## 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 phantom-api-avalanche-latest-block-ce3848a3 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the latest block on the Avalanche network right now — give me the block number, hash, and timestamp?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time access to the latest Avalanche block without managing your own RPC node or API key subscription. It is especially useful for pay-per-call scenarios where you only need occasional Avalanche block lookups and do not want ongoing infrastructure costs. Prefer this over self-hosted solutions when lightweight, on-demand blockchain data retrieval is sufficient.

## Known failure modes

- Network or RPC node unavailability returns a 5xx error
- Payment of $0.01 USDC not provided or invalid returns a 402 Payment Required
- Avalanche network congestion may cause delayed or stale block data
- Malformed request body returns a 400 validation error

## How this service works

## Output

Returns structured data about the most recently produced block on the Avalanche network, including block number/height, block hash, parent hash, timestamp, transaction count, and other block-level metadata.
