routemesh-rpc

What This Skill Does

The routemesh-rpc skill acts as an interface between the OpenClaw agent and the RouteMesh infrastructure. It simplifies the interaction with various EVM-compatible blockchain networks by providing a standard, consistent way to dispatch JSON-RPC 2.0 requests. By utilizing the lb.routeme.sh unified endpoint, the skill abstracts away the complexities of manual HTTP handling, JSON payload formatting, and endpoint management. It enables the agent to query on-chain data, inspect block states, and execute read-only contract operations across any supported EVM chain using a dedicated Python helper script.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/kermankohli/routemesh-crypto-rpc

Ensure that you have your RouteMesh API key available. It is highly recommended to export this as an environment variable to prevent hardcoding sensitive credentials in scripts or prompts: export ROUTEMESH_API_KEY="rm_...your_key..."

Use Cases

This skill is designed for scenarios requiring real-time interaction with blockchain data. Use it when you need to:

• Verify the current block height or synchronization status of specific chains.
• Perform eth_call operations to inspect contract storage or simulated return values without gas expenditure.
• Debug or troubleshoot specific RPC endpoints to ensure routing is functioning correctly.
• Retrieve account balances, transaction receipt metadata, or event logs from smart contracts.
• Demonstrate routing capabilities across multi-chain environments for development and testing purposes.

Example Prompts

1. "Check the current block height for Base mainnet using the routemesh-rpc skill."
2. "Use routemesh-rpc to call the totalSupply method of the USDC token on Polygon. Use the standard eth_call method."
3. "Is the Arbitrum network responsive? Please run a check using the routemesh-rpc skill to fetch the latest block number."

Tips & Limitations

• Security: Never expose your ROUTEMESH_API_KEY in plain text logs, shared chat history, or version control systems. Always rely on environment variable injections.
• Data Handling: The skill expects params as a valid JSON string. If your call fails, double-check your JSON syntax, especially regarding quotes and nested objects.
• Rate Limiting: Be aware that RouteMesh enforces rate limits based on your API key tier. Excessive polling may lead to temporary throttling.
• Standardization: Always prefer the routemesh_rpc.py helper script over direct curl commands. This ensures that the agent handles JSON serialization and potential error output in a consistent format compatible with OpenClaw's internal processing pipelines.
