# EVM Chain Balance Lookup (Europe/Germany Hub)

> EVM Chain Balance Lookup (Europe/Germany Hub) is a paid API for AI agents from ariogw.ccwu.cc:8443, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-27).

Retrieves the native token balance, nonce, and block info for an EVM address on Base or Ethereum, queried from a European node, paid per-call via USDC on Base using x402.

## 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 evm-chain-balance-lookup-europe-germany-hub-199751f3
```

Example prompt: What's the current ETH balance and nonce for wallet 0xd8dA6BF26964aF9D7eEd9e03E53415D37aA96045 on Base?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, no-account, pay-per-call native token balance check for an EVM address on Base or Ethereum, particularly when querying from a European network vantage point matters or when you want to avoid setting up API keys with providers like Alchemy or Infura. Ideal for lightweight agent workflows that need on-chain balance data without a persistent subscription.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed 0x address returns an error or empty result
- Unsupported chain value (not 'base' or 'ethereum') results in error
- Payment failure via x402 if USDC funds are insufficient or payment not completed
- Node connectivity issues from the European hub may cause timeouts
- Missing required query parameters (chain or address) returns a schema validation error

## 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

A JSON object containing the wallet address, chain name, current block number, ETH balance as a decimal string, balance in wei, and the account nonce. Example: {block: 36000000, chain: 'base', nonce: 5, address: '0x...', balance_eth: '0.0123', balance_wei: '12300000000000000'}.
