# Gnosis ETH GetBalance

> Gnosis ETH GetBalance is a paid API for AI agents from ari001.tailb4ac3a.ts.net, paid per call via x402, $0.003/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-23).

Returns the native xDAI balance in wei for a given address on Gnosis Chain via eth_getBalance at the latest block.

## 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 gnosis-eth-getbalance-b9d1d073
```

Example prompt: What is the current xDAI balance of the Gnosis Chain address 0x4838B106FCe9647Bdf1E7877BF73cE8B0BAD5f97?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to read the native xDAI balance on Gnosis Chain specifically (not Ethereum mainnet or other EVM chains). It is a direct, cheap ($0.003) read-only RPC call returning the latest block balance. Use this over Ethereum mainnet balance endpoints when the target wallet is on Gnosis Chain, and over ERC-20 balance endpoints when you need the native gas token (xDAI) rather than a token contract balance.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid address format (not 0x + 40 hex) returns a validation error
- Address not found or never used returns 0 balance (not an error)
- RPC node unavailability returns ok=false with error message
- Malformed request missing the address parameter returns an error

## How this service works

Returns the native xDAI balance in wei of one address on Gnosis Chain, read with eth_getBalance at the latest block. Takes one query parameter: address (0x + 40 hex). Query: address (0x + 40 hex).

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a boolean 'ok' field, the balance as an integer in wei ('result'), a hex representation of the balance ('hex'), and the chain name ('chain'). On failure, returns ok=false with an 'error' string describing the problem.
