# HubVibe Base Chain Network Status

> HubVibe Base Chain Network Status is a paid API for AI agents from hubvibe-io.com, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-11).

Returns the current Base mainnet block height and gas price read live from a Base RPC node

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 hubvibe-base-chain-network-status-08c6735c -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check the current Base mainnet block height and gas price right now? I want to see if the chain is live before I submit a transaction.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a real-time, authoritative read of Base mainnet block height and gas price directly from an RPC node — ideal for agents that must confirm chain liveness or decide whether current gas fees are acceptable before triggering an on-chain action. Prefer this over general-purpose blockchain explorers when low-latency, pay-per-call pricing and programmatic agent integration matter.

## Known failure modes

- RPC node unavailable or rate-limited — may return 5xx or timeout
- Base network outage — stale or missing block data
- Malformed POST body — returns 400 if required body fields are missing
- Price spike or network congestion may cause delayed response

## How this service works

Base network status and gas price: current block height and gas price (wei and gwei), live from a Base mainnet RPC node. Use it to check Base is moving, time an on-chain action or estimate gas before sending a transaction. Keyless, pay per call. No input needed.

## Output

Returns the live Base mainnet block height (current block number) and gas price (in wei or gwei) sourced directly from a Base RPC node, allowing the caller to assess chain liveness and current network fee conditions.
