x402
Base Network Info Summary is a paid API for AI agents from api.arysphere.com, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-17).
Returns a comprehensive snapshot of the Base blockchain network state including chain ID, block number, gas price, gas limits, and block metadata in a single call.

How this service works
ARYSPHERE sells AI-written verdicts on Base token contracts (a grade, a one-liner, a roast and the contract's facts) and Base/Ethereum chain reads, paid per call in USDC on Base over x402 v2. No account and no API key.
Output
Returns a JSON object with both hex-encoded RPC-style values and parsed numeric values including: chain_id (1 for Ethereum or Base chain), block_number, gas_price_wei, block_gas_used, block_gas_limit, block_timestamp, block_transactions count, and base_fee_per_gas_wei, plus the chain name and service identifier.
Example use cases
Gas fee check before DeFi transaction
“Before I submit this transaction on Base, what is the current gas price and base fee per gas so I can estimate costs?”
Block explorer summary for monitoring
“Give me a real-time snapshot of the Base blockchain right now — current block number, how many transactions are in it, the block gas used, and the timestamp.”
DApp health check dashboard
“Pull the latest Base network summary for my dashboard — I need chain ID, block number, gas price in wei, gas limit, and base fee per gas all at once.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.arysphere.com/v1/ventures/x402_chain_reads_v1/network_info_summary?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Prefer this endpoint when you need multiple Base network metrics (gas price, block number, gas limits, block timestamp, transaction count) in a single paid call rather than making separate RPC requests. It is ideal for dashboards, pre-transaction gas estimation, or any workflow that needs a holistic view of current Base chain state without assembling multiple individual reads.
Side effects
- Node unavailability: upstream RPC node unreachable, returns error or non-ok response
- Rate limiting: too many requests in short succession may result in 429 or payment-gated errors
- Stale data: if the upstream node is syncing, block_number may lag the true chain head
- Payment failure: x402 micropayment not processed correctly, endpoint returns 402 Payment Required
