# Base Nonce Readiness Check

> Base Nonce Readiness Check is a paid API for AI agents from base-agent-preflight.bytoken2023.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.003/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Checks and assesses the transaction nonce readiness and risk level for a Base blockchain account address

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-nonce-readiness-check-331a3804
```

Example prompt: Before sending that transaction, run a nonce readiness check on my Base wallet 0x1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef12345678 and tell me if there are any risk flags or issues I should know about.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an autonomous agent or workflow needs to verify that a Base blockchain account's transaction nonce is in a safe, ready state before submitting a transaction — especially in multi-step agent pipelines where nonce conflicts could cause failed or stuck transactions. Prefer this over general blockchain explorers when you need a machine-readable risk assessment with flags and scores rather than raw block data.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or malformed address parameter returns validation error
- Non-Base address format (not matching ^0x[a-fA-F0-9]{40}$) returns 400 error
- Address with no on-chain history may return empty activity data
- Network congestion may delay nonce state resolution
- Payment not processed (402) blocks the response

## How this service works

Machine-payable service intelligence for discovering, verifying, and monitoring identity, risk, authorization, execution-preflight, and evidence APIs before autonomous agents spend.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the network identifier (eip155:8453), product name (base-nonce-readiness), and an assessment object containing a list of flags, a risk_level string (e.g. 'low'), and a numeric risk_score. Additional fields may include activity, identity, and provenance objects.
