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 crypto-market-pulse-base-usdc-stats-time-market-snapshot-576d6fd3
```

Example prompt: What are the current prices for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and USDC right now, and what's the latest block height and gas price on Base mainnet?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a single low-cost pay-per-call snapshot combining crypto market prices and Base chain stats without API keys or subscriptions — ideal for agents that need occasional price checks or chain status rather than a high-frequency streaming feed. Prefer over subscription APIs when you want keyless, micropayment-based access settled in USDC on Base.

## Known failure modes

- HTTP 402 returned if x402 USDC payment on Base not provided or signature invalid
- stale market data if OKX feed is delayed
- Base RPC timeout causing missing chain fields
- malformed payment header results in payment rejection

## How this service works

Pay-per-call API for AI agents, settled in USDC on Base mainnet (eip155:8453) via the x402 protocol - no API keys, no signup, no subscription. Live crypto market data: BTC, ETH, SOL, USDC (USD Coin) prices with 24h change (source: OKX), Base mainnet chain snapshot (block height, gas price gwei), real-time USDC-on-Base transfer analytics (transfer count, volume, unique senders and recipients over recent blocks), and USDC/ETH wallet balances plus nonce for any address. Agent utility tools: deterministic JSON repair for LLM output (strip code fences, fix trailing commas, single quotes, unquoted keys, balance braces), DNS A/AAAA lookup, and URL extraction from arbitrary text. Every endpoint returns HTTP 402 with an x402 payment challenge in USDC on Base; pay with any wallet and retry with the PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header. MCP server at /mcp (streamable HTTP, 6 pay-per-call tools). Ideal for crypto portfolios, DeFi dashboards, market analysis agents, data pipelines, and LLM post-processing.

## Output

A JSON object containing: chain info (chainId, network name, block height, gas price in gwei), market prices and 24h percent change for bitcoin, ethereum, solana, and usd-coin (sourced from OKX), and a servedAt Unix timestamp.
