# Mint Intel: Base Network Info

> Mint Intel: Base Network Info is a paid API for AI agents from mintintel.35-171-220-195.sslip.io, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-31).

Returns a batched snapshot of Base chain state including chain ID, block height, head age, gas price, base fee, priority fee, block gas used/limit, and RPC client version in a single call.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://mintintel.35-171-220-195.sslip.io/v1/base/network-info?utm_source=zero.xyz
- Price: $0.001/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-10-31
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/mint-intel-base-network-info-53c33113
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_2mifvnsjofIo6mmfa1uwc

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 mint-intel-base-network-info-53c33113
```

Example prompt: What are the current gas prices and block height on the Base network right now — including base fee, priority fee, and how old the chain head is?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a comprehensive, low-latency snapshot of Base chain state in a single batched call rather than making multiple separate RPC calls. Ideal for pre-flight checks before signing transactions, gas estimation workflows, chain health monitoring, or dashboards that need Base network metrics without maintaining their own RPC infrastructure. Prefer over Ethereum equivalents when specifically targeting the Base L2 network.

## Known failure modes

- RPC node unreachable — returns 5xx or empty response
- Base RPC node temporarily behind — headAgeSeconds may be elevated
- Payment not processed (x402) — returns 402 Payment Required
- Unexpected network congestion may cause stale data in the snapshot

## How this service works

Base network info - chain ID, block height, chain head age, gas price, base fee, priority fee, block gas used/limit and RPC client version in one batched RPC call (eth_chainId + eth_getBlockByNumber + eth_gasPrice + eth_maxPriorityFeePerGas).

## Output

Returns a JSON object with chainId (integer), blockNumber (integer), headAgeSeconds (integer indicating how old the chain head is), gasPriceGwei (string), base fee, priority fee, block gas used, block gas limit, and the RPC client version string — all sourced from a single batched RPC call combining eth_chainId, eth_getBlockByNumber, eth_gasPrice, and eth_maxPriorityFeePerGas.
