## 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 gentech-gas-10200686
```

Example prompt: What are the current gas prices on the Base network right now? I want to know if it's a good time to send a transaction.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time gas price data specifically for the Base Network within a GenTech Labs ecosystem context, especially if already using other GenTech services (DeFi, Market, Security) and want a unified pay-per-call pricing model via x402 protocol at $0.005 USDC per call.

## Known failure modes

- Network unavailability returns 5xx error
- Rate limiting if called too frequently without payment
- Invalid query parameters return 400 error
- x402 payment not fulfilled results in 402 Payment Required response
- Stale data if upstream blockchain node is lagging

## How this service works
