# Crypto Shark Bazaar – Chain Network Info

> Crypto Shark Bazaar – Chain Network Info is a paid API for AI agents from cryptoshark.duckdns.org, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-12).

Returns current blockchain network metadata including network name and observation timestamp for the Base chain

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-shark-bazaar-chain-network-info-8c52e433
```

Example prompt: What blockchain network is Crypto Shark Bazaar running on right now — can you pull the current network info and tell me the chain name and when it was last observed?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, low-cost ($0.001 USDC) programmatic check of which blockchain network an x402-enabled service is operating on, particularly for pre-flight validation before executing on-chain transactions on the Base network. It is not suitable for deep chain analytics or cross-chain comparisons.

## Known failure modes

- Service unavailable due to dynamic DNS (duckdns.org) resolution failure — returns connection error
- Payment not processed via x402 — returns 402 Payment Required with no data
- Invalid or malformed properties query parameter — may return empty or default response
- Stale observedAt timestamp if backend node is out of sync with chain

## How this service works

Low-cost x402 blockchain primitives, market intelligence, and AI utilities for autonomous agents

## Output

A JSON object containing the network name (e.g. 'base') and an ISO 8601 timestamp indicating when the network state was observed (e.g. '2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z').
