Solana Blockchain Skill
Query Solana on-chain data enriched with USD pricing via CoinGecko.
8 commands: wallet portfolio, token info, transactions, activity, NFTs,
whale detection, network stats, and price lookup.
No API key needed. Uses only Python standard library (urllib, json, argparse).
When to Use
- User asks for a Solana wallet balance, token holdings, or portfolio value
- User wants to inspect a specific transaction by signature
- User wants SPL token metadata, price, supply, or top holders
- User wants recent transaction history for an address
- User wants NFTs owned by a wallet
- User wants to find large SOL transfers (whale detection)
- User wants Solana network health, TPS, epoch, or SOL price
- User asks "what's the price of BONK/JUP/SOL?"
Prerequisites
The helper script uses only Python standard library (urllib, json, argparse).
No external packages required.
Pricing data comes from CoinGecko's free API (no key needed, rate-limited
to ~10-30 requests/minute). For faster lookups, use --no-prices flag.
Quick Reference
RPC endpoint (default): https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com
Override: export SOLANA_RPC_URL=https://your-private-rpc.com
Helper script path: ~/.hermes/skills/blockchain/solana/scripts/solana_client.py
python3 solana_client.py wallet <address> [--limit N] [--all] [--no-prices]
python3 solana_client.py tx <signature>
python3 solana_client.py token <mint_address>
python3 solana_client.py activity <address> [--limit N]
python3 solana_client.py nft <address>
python3 solana_client.py whales [--min-sol N]
python3 solana_client.py stats
python3 solana_client.py price <mint_or_symbol>
Procedure
0. Setup Check
python3 --version
export SOLANA_RPC_URL="https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com"
python3 ~/.hermes/skills/blockchain/solana/scripts/solana_client.py stats
1. Wallet Portfolio
Get SOL balance, SPL token holdings with USD values, NFT count, and
portfolio total. Tokens sorted by value, dust filtered, known tokens
labeled by name (BONK, JUP, USDC, etc.).
python3 ~/.hermes/skills/blockchain/solana/scripts/solana_client.py \
wallet 9WzDXwBbmkg8ZTbNMqUxvQRAyrZzDsGYdLVL9zYtAWWM
Flags:
--limit N — show top N tokens (default: 20)--all — show all tokens, no dust filter, no limit--no-prices — skip CoinGecko price lookups (faster, RPC-only)
Output includes: SOL balance + USD value, token list with prices sorted
by value, dust count, NFT summary, total portfolio value in USD.
2. Transaction Details
Inspect a full transaction by its base58 signature. Shows balance changes
in both SOL and USD.
python3 ~/.hermes/skills/blockchain/solana/scripts/solana_client.py \
tx 5j7s8K...your_signature_here
Output: slot, timestamp, fee, status, balance changes (SOL + USD),
program invocations.
3. Token Info
Get SPL token metadata, current price, market cap, supply, decimals,
mint/freeze authorities, and top 5 holders.
python3 ~/.hermes/skills/blockchain/solana/scripts/solana_client.py \
token DezXAZ8z7PnrnRJjz3wXBoRgixCa6xjnB7YaB1pPB263
Output: name, symbol, decimals, supply, price, market cap, top 5
holders with percentages.
4. Recent Activity
List recent transactions for an address (default: last 10, max: 25).
python3 ~/.hermes/skills/blockchain/solana/scripts/solana_client.py \
activity 9WzDXwBbmkg8ZTbNMqUxvQRAyrZzDsGYdLVL9zYtAWWM --limit 25
5. NFT Portfolio
List NFTs owned by a wallet (heuristic: SPL tokens with amount=1, decimals=0).
python3 ~/.hermes/skills/blockchain/solana/scripts/solana_client.py \
nft 9WzDXwBbmkg8ZTbNMqUxvQRAyrZzDsGYdLVL9zYtAWWM
Note: Compressed NFTs (cNFTs) are not detected by this heuristic.
6. Whale Detector
Scan the most recent block for large SOL transfers with USD values.
python3 ~/.hermes/skills/blockchain/solana/scripts/solana_client.py \
whales --min-sol 500
Note: scans the latest block only — point-in-time snapshot, not historical.
7. Network Stats
Live Solana network health: current slot, epoch, TPS, supply, validator
version, SOL price, and market cap.
python3 ~/.hermes/skills/blockchain/solana/scripts/solana_client.py stats
8. Price Lookup
Quick price check for any token by mint address or known symbol.
python3 ~/.hermes/skills/blockchain/solana/scripts/solana_client.py price BONK
python3 ~/.hermes/skills/blockchain/solana/scripts/solana_client.py price JUP
python3 ~/.hermes/skills/blockchain/solana/scripts/solana_client.py price SOL
python3 ~/.hermes/skills/blockchain/solana/scripts/solana_client.py price DezXAZ8z7PnrnRJjz3wXBoRgixCa6xjnB7YaB1pPB263
Known symbols: SOL, USDC, USDT, BONK, JUP, WETH, JTO, mSOL, stSOL,
PYTH, HNT, RNDR, WEN, W, TNSR, DRIFT, bSOL, JLP, WIF, MEW, BOME, PENGU.
Pitfalls
- CoinGecko rate-limits — free tier allows ~10-30 requests/minute.
Price lookups use 1 request per token. Wallets with many tokens may
not get prices for all of them. Use
--no-prices for speed.
- Public RPC rate-limits — Solana mainnet public RPC limits requests.
For production use, set SOLANA_RPC_URL to a private endpoint
(Helius, QuickNode, Triton).
- NFT detection is heuristic — amount=1 + decimals=0. Compressed
NFTs (cNFTs) and Token-2022 NFTs won't appear.
- Whale detector scans latest block only — not historical. Results
vary by the moment you query.
- Transaction history — public RPC keeps ~2 days. Older transactions
may not be available.
- Token names — ~25 well-known tokens are labeled by name. Others
show abbreviated mint addresses. Use the
token command for full info.
- Retry on 429 — both RPC and CoinGecko calls retry up to 2 times
with exponential backoff on rate-limit errors.
