# Pocket Network – Unichain JSON-RPC

> Pocket Network – Unichain 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 2026-10-03).

Provides read-only Ethereum JSON-RPC access to Unichain (Uniswap's OP-Stack L2) via the Pocket Network decentralized relay, billed per-request in USDC with no API key required.

## Facts

- Endpoint: POST https://agent.pocket.network/v1/unichain?utm_source=zero.xyz
- Price: $0.005/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-10-03
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/pocket-network-unichain-json-rpc-96a8e4b0
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_J91raMz70dUJvrJQZ6YXh

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-unichain-json-rpc-96a8e4b0 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the current ETH balance of 0xAbCd...1234 on Unichain? Use the Pocket Network decentralized relay — no API key needed.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need trustless, decentralised JSON-RPC access to Unichain specifically (Uniswap's OP-Stack L2) without registering an account or managing API keys. It is ideal for AI agents that want pay-per-use access via USDC micropayments (x402 protocol) and don't want vendor lock-in to a centralised RPC provider. Prefer alternatives if you need write access (eth_sendRawTransaction), WebSocket subscriptions, or a different EVM chain.

## Known failure modes

- Method not supported — returns JSON-RPC error code -32601 if the method is not in the allowed read-only list
- Invalid params — returns -32602 if params don't match the method's expected signature
- Node not synced — may return stale or missing data if the underlying Pocket supplier is behind
- Payment failure — HTTP 402 if the x402 USDC micropayment is not included or insufficient
- Rate limiting — HTTP 429 if request volume exceeds per-session limits
- Network timeout — upstream Pocket relay may time out for heavy debug_ calls

## How this service works

Read-only JSON-RPC access to Unichain, the OP-Stack L2 by Uniswap, served by the Pocket Network decentralised supplier set. Pay per request in USDC; no account, no API key.

## Output

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