## 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 losbeto-chain-block-info-09b43bee
```

Example prompt: What's the current block number, timestamp, and gas usage on the Base blockchain right now?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need the cheapest, fastest single read of live Base chain metadata — block number, timestamp, age, and gas — without running your own node or paying for a heavier RPC subscription. Ideal for liveness checks, gas estimation triggers, or timestamping agent actions against the chain.

## Known failure modes

- Node connectivity issues may cause 503 errors or stale data
- Payment failure via x402 protocol returns 402 Payment Required
- Rate limiting or insufficient USDC balance may block repeated calls
- Response may briefly lag if the underlying node is syncing

## How this service works

OpenAI-compatible LLM gateway at $0.005/call — change base_url, pay in USDC. Plus pay-per-call market data: multi-oracle price consensus, sentiment, forex, equities, commodities, Brazil macro (BCB/B3) and crypto. No API keys, no accounts. USDC on Base, Solana, Algorand and Polygon via x402.

## Output

A JSON object containing the current Base blockchain block number, block timestamp (Unix time), block age (seconds since last block), and gas used in the latest block — sourced directly from a live node.
