# PayAI Crypto Hash Utility

> PayAI Crypto Hash Utility is a paid API for AI agents from payai.agentstools.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Computes cryptographic hashes and Ethereum-specific derived values (keccak256, sha256, 4-byte function selector, event topic0, ENS namehash/labelhash) from a string or hex input.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://payai.agentstools.dev/crypto/hash
- Price: $0.001/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-15
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/payai-crypto-hash-utility-fc60b6fe
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_d-gJlITgUPIU6-D_rNm5S

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 payai-crypto-hash-utility-fc60b6fe
```

Example prompt: What's the keccak256 hash of the UTF-8 string 'Hello, World!' and also give me the 4-byte ABI function selector for 'transfer(address,uint256)'?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to compute Ethereum-ecosystem cryptographic primitives — especially ENS namehash/labelhash or Solidity ABI selectors — without running local code. Prefer it over generic hash libraries when the agent needs selector or event topic0 derivation from human-readable Solidity signatures, or ENS name resolution primitives.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'algo' or 'input' query parameters — returns 400 Bad Request
- Invalid algo enum value — returns 400 with validation error
- Malformed 0x-hex input when encoding=hex is specified — returns 400 or incorrect result
- Input string too long or malformed for the selected algorithm — may return 400 or 500
- Payment not provided or insufficient — returns 402 Payment Required

## How this service works

Compute keccak256/sha256, a 4-byte function selector, an event topic0, or an ENS namehash/labelhash from a string or hex input.

## Output

Returns a hex-encoded hash or derived value corresponding to the requested algorithm — e.g. a 32-byte keccak256 digest, a 4-byte function selector, a 32-byte event topic0, or the ENS namehash/labelhash for the given input string.
