Duo Data Utilities – Solidity Keccak-256 Selector & Topic Derivation
x402
Duo Data Utilities – Solidity Keccak-256 Selector & Topic Derivation is a paid API for AI agents from api.duoleads.com, paid per call via x402, $0.05/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-02).
Computes the Keccak-256 hash of a Solidity function, event, or error signature to derive the 4-byte function selector and 32-byte event topic, with automatic signature normalisation; also hashes arbitrary text or hex bytes.

How this service works
Compute the Keccak-256 hash of a Solidity function or event signature and derive the 4-byte function selector and the 32-byte event topic. Normalises the signature first — strips parameter names, expands uint to uint256 and the other aliases, flattens tuples — so a signature copied from source code produces the same selector as the canonical form. Also hashes arbitrary text or hex bytes with Keccak-256.
Output
Returns a JSON object with the canonical Solidity signature, list of parsed input types, 4-byte selector (for functions/errors) or null, 32-byte topic0 (for events) or null, full 32-byte Keccak-256 hash, and a list of any normalisations applied (e.g. uint→uint256 expansions). Metadata includes request ID, computed timestamp, price, and a determinism flag.
Example use cases
ERC-20 transfer selector lookup
“Can you give me the 4-byte ABI selector for the ERC-20 transfer function 'transfer(address to, uint amount)' — I need the canonical form and the hex selector so I can encode a calldata payload.”
Smart contract event topic derivation
“I need the topic0 for the Solidity event 'Transfer(address indexed from, address indexed to, uint256 value)' so I can filter Ethereum logs — can you compute it as an event kind?”
Arbitrary text Keccak-256 hashing
“Please Keccak-256 hash the UTF-8 string 'Hello, World!' for me — I just need the raw hash output.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.duoleads.com/v1/chain/selector?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to compute Solidity ABI selectors, event topics, or Keccak-256 hashes of signatures in a single deterministic call with automatic normalisation (uint→uint256, tuple flattening, parameter name stripping). It is particularly valuable when working with raw or human-readable Solidity signatures copied from source code that may not yet be in canonical form. Prefer this over rolling your own keccak library when you need the canonical signature and normalisation audit trail alongside the hash.
Side effects
- Missing both 'signature' and 'data' query parameters returns a validation error
- Malformed or unparseable Solidity signature returns a parse error
- Invalid hex encoding when encoding=hex causes a bad-request error
- Unsupported 'kind' enum value returns a validation error
- Signature exceeding 1024 characters is rejected
- Network or upstream timeout returns a 5xx error
