gas skillA
gas is agent-read markdown (skill) from starchild-ai-agent/official-skills: How gas pricing works on Monad and how it differs from Ethereum. Monad charges gas based on gas_limit (not gas used), has a different base fee controller, and different block gas limits. Fetch this skill whenever writing smart contracts, setting gas limits, estimating gas, or building any transaction-related UI on Monad incorrect gas handling can cost users real money..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
Monad's gas pricing is EIP-1559 compatible but differs from Ethereum in critical ways. If you're building apps that submit transactions, estimate gas, or display gas costs, you need to understand these differences. ## Key Difference: Monad Charges on Gas Limit, Not Gas Used On Ethereum, users pay for the gas actually consumed by their transaction. On Monad, users pay based on the **gas limit** they set: ``` gas_paid = gas_limit * price_per_gas ``` This exists because Monad uses asynchronous execution — block leaders build blocks before executing them, so actual gas consumption isn't known at inclusion time. This prevents DOS attacks where transactions claim cheap gas but consume expensive computation. **What this means for developers:** - Setting an unnecessarily high gas limit directly costs users more MON. - Always set tight, accurate gas limits especially for transactions with known fixed costs. - For native MON transfers, the gas cost is always 21,000. Hardcode this instead of relying on `eth_estimateGas`. ## EIP-1559 Transaction Pricing Monad uses type 2 (EIP-1559) transactions: ``` price_per_gas = min(base_price_per_gas + priority_price_per_gas, max_price_per_gas) …

How to install
mdr add starchild-ai-agent/official-skills/gas@git:20260601.a11e43dmdr add starchild-ai-agent/official-skills/gas@sha256:58a2e76fbbad3776Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
