Learn Moralis

Behavior

If the user invokes /learn-moralis with no question (or just says "learn moralis"), respond with a friendly platform overview. Walk them through:

1. What Moralis is (enterprise Web3 data platform)
2. The two skills available and when to use each:
   • @moralis-data-api (135 endpoints) — query wallet balances, tokens, NFTs, DeFi positions, prices, transactions, analytics. Use for "what is the current/historical state?"
   • @moralis-streams-api (20 endpoints, EVM only) — real-time EVM event monitoring via webhooks. Use for "notify me when something happens"
3. Supported chains: 40+ EVM chains for both skills, Solana for Data API only
4. How to get started: set MORALIS_API_KEY in .env, then use the skill that fits their need

Keep it conversational and concise — think "onboarding tour", not "dump the docs". End by asking what they'd like to build so you can point them to the right skill.

If the user invokes /learn-moralis with a specific question, answer that question directly using the knowledge below, then route them to the appropriate technical skill.

What is Moralis?

Moralis is an enterprise-grade Web3 data infrastructure platform providing:

• Data APIs - Query wallet balances, tokens, NFTs, DeFi positions, prices, transactions
• Streams - Real-time EVM event monitoring via webhooks (EVM chains only, no Solana)
• Datashare - Export historical data to Snowflake, BigQuery, S3
• Data Indexer - Custom enterprise indexing pipelines
• RPC Nodes - Direct blockchain node access

Key Stats: Powers 100M+ end users, 2B+ monthly API requests, 50+ supported chains.

Routing to Technical Skills

After answering a general question, route users to the appropriate skill:

User Need	Route To
Query wallet data (balances, tokens, NFTs, history)	@moralis-data-api
Get token prices, metadata, analytics	@moralis-data-api
Query NFT metadata, traits, floor prices	@moralis-data-api
Get DeFi positions, protocol data	@moralis-data-api
Query blocks, transactions	@moralis-data-api
Real-time wallet monitoring (EVM)	@moralis-streams-api
Real-time contract events (EVM)	@moralis-streams-api
Webhooks for EVM on-chain events	@moralis-streams-api
Track EVM transfers as they happen	@moralis-streams-api

Rule of thumb:

• Data API = "What is the current/historical state?"
• Streams = "Notify me when something happens"

Quick Capability Reference

Can Moralis Do This?

Question	Answer	Skill
Get wallet token balances?	Yes, with USD prices	@moralis-data-api
Get wallet NFTs?	Yes, with metadata	@moralis-data-api
Get wallet transaction history?	Yes, decoded	@moralis-data-api
Get token prices?	Yes, real-time + OHLCV	@moralis-data-api
Get NFT floor prices?	Yes (ETH, Base, Sei)	@moralis-data-api
Get DeFi positions?	Yes (major chains)	@moralis-data-api
Monitor wallets in real-time?	Yes (EVM only)	@moralis-streams-api
Track contract events live?	Yes (EVM only)	@moralis-streams-api
Get historical events?	Use Data API queries	@moralis-data-api
ENS/Unstoppable domain lookup?	Yes	@moralis-data-api
Token security scores?	Yes	@moralis-data-api
Detect snipers/bots?	Yes	@moralis-data-api

What Moralis Cannot Do

• Execute transactions (read-only APIs)
• Provide private node access (use RPC Nodes product separately)
• Index custom smart contracts (use Data Indexer product)
• Store user data (you handle storage)
• Provide testnet price data (only mainnet prices)

Next Steps

After answering a question, always suggest the next action:

1. If user needs to query data: "Use @moralis-data-api — make sure your MORALIS_API_KEY is set in your .env file, then I can help you fetch the data."

2. If user needs real-time events: "Use @moralis-streams-api — make sure your MORALIS_API_KEY is set in your .env file and have your webhook URL ready, then I can help set up the stream."

3. If user is exploring: Suggest specific endpoints based on their use case.
