# Pocket Network – Ink (OP-Stack L2) JSON-RPC

> Pocket Network – Ink (OP-Stack L2) JSON-RPC is a paid API for AI agents from agent.pocket.network, paid per call via x402, $0.005/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-02).

Provides read-only Ethereum-compatible JSON-RPC access to the Ink L2 network (Kraken's OP-Stack chain) via Pocket Network's decentralised node supplier set, paid per request in USDC.

## Facts

- Endpoint: POST https://agent.pocket.network/v1/ink?utm_source=zero.xyz
- Price: $0.005/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-10-02
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/pocket-network-ink-op-stack-l2-json-rpc-6d1e3b95
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_nart6KSY9CuqOyf4VAC-C

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 pocket-network-ink-op-stack-l2-json-rpc-6d1e3b95 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the current ETH balance of wallet 0xAbC...123 on the Ink L2 network? Use eth_getBalance with the latest block tag.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need trustless, decentralised read access to the Ink L2 blockchain (Kraken's OP-Stack chain) without an API key or account sign-up. Prefer it over centralised RPC providers when censorship-resistance and supplier diversity matter, or when USDC micropayment billing (pay-per-call) is more suitable than subscription plans. Prefer centralised providers if you need write access, websocket subscriptions, or archive data with complex trace calls not supported here.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid JSON-RPC method name returns error code -32601 (method not found)
- Write methods (eth_sendRawTransaction) rejected as endpoint is read-only
- Malformed params return error -32602 (invalid params)
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC or bad x402 header) results in HTTP 402
- Rate limits or supplier unavailability may produce HTTP 503 or timeout
- Querying a block or transaction that doesn't exist returns null result

## How this service works

Pay-per-call access to Pocket Network services. No account, no API key.

## Output

A standard Ethereum JSON-RPC response object containing a 'result' field with the requested data (balance in wei, block object, transaction receipt, array of logs, hex-encoded values, etc.) or an 'error' field with code and message if the call fails.
