## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need the current Ethereum mainnet gas price in wei with a simple, no-parameter GET call.

## Known failure modes

- Ethereum node sync issues may return a stale or error response
- HTTP 402 if payment is not properly attached to the request
- Transient Tailscale network issues may cause connection timeouts
