## 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-ink-network-latest-block-c59a8821 -d '<json body>'
```

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

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, pay-per-call access to the latest block on the Ink network specifically, without committing to a subscription RPC provider. Ideal for agents that query infrequently or need chain-head data across multiple networks on-demand. Prefer this over self-hosted RPC nodes when low operational overhead and micro-payment billing via x402/USDC are acceptable.

## Known failure modes

- Network unavailable — Ink RPC node unreachable, returns 5xx error
- Payment failure — x402 payment not accepted or insufficient USDC balance, returns 402
- Malformed request body — missing required fields (type, method, bodyType, body), returns 400
- Chain sync lag — returned block may be slightly behind true chain head during periods of high load
- Rate limiting — repeated rapid calls may be throttled

## How this service works

Lightning-fast access to blockchain data, smart contract insights, and Web3 infrastructure across 57+ networks. Pay-per-call via x402.

## Output

Returns the latest block object from the Ink blockchain network, typically including block number (height), block hash, parent hash, timestamp, transaction count, and other block header fields specific to the Ink chain.
