# Pocket Network – Sonic Mainnet JSON-RPC

> Pocket Network – Sonic Mainnet 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 Sonic mainnet (Fantom successor chain) via Pocket Network's decentralised relay network, billed per request in USDC.

## Facts

- Endpoint: POST https://agent.pocket.network/v1/sonic?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-sonic-mainnet-json-rpc-f342a0d7
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_Io1vFWfAyWAC7T8MsKd1H

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-sonic-mainnet-json-rpc-f342a0d7 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the current ETH balance of wallet 0xAbC...123 on Sonic mainnet? Use the Pocket Network Sonic RPC with eth_getBalance.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need trustless, decentralised, keyless Ethereum-compatible RPC access to Sonic mainnet (the Fantom successor chain) and want pay-per-request USDC billing with no account or API key setup. Prefer over centralised RPC providers when censorship resistance or decentralisation matters, or when you need a simple x402-compatible pay-as-you-go model for agent workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported RPC method returns JSON-RPC error code -32601
- Malformed params returns error code -32602 (invalid params)
- Node temporarily unavailable returns HTTP 503 or JSON-RPC internal error -32603
- Payment not attached or insufficient USDC returns HTTP 402 Payment Required
- Rate limit exceeded returns HTTP 429
- Querying a block or transaction hash that doesn't exist returns null result

## How this service works

Read-only JSON-RPC access to Sonic mainnet, the Fantom successor chain, served by the Pocket Network decentralised supplier set. Pay per request in USDC; no account, no API key.

## Output

Returns a standard Ethereum JSON-RPC response object with a result field containing the requested data (balance in wei, block object, transaction receipt, logs array, gas estimate as hex, etc.) or an error object with code and message on failure.
