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 fiatdock-base-gas-price-5e1f2e03 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the current gas price on Base right now — give me both the gwei and wei values?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a cheap, real-time read of the current Base network gas price without running your own RPC node. It is ideal for pre-flight transaction cost estimation, gas monitoring workflows, or any agent that needs to gate actions on current Base gas conditions. At $0.001 USDC per call it is cost-effective for frequent polling. Prefer this over general Ethereum gas APIs when you specifically need Base L2 gas data.

## Known failure modes

- Network connectivity issues may return a 503 or timeout
- RPC node unavailability may cause stale or missing data
- Payment failure via x402 protocol returns 402 if USDC balance is insufficient
- Malformed request body may return 400

## How this service works

Base gas price — current wei/gwei. Cheap read-only chain primitive. Pay-per-call via x402.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the current Base network gas price including: timestamp of the reading (asOf), gas price in gwei (e.g. 0.006), the network identifier ('base'), and the raw wei-per-gas value as a string (e.g. '6000000').
