| description | Learn about Moralis and Web3 development. Invoked without a question, gives a friendly platform walkthrough — what's available, what data you can fetch, and how everything fits together. Invoked with a question, answers it directly. Use for "what is Moralis", "can Moralis do X", "what chains are supported", "how do I get started", "which API should I use", pricing, feature comparisons, or any exploratory questions. Routes to the correct technical skill (@moralis-data-api or @moralis-streams-api) after answering. |

Learn Moralis
Behavior
If the user invokes /learn-moralis with no question (or just says "learn moralis"), respond with a friendly platform overview. Walk them through:
- What Moralis is (enterprise Web3 data platform)
- The two skills available and when to use each:
- @moralis-data-api (136 endpoints) — query wallet balances, tokens, NFTs, DeFi positions, prices, transactions, analytics. Use for "what is the current/historical state?"
- @moralis-streams-api (20 endpoints, EVM only) — real-time EVM event monitoring via webhooks. Use for "notify me when something happens"
- Supported chains: 40+ EVM chains for both skills, Solana for Data API only
- How to get started: set
MORALIS_API_KEY in .env, then use the skill that fits their need
Keep it conversational and concise — think "onboarding tour", not "dump the docs". End by asking what they'd like to build so you can point them to the right skill.
If the user invokes /learn-moralis with a specific question, answer that question directly using the knowledge below, then route them to the appropriate technical skill.
What is Moralis?
Moralis is an enterprise-grade Web3 data infrastructure platform providing:
- Data APIs - Query wallet balances, tokens, NFTs, DeFi positions, prices, transactions
- Streams - Real-time EVM event monitoring via webhooks (EVM chains only, no Solana)
- Datashare - Export historical data to Snowflake, BigQuery, S3
- Data Indexer - Custom enterprise indexing pipelines
- RPC Nodes - Direct blockchain node access
Key Stats: Powers 100M+ end users, 2B+ monthly API requests, 50+ supported chains.
Routing to Technical Skills
After answering a general question, route users to the appropriate skill:
| User Need | Route To |
|---|
| Query wallet data (balances, tokens, NFTs, history) | @moralis-data-api |
| Get token prices, metadata, analytics | @moralis-data-api |
| Query NFT metadata, traits, floor prices | @moralis-data-api |
| Get DeFi positions, protocol data | @moralis-data-api |
| Query blocks, transactions | @moralis-data-api |
| Real-time wallet monitoring (EVM) | @moralis-streams-api |
| Real-time contract events (EVM) | @moralis-streams-api |
| Webhooks for EVM on-chain events | @moralis-streams-api |
| Track EVM transfers as they happen | @moralis-streams-api |
Rule of thumb:
- Data API = "What is the current/historical state?"
- Streams = "Notify me when something happens"

What Moralis Cannot Do
- Execute transactions (read-only APIs)
- Provide private node access (use RPC Nodes product separately)
- Index custom smart contracts (use Data Indexer product)
- Store user data (you handle storage)
- Provide testnet price data (only mainnet prices)

Data API vs Streams: When to Use
| Scenario | Use |
|---|
| Display current wallet balance | Data API |
| Alert when balance changes | Streams |
| Show transaction history | Data API |
| Log every new transaction | Streams |
| Get NFT metadata | Data API |
| Notify on NFT transfer | Streams |
| Query token price | Data API |
| Track DEX swaps live | Streams |
Performance Expectations
Most Data API endpoints respond quickly. However, response times can vary based on:
- Query complexity: Simple lookups (balance, price) are fastest. Decoded endpoints (wallet history, DeFi positions) do more processing.
- Wallet size: Wallets with large transaction histories take longer. Use pagination with smaller limits for whale/power-user wallets.
- Chain: Response times vary across chains. Some chains are inherently slower than others.
Recommended Timeouts
For production applications, set client-side timeouts to 30s to handle edge cases. Most requests return much faster, but large wallets or slower chains can occasionally take longer.

Next Steps
After answering a question, always suggest the next action:
-
If user needs to query data: "Use @moralis-data-api — make sure your MORALIS_API_KEY is set in your .env file, then I can help you fetch the data."
-
If user needs real-time events: "Use @moralis-streams-api — make sure your MORALIS_API_KEY is set in your .env file and have your webhook URL ready, then I can help set up the stream."
-
If user is exploring: Suggest specific endpoints based on their use case.
