## 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-f37e0265
```

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

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-call ERC-20 token balance lookup on Base or Ethereum without setting up an API key or account. It is ideal for agents that only occasionally need on-chain balance data and want a serverless, no-registration path. It returns both raw and formatted balances in a single call, saving downstream formatting work.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid EVM address format returns an error
- Unsupported chain value (not 'base' or 'ethereum') causes rejection
- Invalid or non-existent ERC-20 contract address returns an error or zero balance
- Network connectivity issues to the blockchain RPC may cause timeouts
- Payment of 0.002 USDC via x402 required; missing payment returns HTTP 402

## 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 containing: the raw token balance as an integer string (e.g. '12500000'), the formatted human-readable balance (e.g. '12.5'), the token symbol (e.g. 'USDC'), and the number of decimals used by the token contract (e.g. 6).
