How this service works
Pay-per-call read API for Base over x402 v2. Deterministic data, no advice.
Output
A JSON object containing: the latest block number, chain name ('base'), chain ID (8453), block age in seconds, base fee in gwei, and gas price in gwei — all reflecting the current state of the Base L2 network.
Example use cases
Real-time gas price monitoring
“Check the current gas price and base fee on Base so I can decide if now is a good time to send a transaction.”
Latest block freshness check
“What is the latest block on Base and how many seconds ago was it mined? I want to make sure the network is healthy.”
Base chain ID confirmation
“Can you confirm the chain ID and current block number for Base mainnet? I need to verify I'm connecting to the right network.”

Endpoint
GEThttps://base-reads-api.rafliyaputra.deno.net/base/network?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need lightweight, pay-per-call, real-time Base network stats (block number, gas price, base fee) without setting up your own RPC connection. Ideal for agents that only occasionally need Base network data and want to avoid managing infrastructure. Less suitable for high-frequency polling or if you need full transaction/block details.
Side effects
- Payment failure: x402 payment not accepted, returns 402 Payment Required
- Network unavailability: Base RPC node unreachable, returns 5xx error
- Stale data: block age may briefly spike during network congestion
- Rate limiting: excessive calls may be throttled by the host
