Example prompt: Buy me 1 USDC worth of Snek tokens on Base — use the BasedSnek puff endpoint and let me know how many tokens I received and the swap transaction hash.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a small, low-cost entry purchase of exactly 1 USDC worth of Snek tokens on Base chain via the x402 micropayment protocol. Prefer this over the 5 USDC sibling endpoint when you want minimal exposure or are testing the swap flow.

## Known failure modes

- Insufficient USDC balance for payment — payment rejected
- Swap slippage too high — transaction may fail or revert
- Network congestion on Base causing transaction delay or timeout
- Invalid or missing x402 payment header — 402 Payment Required response
- Snek token contract liquidity insufficient for swap — transaction failure
