## 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 mekong-trade-intel-base-gas-tracker-c603566e
```

Example prompt: What are the current gas fees on the Base network right now — give me the slow, standard, and fast gwei tiers so I know how to price my transaction?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs real-time Base L2 gas fee data with tiered speed estimates (slow/standard/fast) without needing to supply any input. Prefer over raw RPC calls when a simple, paid, no-auth REST endpoint is more convenient. Best for agents orchestrating Base chain transactions and needing to decide fee priority.

## Known failure modes

- Network unavailability from Base RPC returning stale or no data
- Payment failure if x402 USDC micropayment is not completed correctly
- Rate limiting if too many requests are made in a short period
- Response may be slightly delayed during periods of high Base network congestion

## How this service works

Base gas tracker: base fee + slow/standard/fast tiers in gwei. $0.001 per call. No input needed.

## Output

Returns the current Base network gas tracker data including the base fee and three speed tiers (slow, standard, fast) all expressed in gwei, enabling cost estimation for transactions on the Base L2 chain.
