# Riley Craig x402 Agent Store — Chain Gas Price Lookup

> Riley Craig x402 Agent Store — Chain Gas Price Lookup is a paid API for AI agents from x402-agent-store.rileycraig14.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-13).

Returns current gas prices (fast, average, slow) in gwei for a specified EVM blockchain network, payable per-call in USDC via x402.

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 riley-craig-x402-agent-store-chain-gas-price-lookup-7731077b
```

Example prompt: What are the current gas prices on Base — give me fast, average, and slow gwei estimates so I can decide when to submit my transaction.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs real-time EVM gas price data across multiple chains (Base, Ethereum, Optimism, Arbitrum, Polygon, Gnosis) without managing API keys or subscriptions. Ideal for autonomous agents that pay per-call in USDC via x402 and need lightweight, no-signup gas oracle access before executing on-chain transactions.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported chain name returns error or default fallback to ethereum
- Network congestion or upstream RPC unavailability may cause stale or missing data
- Missing 'chain' query param defaults to ethereum — agent must be aware of this default
- Payment failure via x402 (insufficient USDC balance) blocks the call entirely

## How this service works

Live network gas prices (slow / average / fast, in gwei) for any chain — the pre-transaction read every trading, sniping, and settlement agent makes before sending a tx to size the fee. Across Base, Ethereum, Optimism, Arbitrum, Polygon, Gnosis. Free upstream (Blockscout); one paid call instead of running your own RPC.

## Output

A JSON object with numeric gas price values for fast, average, and slow transaction speeds in gwei, plus the chain name and unit label. Example: {fast: 0.71, average: 0.55, slow: 0.42, unit: 'gwei', chain: 'ethereum'}.
