At a glance

Choose and configure JSON-RPC transports in Nethereum. An agent skill from Nethereum/Nethereum.

  • The user asks about HTTP vs WebSocket
  • SKILL.md covers Transport Options, HTTP (Default), SystemTextJson HTTP (AOT) and WebSocket Streaming, plus 3 more sections
  • Reaches mainnet.infura.io and eth.drpc.org
  • IPC connections

What it does

Rpc Transport is an agent skill from Nethereum/Nethereum. Choose and configure JSON-RPC transports in Nethereum. Use when the user asks about HTTP vs WebSocket, IPC connections, SystemTextJson AOT transport, or transport selection.

Its SKILL.md is about 830 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Realtime and WebSockets. The repository describes itself as: Ethereum .Net cross platform integration library. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks about HTTP vs WebSocket
  • IPC connections
  • SystemTextJson AOT transport
  • Transport selection

Example prompts

  • “/rpc-transport”

Requirements

  • A credential in YOUR_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 229f278. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are csharp).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • mainnet.infura.io
    • eth.drpc.org

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Rpc Transport loads about 833 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 134 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~47
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~833

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

HTTP (Default)

csharp
var web3 = new Web3("https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/YOUR_KEY");

SystemTextJson HTTP (AOT)

Two clients in Nethereum.JsonRpc.SystemTextJsonRpcClient:

  • SimpleRpcClient — zero-config, built-in source-generated JSON context
  • RpcClient — full-featured (custom HttpClient, logging, auth headers)

Note: Both this package and the default Newtonsoft package have a class named RpcClient. The using directive determines which one: using Nethereum.JsonRpc.SystemTextJsonRpcClient; for STJ, using Nethereum.JsonRpc.Client; for Newtonsoft.

csharp
using Nethereum.JsonRpc.SystemTextJsonRpcClient;
var client = new SimpleRpcClient("https://eth.drpc.org");
var web3 = new Web3(client);

var balance = await web3.Eth.GetBalance
    .SendRequestAsync("0x742d35Cc6634C0532925a3b844Bc454e4438f44e");

var block = await web3.Eth.Blocks.GetBlockWithTransactionsByNumber
    .SendRequestAsync(BlockParameter.CreateLatest());

// ERC20 typed service works with SystemTextJson too
var tokenBalance = await web3.Eth.ERC20
    .GetContractService("0x9f8f72aa9304c8b593d555f12ef6589cc3a579a2")
    .BalanceOfQueryAsync("0x8ee7d9235e01e6b42345120b5d270bdb763624c7");
Console.WriteLine(Web3.Convert.FromWei(tokenBalance, 18));

WebSocket Streaming

csharp
using Nethereum.JsonRpc.WebSocketStreamingClient;
var client = new StreamingWebSocketClient("wss://...");
await client.StartAsync();

WebSocket for Normal RPC Calls

Use a WebSocket connection for standard (non-subscription) RPC calls:

csharp
using Nethereum.RPC.Reactive.Eth;

var ethGetBalance = new EthGetBalanceObservableHandler(client);
ethGetBalance.GetResponseAsObservable()
    .Subscribe(balance => Console.WriteLine($"Balance: {balance.Value}"));
await ethGetBalance.SendRequestAsync("0x742d35cc6634c0532925a3b844bc454e4438f44e",
    BlockParameter.CreateLatest());

var ethBlockNumber = new EthBlockNumberObservableHandler(client);
ethBlockNumber.GetResponseAsObservable()
    .Subscribe(block => Console.WriteLine($"Block: {block.Value}"));
await ethBlockNumber.SendRequestAsync();

IPC

csharp
using Nethereum.JsonRpc.IpcClient;
var client = new IpcClient("/home/user/.ethereum/geth.ipc"); // Linux
var client = new IpcClient(@"\\.\pipe\geth.ipc"); // Windows
var web3 = new Web3(client);

Decision Guide

  • HTTP: Default choice, works everywhere, hosted providers
  • SystemTextJson: Required for Native AOT / trimming
  • WebSocket: Need eth_subscribe (blocks, pending txs, logs)
  • IPC: Running own node, maximum throughput
