# Saylor Innovations EVM Base Network Status

> Saylor Innovations EVM Base Network Status is a paid API for AI agents from saylorinnovations.com, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-02).

Returns real-time on-chain status for the Base EVM network, including latest block number, chain ID, gas price, base fee, and block age.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://saylorinnovations.com/api/evm/base/network?utm_source=zero.xyz
- Price: $0.001/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-10-02
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/saylor-innovations-evm-base-network-status-b19b5084
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_ACXRW7HADHXpp0tVtsNwn

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 saylor-innovations-evm-base-network-status-b19b5084
```

Example prompt: What's the current gas price and latest block number on the Base network right now?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time Base network status — gas prices, current block, or chain health — without running your own node. Prefer this over Ethereum mainnet endpoints when your workflow targets the Base L2 specifically. It is cheaper and faster than setting up a full RPC subscription for one-off status checks.

## Known failure modes

- RPC node unavailable — fields may return null values
- Network congestion or reorg may cause stale block age
- HTTP 402 if payment header is missing or insufficient
- Unexpected null for block or chain_id if the Base RPC endpoint is unreachable

## How this service works

EVM Network Status (base) — On-Chain Data

## Output

A JSON object containing the chain name (e.g. 'base'), numeric chain ID, latest block number, base fee in gwei, gas price in gwei, and block age in seconds. Any field may be null if the data is temporarily unavailable.
