan_contract_name, token_name, token_symbol. Use for discovery; then fetch full facts via endpoint 1 if needed.

3. Temporal queries (by time range)

GET {BASE_URL}/api/agent/contracts?from_timestamp=...&to_timestamp=...

Query params:

• from_timestamp — ISO 8601 (e.g. 2015-07-30T00:00:00Z)
• to_timestamp — ISO 8601
• era_id, limit, offset — Same as discovery

Use when the user asks for contracts deployed in a date range or era.

Requests and responses

1. Contract facts — GET {BASE_URL}/api/agent/contracts/{address}

Request

• Path: address — Ethereum address (0x + 40 hex chars). Required.

Success (200)

Errors

2. Discovery / temporal — GET {BASE_URL}/api/agent/contracts

Request (query params, all optional)

Param	Type	Description
era_id	string	Era id: frontier, homestead, dao, tangerine, spurious
featured	string	true or 1 = featured only; false or 0 = no filter
undocumented_only	string	true or 1 = contracts with no short_description
from_timestamp	string	ISO 8601; deployment_timestamp >= this
to_timestamp	string	ISO 8601; deployment_timestamp <= this
limit	number	1–200, default 50
offset	number	Pagination offset, default 0

Success (200)

{
  "data": [
    {
      "address": "string",
      "era_id": "string | null",
      "deployer_address": "string | null",

    "timestamp": "string (ISO 8601)",
    "cached": false,
    "limit": number,
    "offset": number,
    "count": number
  }
}

When the database is not configured, response is still 200 with "data": [] and meta.message indicating discovery requires PostgreSQL.

3. Manifest — GET {BASE_URL}/api/agent/manifest

Request: None.

Success (200): JSON object with name, id, description, version, base_url, capabilities, endpoints, terms. See the live URL for full shape.

Usage notes

• Read-only. No opinions or editorial stance. Data as documented on EthereumHistory.com.
• Factual only. What something is and is not. No hype or persuasion.
• When history (short_description, etc.) is not yet documented, contract facts still include runtime_bytecode and decompiled_code when available.
• For the full machine-readable manifest (capabilities, endpoints, terms), call GET {BASE_URL}/api/agent/manifest.
