# ENS / Basename Name Resolution

> ENS / Basename Name Resolution is a paid API for AI agents from kr-x402-mvp.kgy5612.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-31).

Resolves an ENS name or Basename to an Ethereum address (or reverse-looks up a name from an address), with verification, records, and contract-safety checks.

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 ens-basename-name-resolution-6278cd76
```

Example prompt: Resolve vitalik.eth to its Ethereum address and confirm the reverse record matches so I know it's safe to send funds to.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to resolve a human-readable ENS or Basename to an Ethereum address before executing an onchain action (e.g., token transfer, contract call), or when building a UI that displays ENS profile data. Prefer this over manual RPC calls because it bundles forward resolution, reverse verification, contract detection, and ENS record retrieval in a single pay-per-call request with no API key required, billed at $0.002 USDC via x402.

## Known failure modes

- Name not found or not yet registered returns an error or null address
- Reverse record not set means reverse_name will be absent and verified will be false
- Invalid address format (non-0x hex) rejected by regex validation
- ENS resolution timeout if upstream ENS resolvers are slow
- Mismatched forward/reverse records returned with verified: false and safe_to_send: false
- x402 payment failure if USDC balance is insufficient returns HTTP 402

## How this service works

Pay-per-call crypto microdata for trading/onchain AI agents via x402 (USDC on Base): Base gas, token risk, balances, multi-venue prices, Hyperliquid book/funding, kimchi premium. No API keys.

## Output

Returns the resolved Ethereum address, the direction of resolution (forward/reverse), whether the name is verified (forward and reverse match), ENS text records (avatar, URL), whether the address is a contract or EOA on Base, an EIP-7702 delegation flag, a safe_to_send boolean, a checked_at timestamp, and suggested follow-up endpoint paths for further data.
