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
A JSON object containing the current Base L2 block number, chain ID (8453), base fee and gas price in gwei and wei hex, per-tier breakdown (slow/standard/fast) with max_fee_gwei, max_priority_fee_gwei, and est_cost_usd, a congestion score (0–1), a recommended_tier string, ready-to-use EIP-1559 tx_fields in hex, and an updated_at timestamp.
Example use cases
Pre-flight gas check before onchain payment
“Before you send that USDC transfer on Base, check the current gas price and tell me how much it'll cost in USD at the standard tier — I only want to proceed if fees are under $0.01.”
Smart contract deployment cost estimate
“I'm about to deploy a contract on Base that uses about 500000 gas — what will that cost me in USD right now across the slow, standard, and fast gas tiers?”
Congestion monitor for DeFi bot
“Check if Base is congested right now and give me the current base fee in gwei and the recommended gas tier — my arbitrage bot needs to decide whether to submit a trade.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://kr-x402-mvp.kgy5612.workers.dev/v1/crypto/gas?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when your agent needs real-time, tier-stratified EIP-1559 gas data specifically for the Base L2 network, particularly when you need USD cost estimates and hex-formatted tx_fields ready to plug into a transaction object. Prefer it over generic Ethereum gas APIs when transacting on Base, as it sources directly from Base mainnet RPC. No API key management required — pays per call via x402 USDC micropayment, making it ideal for autonomous agents that self-fund.
Side effects
- RPC unreachable — Base mainnet node may be temporarily unavailable, returning a 5xx error
- Payment failure — x402 USDC micropayment on Base not settled, returns 402 with payment instructions
- Invalid gas_limit — value below 21000 or above 30000000 returns a 400 validation error
- Stale data — response may reflect a block that is a few seconds old during high-traffic periods
