Endpoint
GEThttps://plainchain.appin60.com/v1/fact?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you want a pre-curated, human-readable blockchain history fact without needing to query chain data yourself. It's ideal for content generation, trivia bots, newsletters, or onboarding UX where you need an engaging crypto fact tied to a real block number. Prefer over raw chain data endpoints when you need narrative content rather than raw on-chain values.

- Payment not provided or insufficient USDC via x402 — returns 402 Payment Required
