# manylives.me Base Transaction Explainer

> manylives.me Base Transaction Explainer is a paid API for AI agents from manylives.me, paid per call via x402, $0.005/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-11).

Fetches and explains a Base network transaction: status, sender/receiver, native value, fee, all token transfers with symbols and amounts, and a plain-English summary — with optional payment verification.

## 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 manylives-me-base-transaction-explainer-62fa50a0
```

Example prompt: Can you check Base transaction 0x4a7b3c... and tell me whether it succeeded, who sent it, who received it, and what tokens were transferred — and confirm that 0xABCD... received at least $5 USD worth of stablecoins?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to verify a Base network transaction before taking an action (e.g. releasing goods or services), decode what actually happened in a transaction including all token transfers, or confirm a specific party received a minimum USD amount — especially in agentic payment flows using x402 or stablecoin rails.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent transaction hash returns an error
- Transaction not yet indexed (too recent) may return empty or pending state
- Non-Base-network transaction hashes will not resolve
- expect_min_usd mismatch returns payment_check.received = false
- Malformed 0x address in expect_to returns validation error
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns HTTP 402

## How this service works

Explain or verify a Base network transaction: status, from/to, native value, fee, every token transfer (with symbols and amounts) and a one-line plain summary. Use it to confirm a payment arrived before delivering work.

## Output

A JSON object containing: transaction hash, status (success/failed), from and to addresses, native ETH value, fee in ETH, an array of token transfers each with token symbol, amount, sender and recipient, a payment_check object indicating whether a recipient received funds and the USD amount, and a one-line plain-English summary of what happened.
