# MERX TRON Network Info

> MERX TRON Network Info is a paid API for AI agents from merx.exchange, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Returns real-time TRON blockchain network data including energy prices, bandwidth costs, and chain status to support USDT payment infrastructure for AI agents

## 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 merx-tron-network-info-7f0397bf -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What are the current TRON network energy and bandwidth prices right now? I need to estimate the cost of sending USDT on TRON before executing a payment.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to check TRON network conditions before sending USDT — particularly to estimate energy costs, check if automatic energy provisioning is needed, or verify chain health. Prefer over generic blockchain explorers when you need structured, agent-ready data with sub-3s latency and built-in x402 micropayment support.

## Known failure modes

- TRON node unavailable — returns 503 with retry-after header
- Invalid network parameter — returns 400 with supported network list
- Payment header missing or invalid — returns 402 requiring $0.01 USDC x402 payment
- Rate limit exceeded — returns 429

## How this service works

TRON payment infrastructure for AI agents. Send and receive USDT with automatic energy, monitor wallets with less than 3s detection, access real-time blockchain data. TRON x402 facilitator (first in coinbase/x402 ecosystem registry).

## Output

Returns real-time TRON network parameters including current energy price (sun/energy), bandwidth price, latest block height, TRX/USD price, estimated USDT transfer cost in energy units, and overall network congestion status.
