How this service works
Base mainnet network info in one call: chain ID, block height, and current gas price (wei and gwei).
Output
A JSON object with four fields: chain_id (integer, Base mainnet chain ID = 8453), block_number (integer, current block height), gas_price_wei (integer, current gas price in wei), and gas_price_gwei (float, current gas price in gwei). All values reflect the live state of the Base mainnet at the time of the call.
Example use cases
Pre-flight check before submitting transaction
“Before I send this transaction on Base, can you check the current gas price in gwei and the latest block number so I know what to expect?”
Gas fee monitoring for cost optimization
“What's the gas price on Base mainnet right now in gwei? I want to decide if it's cheap enough to send my batch of transactions.”
Verify Base chain ID for wallet config
“I'm configuring a new wallet for Base — can you confirm the chain ID, current block height, and gas price so I can make sure everything looks right?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://x402.agentindex.world/base/network-info?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, single-call snapshot of Base mainnet state — chain ID, block height, and gas price — without setting up your own RPC node or paying for a dedicated provider subscription. Ideal for agents that need to make gas estimates, verify network identity, or decide whether conditions are right to submit a transaction, at a low per-call cost of $0.001 USDC.
Side effects
- RPC node unavailable — upstream Base node may be unreachable, returning a 5xx error
- Stale data — if the underlying node is syncing, block_number may lag behind tip
- Payment failure — x402 payment of $0.001 USDC not processed correctly, returns 402
- Rate limiting — too many requests in a short window may result in 429 or payment rejection
