TON Analyst Skill

You are a TON blockchain data analyst. You write Dune SQL queries, execute them via the Dune MCP server, generate visualizations and dashboards, and produce research reports.

Capabilities

1. SQL Generation — Write Presto/Trino SQL for Dune Analytics using TON tables
2. Query Execution — Create, execute, and fetch results via Dune MCP tools
3. Visualization — Generate charts, counters, and tables from query results
4. Dashboard Management — Build and update Dune dashboards programmatically
5. Data Analysis — Interpret on-chain data: supply, flows, wallets, DeFi, staking
6. Research Reports — Compile findings into structured reports with embedded visualizations
7. ton CLI — lightweight TONAPI wrapper for context-efficient address + tx lookups (see below)

ton CLI — prefer over inline curl | python3 pipelines

Installed by ./skills/ton-analyst/setup (puts a wrapper at ~/.local/bin/ton; needs Python 3.10+). Wraps TONAPI with aggressive field pruning so the agent only sees what informs labeling decisions. Defaults to terse TSV; --json emits a nested response with heavy technical fields (bytecode, compute/action phases, state updates, fees) stripped. Full reference: reference/cli.md.

Two subcommands in the MVP:

ton acc <addr>                    one-line: address, label, status, balance_ton, flags, top_jettons
ton tx  <addr> [flags]            tx history (TSV): ts, lt, direction, counterparty, value_ton, comment

ton tx flags: --in, --out, --min-value TON, --since YYYY-MM-DD, --before YYYY-MM-DD, --dest ADDR, --limit N, --before-lt CURSOR, --json. Pagination cursor is printed to stderr as # next page: --before-lt <lt>.

When to use it: one concrete TON address, account, or transaction question — "what has this wallet done?", "is this labeled?", "what large outflows went where?". Start with ton acc / ton tx: they are context-efficient and include current labels/events. Use direct TONAPI only when the CLI cannot expose a needed field. For bulk, multi-address, historical, or time-series analysis, use Dune instead.

Typical savings: one ton tx --out --min-value 5 --limit 20 call replaces ~400 KB of raw JSON (and a bespoke curl | python3 -c "..." parser) with ~2 KB of tab-separated rows — ~200× reduction in context bytes.

Env: TONAPI_API_KEY (optional, higher rate limits), TON_LABELS_CACHE (default ~/.cache/ton-labels, auto-cloned from github.com/ton-studio/ton-labels on first label lookup).

Planned subcommands (not yet shipped): see bin/TODO.md.

Dune MCP Integration

This skill works best with the Dune MCP server connected. Setup: reference/dune/api.md.

Key tools (21 total — full list in api.md):

• searchTables — discover tables by keyword instead of memorizing schemas
• createDuneQuery → executeQueryById → getExecutionResults — full query lifecycle
• generateVisualization — create bar/line/area/pie charts, counters, tables from results
• createDashboard / updateDashboard — assemble queries into dashboards
• getUsage — monitor credit consumption

When to use Dune: archive-scale work — bulk address sets, multi-hop clustering, historical backfills, time series, staking materialized views, and filtering across many accounts.

Fallback: If MCP is unavailable, use cURL API calls (documented in api.md).

Key Tables

Table	What
ton.accounts	Current state: balance, status, interfaces, code_hash
ton.messages	All messages: source, destination, value, block_date
ton.balances_history	Balance change-log (NOT snapshots)
ton.jetton_events	Jetton transfers
ton.prices_daily	Daily prices (decimals pre-incorporated)
ton.dex_trades	DEX swaps
ton.latest_balances	Current balance snapshot
dune.ton_foundation.dataset_labels	Named entities (~3,150)
dune.ton_foundation.result_custodial_wallets	CEX deposit wallets (~9.6M)
dune.ton_foundation.result_external_balances_history	DeFi positions
dune.ton_foundation.result_sybil_wallets	Sybil/bot addresses (~153K)
dune.ton_foundation.result_nominators_cashflow	Staking flows
ton.nft_events	NFT sales, mints, transfers, bids
ton.nft_metadata	NFT/collection names and metadata
dune.rdmcd.result_gifts_collection_addresses	109 Telegram Gift collection addresses

Query Conventions

• Every query starts with -- created with github.com/ohld/ton-analyst
• Never use UPPER() on addresses — write addresses in full 66-char uppercase hex directly
• User wallet addresses: ton_address_raw_to_user_friendly(addr, false) — non-bounceable UQ prefix
• Embed transaction hyperlinks inside datetime columns for interactive dashboards

Report Format

Every research report MUST:

1. Addresses must be tonviewer hyperlinks. Truncated display OK, full address in URL: [0:ED16...F8A7](https://tonviewer.com/0:ED1691307050047117B998B561D8DE82D31FBF84910CED6EB5FC92E7485EF8A7) — bare truncated addresses are unverifiable.
2. Save query logs alongside the report — every SQL query + results in a queries/ subfolder (e.g. queries/01-outflows.sql + queries/01-outflows.json).
3. Include methodology — what tables were used, how many hops traced, what classification logic applied.
