How this service works
Latest Base block height - current chain tip via eth_blockNumber (cached <=1 s). The cheapest liveness / clock tick for Base agents.
Output
A JSON object containing the Base chain ID (integer) and the current block number (integer) representing the latest confirmed block at the time of the call, cached for up to 1 second.
Example use cases
Liveness check for Base agent
“Can you confirm that the Base blockchain is still producing blocks and tell me the current block height?”
Onchain clock tick for automation
“I need the latest Base block number to use as a timestamp anchor for my scheduled onchain task — can you grab it?”
Sync lag monitoring
“Fetch the current Base block number so I can compare it against the last block I processed and see how far behind my indexer is.”

Endpoint
GEThttps://mintintel.35-171-220-195.sslip.io/v1/base/block-number?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need the cheapest, fastest liveness signal or chain-tip reference for Base. It requires no input parameters and returns in real time, making it ideal for polling loops, health checks, or timestamp anchoring in Base-native agent workflows. Prefer this over full block-detail endpoints when you only need the block number, not transaction data.
Side effects
- Upstream RPC node unreachable — returns 5xx error
- Stale cache if Base experiences a block production halt — block number may lag real tip by up to 1 second
- Rate limiting if call volume exceeds plan — returns 429
- Payment not fulfilled — returns 402 with payment details
