| description | Points to Impersonator (EVM) and Impersonator Solana—open-source tools to connect to dApps via WalletConnect (and related flows) while presenting an arbitrary address for UI exploration without holding that address’s keys. Use when the user names impersonator.xyz, solana.impersonator.xyz, or the GitHub repos for local dev—not for phishing, identity fraud, or circumventing dApp or legal controls. |
Impersonator — read-only address presentation for dApp testing
Reference skill. This bundle does not ship Impersonator; use upstream docs for install, env vars, and exact scripts.
Stack (typical): TypeScript / Next.js-style apps—see each repo’s package.json and README for yarn, pnpm, or npm (lockfiles may differ by repo).
What it is for (legitimate)
- Developer / QA: See how a dApp renders balances, positions, or screens as if a given address were connected—without controlling that address.
- Upstream EVM README states users cannot transact in the obvious way because no private keys are used for the impersonated address (confirm current behavior in the app you run).
Local setup (follow upstream)
The EVM repo documents steps such as install dependencies and start a dev server—copy commands from the current README on your branch (examples in the wild include yarn install / yarn start / yarn build; your repo may prefer pnpm).
- Env: check
.env.sample / .example.env.local in the repo you clone—never commit secrets.
How to combine with blockint
| Task | Skill |
|---|
| Solana tracing / evidence from chain data | solana-tracing-specialist |
| EVM contract and DeFi review | evm-solidity-defi-triage-agent |
| Ethics and lawful investigation posture | crypto-investigation-compliance |
| Production wallet connect patterns (Solana stack pointers) | solana-onchain-intelligence-resources |
Guardrails (strict)
- No phishing or social engineering — do not use Impersonator to mislead people into believing you control another party’s wallet or to harvest credentials.
- No fraud or ToS abuse — obey dApp terms, WalletConnect / wallet policies, and applicable law; “read-only UI” does not make misuse acceptable.
- Not a KYC/AML bypass — this is not a technique to evade sanctions, identity, or compliance controls.
- Investigations: Viewing a public UI as address X may be fine for technical understanding; attribution and reporting still require evidence from chain data and lawful process—see on-chain-investigator-agent.
Goal: a discoverable, ethics-forward pointer to Impersonator (EVM) and Impersonator Solana for dApp testing contexts inside blockint.
