How this service works
Check a caller-supplied Base gas price and gas limit against an ETH transaction budget with exact Wei arithmetic. Use immediately after get_base_gas or get_base_estimate_gas to fail closed before signing. Returns estimated fee, budget headroom, and an optional USD estimate for 0.001 USDC via x402 on Base; no live RPC or custody.
Output
Returns the estimated transaction fee in ETH (gas_price_gwei × gas_limit in exact Wei), remaining budget headroom in ETH, a pass/fail budget verdict, and an optional USD cost estimate if eth_usd is supplied. No live RPC calls or custody involved.
Example use cases
Preflight check before smart contract call
“I'm about to call a smart contract on Base with a gas limit of 300000 and a gas price of 2 gwei. My ETH budget is 0.01 ETH and ETH is at $3100. Will I have enough headroom, and what's the estimated cost in USD?”
Agent transaction safety gate
“Before my agent signs anything, validate that a gas limit of 150000 at 1.8 gwei fits within a 0.003 ETH budget — I want to know the estimated fee and how much headroom I have left.”
Gas cost USD estimate for reporting
“I need to know roughly what a Base transaction with 250000 gas at 2.5 gwei will cost in USD assuming ETH is $3400, and whether it fits inside a 0.008 ETH budget.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.delx.ai/api/v1/x402/base-gas-budget-checkWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint immediately after fetching live gas data from get_base_gas or get_base_estimate_gas as a fail-closed preflight before signing any Base transaction. Prefer it when you need exact Wei arithmetic validation without making a live RPC call, want an integrated USD cost estimate, or are running an autonomous agent that must gate on budget before committing on-chain actions.
Side effects
- gas_limit exceeds 30,000,000 maximum → validation error
- gas_price_gwei or budget_eth is negative or zero → rejected by schema
- eth_usd not supplied → USD estimate omitted from response
- Computed fee exceeds budget_eth → returns fail verdict with negative headroom
- Malformed JSON body → 400 bad request
