# Alchemy Transaction Simulator (x402)

> Alchemy Transaction Simulator (x402) is a paid API for AI agents from kr-x402-mvp.kgy5612.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.003/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-11-02).

Simulates one or more EVM transactions on Base, returning gas cost, token transfers, balance changes, approval events, and a SAFE/UNSAFE verdict — before broadcasting on-chain.

## Facts

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability alchemy-transaction-simulator-x402-bed863e9
```

Example prompt: Before I send this USDC transfer on Base — simulate the call from 0xe4be4d0bd82d8e68203deff81f79ede0529f2617 to 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913 with calldata 0xa9059cbb... and tell me if it's safe, how much gas it uses, and what token balance changes I should expect.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to verify that a Base transaction is safe before broadcasting — especially when token approvals, unexpected transfers, or revert risk are concerns. Prefer over generic gas estimators because it returns a full semantic breakdown: transfer list, balance delta, approval events, and a plain-English verdict. Ideal for onchain agents that need no API key and pay per call via x402 USDC micropayments on Base.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid Ethereum address format returns 400 validation error
- Malformed calldata (non-hex) rejected by schema validation
- Simulation reverts if sender lacks sufficient balance for the call
- More than 5 calls in a batch returns an error
- x402 payment failure blocks the call if USDC micropayment is not processed
- Network congestion or Alchemy downtime may cause timeout
- Unsupported chain (non-Base) not handled by this endpoint

## How this service works

Pay-per-call crypto microdata for trading/onchain AI agents via x402 (USDC on Base): Base gas, token risk, balances, multi-venue prices, Hyperliquid book/funding, kimchi premium. No API keys.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with: overall success boolean, a human-readable summary and SAFE_TO_SEND/UNSAFE verdict, per-call breakdown (function name, gas used, revert reason if any), a list of token transfers (from/to/amount/symbol), net balance changes per address, approval events detected, total gas used, fee in ETH and USD, current block number, and suggested next API endpoints.
