Use when deploying contracts, setting up frontends with viem/wagmi, or verifying contracts on Monad testnet or mainnet. license: MIT compatibility: Requires foundry, node 18+, curl, and internet access for faucet and verification APIs metadata: author: monad-skills version: "1.0.0"

Quick Reference
Defaults
- Network: Always use testnet (chain ID 10143) unless user says "mainnet"
- Verification: Always verify contracts after deployment unless user says not to
- Framework: Use Foundry (not Hardhat)
- Wallet: If you generate a wallet, MUST persist it (see Wallet Persistence section)

Agent APIs
IMPORTANT: Do NOT use a browser. Use these APIs directly with curl.
Faucet (Testnet Funding):
curl -X POST https://agents.devnads.com/v1/faucet \-H "Content-Type: application/json" \-d '{"chainId": 10143, "address": "0xYOUR_ADDRESS"}'
Returns: {"txHash": "0x...", "amount": "1000000000000000000", "chain": "Monad Testnet"}
Fallback (official faucet): https://faucet.monad.xyz If the agent faucet fails, ask the user to fund via the official faucet (do not use a browser yourself).
Verification (All Explorers):
ALWAYS use the verification API first. It verifies on all 3 explorers (MonadVision, Socialscan, Monadscan) with one call. Do NOT use forge verify-contract as first choice.
# 1. Get verification dataforge verify-contract <ADDR> <CONTRACT> \--chain 10143 \--show-standard-json-input > /tmp/standard-input.jsoncat out/<Contract>.sol/<Contract>.json | jq '.metadata' > /tmp/metadata.jsonCOMPILER_VERSION=$(jq -r '.metadata | fromjson | .compiler.version' out/<Contract>.sol/<Contract>.json)# 2.

With constructor arguments: Add constructorArgs (ABI-encoded, WITHOUT 0x prefix):
ARGS=$(cast abi-encode "constructor(string,string,uint256)" "MyToken" "MTK" 1000000000000000000000000)ARGS_NO_PREFIX=${ARGS#0x}# Add to request: "constructorArgs": "$ARGS_NO_PREFIX"
Manual verification fallback (if API fails):
forge verify-contract <ADDR> <CONTRACT> --chain 10143 \--verifier sourcify \--verifier-url "https://sourcify-api-monad.blockvision.org/"
Wallet Persistence
CRITICAL for agents: If you generate a wallet for the user, you MUST persist it for future use.
When generating a new wallet:
- Create wallet:
cast wallet new - Immediately save the address and private key to a secure location
- Inform the user where the wallet details are stored
- Fund the wallet via faucet before deployment
Storage options:
- Write to
~/.monad-walletwith chmod 600 - Store in a project-specific
.envfile (add to .gitignore) - Return credentials to user and ask them to save securely
Why this matters: Users need access to their wallet to:
- Deploy additional contracts
- Interact with deployed contracts
- Manage funds
- Verify ownership
Deployment Workflow
Use forge script for deployments:
forge script script/Deploy.s.sol:DeployScript \--rpc-url https://testnet-rpc.monad.xyz \--private-key $PRIVATE_KEY \--broadcast
Deploy script template:
// SPDX-License-Identifier: MITpragma solidity ^0.8.27;import "forge-std/Script.sol";import "../src/MyContract.sol";contract DeployScript is Script {function run() external {vm.startBroadcast();MyContract contract = new MyContract();console.log("Contract deployed at:", address(contract));vm.stopBroadcast();}}
Technical Details
EVM Version (Critical)
Always set evmVersion: "prague". Requires Solidity 0.8.27+.
Foundry (foundry.toml):
[profile.default]evm_version = "prague"solc_version = "0.8.28"
Foundry Tips
Flags that don't exist (don't use):
--no-commit- not a valid flag forforge initorforge install
Deployment - use `forge script`, NOT `forge create`:
forge create --broadcast is buggy and often ignored. Use forge script instead.
forge script script/Deploy.s.sol:DeployScript \--rpc-url https://testnet-rpc.monad.xyz \--private-key $PRIVATE_KEY \--broadcast
Deploy script must NOT hardcode addresses:
// ✅ Correct - reads private key from --private-key flagfunction run() external {vm.startBroadcast();new MyContract();vm.stopBroadcast();}// ❌ Wrong - hardcodes address, causes "No associated wallet" errorfunction run() external {vm.startBroadcast(0x1234...);}
Frontend
Import from viem/chains. Do NOT define custom chain:
import { monadTestnet } from "viem/chains";
Use with wagmi:
import { createConfig, http } from 'wagmi'import { monadTestnet } from 'viem/chains'const config = createConfig({chains: [monadTestnet],transports: {[monadTestnet.id]: http()}})
Example: Deploy ERC20
1. Create project:
forge init my-tokencd my-token
2. Configure `foundry.toml`:
[profile.default]src = "src"out = "out"libs = ["lib"]evm_version = "prague"solc_version = "0.8.28"
3. Create contract `src/MyToken.sol`:
// SPDX-License-Identifier: MITpragma solidity ^0.8.27;import "@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC20/ERC20.sol";contract MyToken is ERC20 {constructor(uint256 initialSupply) ERC20("MyToken", "MTK") {_mint(msg.sender, initialSupply);}}
4. Install dependencies:
forge install OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts --no-commit
5. Create deploy script `script/Deploy.s.sol`:
// SPDX-License-Identifier: MITpragma solidity ^0.8.27;import "forge-std/Script.sol";import "../src/MyToken.sol";contract DeployScript is Script {function run() external {vm.startBroadcast();MyToken token = new MyToken(1000000 * 10**18);console.log("Token deployed at:", address(token));vm.stopBroadcast();}}
6. Deploy:
forge script script/Deploy.s.sol:DeployScript \--rpc-url https://testnet-rpc.monad.xyz \--private-key $PRIVATE_KEY \--broadcast
7. Verify:
# Use verification API (verifies on all explorers)STANDARD_INPUT=$(forge verify-contract <TOKEN_ADDRESS> src/MyToken.sol:MyToken --chain 10143 --show-standard-json-input)COMPILER_VERSION=$(jq -r '.metadata | fromjson | .compiler.version' out/MyToken.sol/MyToken.json)curl -X POST https://agents.devnads.com/v1/verify \-H "Content-Type: application/json" \-d "{\"chainId\": 10143,\"contractAddress\": \"<TOKEN_ADDRESS>\",\"contractName\": \"src/MyToken.sol:MyToken\",\"compilerVersion\": \"v${COMPILER_VERSION}\",\"standardJsonInput\": $STANDARD_INPUT,\"constructorArgs\": \"$(cast abi-encode 'constructor(uint256)' 1000000000000000000000000 | sed 's/0x//')\"}"
