## 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 erc-20-token-balance-lookup-base-ethereum-e15a4d6e
```

Example prompt: What's the USDC balance of wallet 0xd8dA6BF26964aF9D7eEd9e03E53415D37aA96045 on Base? The USDC contract is 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a pay-per-call, no-account ERC-20 token balance check on Base or Ethereum and want to avoid API key management. Ideal for agents making occasional on-demand balance lookups without committing to a subscription. Not suited for high-frequency polling or multi-chain batch queries.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed wallet address returns an error response
- Unsupported chain identifier (not 'base' or 'ethereum') causes a validation failure
- Invalid or non-ERC-20 contract address may return zero balance or an error
- Payment via x402/USDC on Base not settled causes 402 rejection before query executes
- Network or node connectivity issues from the Europe hub may cause timeouts

## How this service works

Pay-per-call website uptime/latency/TLS checks and fetch-to-Markdown, measured from Hub Europe (Germany). USDC on Base via x402. No account or API key.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with four fields: 'balance' (human-readable decimal string, e.g. '12.5'), 'raw' (integer string before decimal adjustment, e.g. '12500000'), 'symbol' (token ticker, e.g. 'USDC'), and 'decimals' (integer precision, e.g. 6).
