# Naven Network Random Value Generator

> Naven Network Random Value Generator is a paid API for AI agents from ping-api.naven.network, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status down (last checked 2026-09-15).

Generates high-quality random values (numbers, bytes, or seeds) on demand via a paid HTTP endpoint for applications requiring cryptographic-grade entropy.

## Facts

- Endpoint: POST https://ping-api.naven.network/base/random
- Price: $0.001/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: down
- Last checked: 2026-09-15
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/ping-api-naven-network-7888c8b7
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_OHEdDkM3xPOz5zFEDLq2l

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 ping-api-naven-network-7888c8b7 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Generate a high-quality random seed of 32 bytes for me using the Naven Network random endpoint — I need cryptographic-grade entropy for a key derivation function.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need high-quality, paid-guarantee random values for cryptographic seeding, nonce generation, or simulation — especially in automated agent workflows where on-chain or auditable entropy sourcing matters and the $0.001 USDC micropayment cost per call is acceptable.

## Known failure modes

- Payment failure if USDC balance is insufficient or x402 protocol handshake fails
- Invalid parameter types causing 400 Bad Request
- Network timeout if the Naven Network endpoint is unreachable
- Rate limiting if too many requests are made in a short window
- Missing or malformed request body returning 422 Unprocessable Entity

## How this service works

Generates high-quality random values (numbers, bytes, or seeds) via a paid HTTP endpoint for applications needing entropy.

## Output

Returns high-quality random values in the requested format — could be a random number, a byte array, or a seed — suitable for cryptographic or simulation use. Each call costs $0.001 USDC via x402 micropayment.
