## 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 coinlight-base-gas-price-fba52d3b
```

Example prompt: What's the current gas price on Base right now — give me the gwei price and tell me how much a plain ETH transfer and an ERC-20 transfer would cost?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time Base L2 gas fee data including both unit prices and practical transfer cost estimates in a single call, without needing to query an RPC node directly or do unit conversion yourself.

## Known failure modes

- Base RPC node unavailable — returns error or stale data
- Network congestion causing momentary data lag
- Rate limiting if called too frequently
- Response may be slightly stale during rapid block production

## How this service works

Coinlight charges USDC per API call with the x402 protocol on Solana and Base.

## Output

A JSON object containing the current Base network gas price in both wei and gwei, the latest block number, and estimated transaction costs for a plain ETH transfer and an ERC-20 token transfer.
