## 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 money-ai-gas-now-d2c5292c -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What does an ERC-20 transfer cost on Base right now, and is gas cheap enough to go ahead with a batch settlement?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a live, pre-interpreted gas cost for Base mainnet operations (especially ERC-20 transfers) rather than a raw wei value from an RPC call. It is ideal for agents that need to make spend/wait decisions in real time without parsing blockchain data themselves. Prefer it over generic RPC endpoints when you want affordability context baked in, not just a gas price integer.

## Known failure modes

- Base RPC node unavailable or rate-limited — returns an error indicating live data could not be fetched
- Malformed request body (wrong skill value) — returns validation error
- x402 payment not processed — request rejected before execution
- Transient Cloudflare Worker timeout — may return 500 or timeout error

## How this service works

Current Base gas price with common operations already costed - whether a transfer is affordable right now, not a raw wei number. Answered from live Base mainnet, not a model, so it is current and costs the same every time. Use it for: What does an ERC-20 transfer cost on Base right now?; Is gas cheap enough to settle a batch this minute?

## Output

Returns the live Base mainnet gas price alongside pre-computed cost estimates for common operations such as ERC-20 transfers, expressed in human-readable amounts rather than raw wei, plus an affordability signal indicating whether current conditions are favorable for transacting.
