# Base Network Gas Price Oracle

> Base Network Gas Price Oracle is a paid API for AI agents from kr-x402-mvp.kgy5612.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-31).

Returns current Base L2 gas prices (slow/standard/fast tiers) with USD cost estimates, congestion level, and EIP-1559 fee fields for a given gas limit

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-network-gas-price-oracle-f098aea0
```

Example prompt: What are the current gas prices on Base right now — slow, standard, and fast tiers — with USD cost estimates for a standard ETH transfer (21000 gas)?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when your agent needs real-time Base L2 gas data without setting up an API key or RPC subscription — it pays per call via x402/USDC. Prefer it over raw RPC calls when you need pre-tiered slow/standard/fast estimates with USD costs already computed, EIP-1559 fields pre-formatted, and a congestion score in a single response. It is specifically useful for trading and onchain agents on Base that need to budget transaction costs or decide optimal timing.

## Known failure modes

- Base RPC node unavailable — upstream timeout or 5xx returned
- Invalid gas_limit value outside 21000–30000000 range — 400 validation error
- x402 payment not completed — 402 Payment Required returned before data is served
- Stale data if Base RPC is lagging — updated_at timestamp may be behind real-time
- Network congestion causing slow response from Base mainnet RPC

## 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 with the current Base block number, gas price in gwei and wei hex, EIP-1559 base fee, slow/standard/fast tier objects each containing max_fee_gwei, max_priority_fee_gwei, and est_cost_usd, a congestion score (0–1), the recommended tier string, tx_fields ready to use in an ethers.js/viem transaction, and an updated_at timestamp.
