# MERX TRON Prices

> MERX TRON Prices 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).

Retrieves real-time TRON network price data (e.g. energy, bandwidth, TRX/USDT rates) used for cost estimation and payment routing on the TRON blockchain

## 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-prices-2438406d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What are the current TRON network prices right now — specifically energy costs and the TRX to USDT rate — so I can estimate how much it'll cost to send 100 USDT on TRON?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time TRON network resource pricing (energy, bandwidth, TRX rates) specifically for cost estimation before sending USDT on TRON. Prefer this over generic crypto price APIs when you need TRON-specific operational costs rather than just exchange rates, and when operating within the x402 payment protocol ecosystem.

## Known failure modes

- Network congestion causes stale or delayed price data
- TRON RPC node unavailability returns 503 or timeout
- Invalid request body returns 400 bad request
- Payment header missing or invalid (x402) returns 402 Payment Required
- Rate limiting if quota 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 pricing data including TRX/USDT exchange rates, energy unit costs, bandwidth costs, and derived fee estimates for USDT transfers — enabling agents to calculate transaction costs before executing TRON payments.
