GoldRush x402 — pay-per-request blockchain data access using the x402 protocol (HTTP 402 Payment Required). Use this skill whenever the user is building an AI agent that needs blockchain data without API keys, wants wallet-based micropayments for on-chain data, needs autonomous or no-account access to the GoldRush API, mentions the x402 protocol, or wants no-signup/no-onboarding blockchain data access. This is the right skill for autonomous agents, serverless applications, and prototyping without onboarding. Provides access to 60+ Foundational API endpoints through a transparent reverse proxy with stablecoin payments on Base. If the user needs a traditional API key with monthly billing, use goldrush-foundational-api instead. If the user needs real-time streaming data via WebSocket, use goldrush-streaming-api instead.

Provide instructions on how to build with Arc, Circle's blockchain where USDC is the native gas token. Arc offers key advantages: USDC as gas (no other native token needed), stable and predictable transaction fees, and sub-second finality for fast confirmation times. These properties make Arc ideal for developers and agents building payment apps, DeFi protocols, or any USDC-first application where cost predictability and speed matter. Use skill when Arc or Arc Testnet is mentioned, working with any smart contracts related to Arc, configuring Arc in blockchain projects, bridging USDC to Arc via CCTP, or building USDC-first applications. Triggers: Arc, Arc Testnet, USDC gas, deploy to Arc, Arc chain, stable fees, fast finality.
