Onchain OS Security

5 commands for token risk analysis, DApp phishing detection, transaction pre-execution security, signature safety, and approval management.

Pre-flight Checks

Every time before running any onchainos command, always follow these steps in order. Do not echo routine command output to the user; only provide a brief status update when installing, updating, or handling a failure.

1. Resolve latest stable version: Fetch the latest stable release tag from the GitHub API:

   curl -sSL "https://api.github.com/repos/okx/onchainos-skills/releases/latest"
   

   Extract the tag_name field (e.g., v1.0.5) into LATEST_TAG. If the API call fails and onchainos is already installed locally, skip steps 2-3 and continue with step 4 (the user may be offline or rate-limited; a stale binary is better than blocking). If onchainos is not installed, stop and tell the user to check their network connection or install manually from https://github.com/okx/onchainos-skills.

2. Install or update: If onchainos is not found, or if the cache at ~/.onchainos/last_check ($env:USERPROFILE\.onchainos\last_check on Windows) is older than 12 hours:

   • Download the installer and its checksum file from the latest release tag:
     • macOS/Linux: curl -sSL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/okx/onchainos-skills/${LATEST_TAG}/install.sh" -o /tmp/onchainos-install.sh curl -sSL "https://github.com/okx/onchainos-skills/releases/download/${LATEST_TAG}/installer-checksums.txt" -o /tmp/installer-checksums.txt
     • Windows: Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/okx/onchainos-skills/${LATEST_TAG}/install.ps1" -OutFile "$env:TEMP\onchainos-install.ps1" Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://github.com/okx/onchainos-skills/releases/download/${LATEST_TAG}/installer-checksums.txt" -OutFile "$env:TEMP\installer-checksums.txt"
   • Verify the installer's SHA256 against installer-checksums.txt. On mismatch, stop and warn — the installer may have been tampered with.
   • Execute: sh /tmp/onchainos-install.sh (or & "$env:TEMP\onchainos-install.ps1" on Windows). The installer handles version comparison internally and only downloads the binary if needed.
   • On other failures, point to https://github.com/okx/onchainos-skills.

3. Verify binary integrity (once per session): Run onchainos --version to get the installed version (e.g., 1.0.5 or 2.0.0-beta.0). Construct the installed tag as v<version>. Download checksums.txt for the installed version's tag (not necessarily LATEST_TAG): curl -sSL "https://github.com/okx/onchainos-skills/releases/download/v<version>/checksums.txt" -o /tmp/onchainos-checksums.txt Look up the platform target and compare the installed binary's SHA256 against the checksum. On mismatch, reinstall (step 2) and re-verify. If still mismatched, stop and warn.

   • Platform targets — macOS: arm64->aarch64-apple-darwin, x86_64->x86_64-apple-darwin; Linux: x86_64->x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, aarch64->aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu, i686->i686-unknown-linux-gnu, armv7l->armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf; Windows: AMD64->x86_64-pc-windows-msvc, x86->i686-pc-windows-msvc, ARM64->aarch64-pc-windows-msvc
   • Hash command — macOS/Linux: shasum -a 256 ~/.local/bin/onchainos; Windows: (Get-FileHash "$env:USERPROFILE\.local\bin\onchainos.exe" -Algorithm SHA256).Hash.ToLower()

4. Version drift check — REQUIRED, run even if steps 1-3 were skipped.

   • Run onchainos --version → CLI version (e.g., 2.2.9)
   • Read version field from this file's YAML frontmatter (e.g., version: "2.0.0" at the top)
   • If CLI version > skill version → warn: "⚠️ Skill outdated (skill vX.Y.Z < CLI vA.B.C). Re-install skills to get the latest features and fixes."
   • Continue to the user's command.

5. Do NOT auto-reinstall on command failures. Report errors and suggest onchainos --version or manual reinstall from https://github.com/okx/onchainos-skills.

6. Rate limit errors. If a command hits rate limits, the shared API key may be throttled. Suggest creating a personal key at the OKX Developer Portal. If the user creates a .env file, remind them to add .env to .gitignore.

Fail-safe Principle (CRITICAL)

Scan completed — risk detected

If a security scan completes successfully and returns action: "block" or action: "warn", follow the Risk Action Priority Rule below. The Agent MUST NOT override risk verdicts.

Scan failed — infrastructure error

If a security scan fails to complete (network error, API timeout, rate limiting, malformed response), the Agent MUST:

• Report the error clearly to the user.
• Ask the user whether to retry the scan or proceed without scan results.
• If the user chooses to proceed, display a warning:

  "⚠️ Security scan could not be completed. Proceeding without verification — please ensure you trust this operation."

• Log the skipped scan for auditability.

A security scan that fails to complete is NOT a "pass". Always inform the user and let them make an explicit decision.

Risk Action Priority Rule

tx-scan / sig-scan (transaction & signature scanning)

block > warn > safe (empty). The top-level action field reflects the highest priority from riskItemDetail.

action value	Risk Level	Agent Behavior
(empty/null)	Low risk	Safe to proceed
warn	Medium risk	Show risk details, ask for explicit user confirmation
block	High risk	Do NOT proceed, show risk details, recommend cancel

• Risk scan result is still valid even if simulation fails (simulator.revertReason may contain the revert reason).
• If warnings field is populated, the scan completed but some data may be incomplete. Still present available risk information.
• An empty/null action in a successful API response means "no risk detected". But if the API call failed, the absence of action does NOT mean safe — apply the fail-safe principle.

token-scan (token risk label scanning)

Token-scan returns a riskLevel field (CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW) that represents the overall token risk, computed server-side from all boolean labels, tax thresholds, and additional signals (off-chain intelligence, ML models). The Agent uses this field directly and applies different actions for buy vs. sell operations.

riskLevel	Buy Action	Sell Action
CRITICAL	block — refuse to buy	warn — display risk, allow sell
HIGH	warn + pause — require explicit yes/no	warn — display risk, allow sell
MEDIUM	warn — info notice, continue	warn — info notice, continue
LOW	safe — proceed	safe — proceed

Full label catalog, tax threshold rules, and display format are defined in references/risk-token-detection.md. Always load that reference before executing token-scan.

Key principles:

• riskLevel is authoritative: The API returns the overall risk level server-side. The Agent reads riskLevel directly — no client-side computation from individual labels is needed.
• Buy is stricter than sell: CRITICAL blocks buy but only warns on sell (to allow stop-loss exit).
• HIGH buy requires explicit user confirmation (yes/no) — do not auto-continue.
• Individual label levels are not displayed to the user — only the overall riskLevel is shown, with triggered labels listed without level prefixes.
• If isChainSupported: false, skip detection with a warning; do not block.
• If API fails, warn but do not block. In swap context, token-scan failures auto-continue with a warning to avoid blocking time-sensitive trades — this overrides the general fail-safe's ask-user behavior.

Security commands do not require wallet login. They work with any address.

Chain Name Support

The CLI accepts human-readable chain names and resolves them automatically.

Chain	Name	chainIndex
XLayer	xlayer	196
Ethereum	ethereum or eth	1
Solana	solana or sol	501
BSC	bsc or bnb	56
Polygon	polygon or matic	137
Arbitrum	arbitrum or arb	42161
Base	base	8453
Avalanche	avalanche or avax	43114
Optimism	optimism or op	10
zkSync Era	zksync	324
Linea	linea	59144
Scroll	scroll	534352

Address format note: EVM addresses (0x...) work across Ethereum/BSC/Polygon/Arbitrum/Base etc. Solana addresses (Base58) and Bitcoin addresses (UTXO) have different formats. Do NOT mix formats across chain types.

Command Index

#	Command	Description
1	onchainos security token-scan	Token risk / honeypot detection (all chains)
2	onchainos security dapp-scan	DApp / URL phishing detection (chain-agnostic)
3	onchainos security tx-scan	Transaction pre-execution security (EVM + Solana)
4	onchainos security sig-scan	Message signature security (EVM only)
5	onchainos security approvals	Token approval / Permit2 authorization query (EVM only)

Reference Loading Rules (MANDATORY)

Before executing ANY security command, you MUST read the corresponding reference document from skills/okx-security/references/. Do NOT rely on prior knowledge — always load the reference first.

User intent	Read this file FIRST
Token safety, honeypot, is this token safe, 代币安全, 蜜罐检测, 貔貅盘	references/risk-token-detection.md
DApp/URL phishing, is this site safe, 钓鱼网站	references/risk-domain-detection.md
Transaction safety, tx pre-execution, signature safety, approve safety, 交易安全, 签名安全	references/risk-transaction-detection.md
Approvals, allowance, Permit2, revoke, 授权管理, 授权查询, 风险授权	references/risk-approval-monitoring.md

When a workflow involves multiple commands (e.g., token-scan then tx-scan), load each reference before executing that command.

Integration with Other Skills

Security scanning is often a prerequisite for other wallet operations:

• Before wallet send with a contract token: run token-scan to verify token safety
• Before wallet contract-call with approve calldata: run tx-scan to check spender
• Before interacting with any DApp URL: run dapp-scan
• Before signing any EIP-712 message: run sig-scan

Use okx-agentic-wallet skill for the subsequent send/contract-call operations.
