## 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-network-gas-price-latest-block-25eb6831
```

Example prompt: What's the current gas price on Base and what's the latest block number? I want to know if now is a good time to submit a transaction.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time Base network gas pricing and block data specifically, especially for pre-transaction fee estimation, gas optimization bots, or network congestion checks on the Base L2. Prefer this over general Ethereum gas trackers when targeting Base specifically.

## Known failure modes

- RPC node downtime causing inability to fetch latest block or gas price
- Network congestion causing stale or delayed data
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance or x402 protocol error) blocking the request
- Response may lag if Base mainnet is experiencing issues
