# Base Chain Transaction Simulator

> Base Chain Transaction Simulator 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 2026-10-31).

Simulates one or more Base chain transactions and returns safety verdict, gas estimates, token transfers, and balance changes before sending on-chain

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://kr-x402-mvp.kgy5612.workers.dev/v1/chain-simulation?utm_source=zero.xyz
- Price: $0.003/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-10-31
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/base-chain-transaction-simulator-0dc73aed
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_9KLa5rDzJqVpI72L2gM9x

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 base-chain-transaction-simulator-0dc73aed
```

Example prompt: Before I send this USDC transfer on Base, simulate it for me — from 0xe4be4d0bd82d8e68203deff81f79ede0529f2617 to contract 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913 with calldata 0x and 0.001 ETH value — tell me if it's safe, what the gas cost will be, and what token balances will change.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to pre-validate any Base chain transaction before actual submission — especially for DeFi interactions, unfamiliar contracts, or multi-step sequences where a revert would be costly. Prefer this over on-chain execution when safety verification is needed, gas estimation is uncertain, or the agent must confirm token flows before committing. It requires no API key (x402 micropayment via USDC on Base) making it suitable for autonomous agent pipelines.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid Ethereum address format returns 400 validation error
- Malformed calldata hex string returns schema validation error
- Simulated call reverts — returned with success:false and revert_reason populated
- Payment not included or insufficient USDC returns 402 Payment Required
- Network issues reaching Base RPC return 503 or timeout
- More than 5 calls in batch array returns 400 error
- Contract address not deployed on Base returns simulation failure

## 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 flag, safety verdict (e.g. SAFE_TO_SEND), per-call results including function signature decoded, gas used, and revert reason if any, total gas used and fee in ETH and USD, list of token transfers with sender/recipient/amount/symbol, balance changes by address and token, token approvals granted, current block number, and suggested next endpoints to call.
