# Base Wallet Balance & Gas Affordability Checker

> Base Wallet Balance & Gas Affordability Checker is a paid API for AI agents from kr-x402-mvp.kgy5612.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.003/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-31).

Returns ETH and USDC balances, nonce, and gas affordability flags for a given Base wallet address.

## 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-wallet-balance-gas-affordability-checker-6c3197f1
```

Example prompt: Check if the Base wallet 0xe4be4d0bd82d8e68203deff81f79ede0529f2617 has enough ETH for gas and enough USDC to make x402 micropayments — show me the balances and the gas cost for an ERC20 transfer.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to quickly verify whether a specific Base wallet is funded and ready to act — especially before initiating transactions, paying x402 API fees, or executing onchain workflows. Prefer this over generic block explorer APIs when you need a single low-cost ($0.003 USDC) structured JSON response with both balance and gas affordability pre-computed, with no API key required.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid wallet address format (not 0x + 40 hex chars) — likely 400 error or validation rejection
- Wallet address not found on Base — returns zero balances
- x402 payment failure if calling agent wallet lacks USDC — 402 Payment Required before data is returned
- Network/RPC timeout fetching on-chain data — may return error or stale data
- Rate limiting or infrastructure issues on Cloudflare Worker

## 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

Returns a JSON object with: ETH balance, USDC balance, chain name ('base'), wallet nonce, boolean can_pay_gas (whether wallet has enough ETH for gas), boolean can_pay_x402 (whether wallet has enough USDC for x402 micropayments), and gas_cost_erc20_transfer_eth (estimated gas cost in ETH for an ERC20 transfer).
