# Kristo Intelligence — Base Network Gas Oracle

> Kristo Intelligence — Base Network Gas Oracle is a paid API for AI agents from kristo-intelligence.vercel.app, paid per call via x402, $0.05/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns current Base network gas price estimates (and optionally a detailed gas tier breakdown) for transaction cost planning on Base L2.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://kristo-intelligence.vercel.app/api/crypto/gas-oracle
- Price: $0.05/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-14
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/kristo-intelligence-base-network-gas-oracle-6f15d30a
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_0zXfvPr0cFi5zpDHMYs9h

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 kristo-intelligence-base-network-gas-oracle-6f15d30a
```

Example prompt: What are the current gas prices on Base right now — give me the detailed breakdown with slow, standard, and fast tiers so I can decide whether to send my transaction now or wait.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when building agents or workflows that need real-time Base L2 gas pricing, particularly when optimizing DeFi transaction timing or estimating on-chain costs. It is pay-per-call with no API key required, making it ideal for lightweight agents using the x402 protocol. Prefer over generic Ethereum gas oracles when the target chain is specifically Base (Coinbase L2).

## Known failure modes

- Base RPC node temporarily unavailable — returns 5xx error
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402 protocol — returns 402 Payment Required
- Invalid parameter type for 'detail' field — returns 400 Bad Request
- Stale data if upstream oracle is delayed — gas estimates may not reflect real-time network conditions

Pay-per-call DeFi Intelligence API on Base Blockchain

## Output

Returns current Base network gas prices, including at minimum a recommended gas estimate. With detail=true, returns a full breakdown of slow/standard/fast gas tiers, current base fee, and suggested priority fee (tip) in gwei or wei — allowing precise cost estimation before submitting transactions.
