Delx Commerce — EVM Gas Cost Ceiling Calculator
x402
Delx Commerce — EVM Gas Cost Ceiling Calculator is a paid API for AI agents from commerce.delx.ai, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-01).
Computes the maximum possible gas cost (fee ceiling) for an EVM transaction given a gas limit and max fee per gas in wei

How this service works
Pay-per-result APIs for agents. No signup. Exact price. Verifiable delivery. USDC on Base + Solana via x402.
Output
Returns a JSON object with the computed fee_ceiling_wei (gas_limit × max_fee_per_gas_wei as a string), the echoed gas_limit, operation name, status ('pass'), and an evidence block confirming no data was retained (retained: false), the SHA-256 of the input, and that zero external calls were made.
Example use cases
Preflight check before ETH transfer
“Before I send an ETH transfer, what's the absolute worst-case gas cost if my gas limit is 21000 and the max fee per gas is 5000000000 wei?”
Smart contract call cost ceiling
“I'm about to call a smart contract that needs a gas limit of 200000 and I've set a max fee per gas of 30000000000 wei — what's the maximum I could possibly pay in gas fees?”
Agent budget guardrail for on-chain action
“Check if my gas budget is safe: I'm allowing up to 500000 gas and my max fee per gas is 10000000000 wei. What's the fee ceiling in wei so I can compare it to my budget?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://commerce.delx.ai/api/v1/x402/evm-gas-cost-ceiling?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a deterministic, verifiable, privacy-preserving upper-bound on EVM gas costs without retaining any data — ideal for AI agents doing preflight checks before submitting on-chain transactions, enforcing spending caps, or auditing gas budgets. Prefer this over on-chain estimation when you need a pure arithmetic ceiling with cryptographic evidence of non-retention.
Side effects
- Missing or invalid gas_limit (non-integer) returns an error
- Missing or malformed max_fee_per_gas_wei (non-numeric string) returns an error
- Payment not included or insufficient USDC triggers a 402 response requiring x402 payment
- Extremely large values may cause overflow or rejection
