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 chainray-chain-status-00cad016
```

Example prompt: What's the current status of the Base blockchain — is it up and running normally right now?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs to verify whether a specific blockchain network is operational before executing transactions, routing intents, or fetching on-chain data — especially useful as a pre-flight check before DeFi operations or cross-chain activity.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported chain identifier returns an error response
- Network lookup fails for chains outside the supported 46-chain list
- Payment of $0.005 USDC not provided results in 402 Payment Required
- Service unavailable if ChainRay backend is down

## How this service works

The most complete blockchain data and intelligence service for AI agents. 93 endpoints across 46 chains, from gas fees to DeFi analytics, with real-time streams, intent routing, and verifiable proofs. Pay-per-request via x402.

## Output

Returns the current operational status of the specified blockchain network, including whether the chain is active, any known issues, and relevant health indicators for that network.
