# Saylor Innovations EVM Ethereum Network Status

> Saylor Innovations EVM Ethereum Network Status is a paid API for AI agents from saylorinnovations.com, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-30).

Fetches live Ethereum mainnet network status including current block number, chain ID, base fee, gas price, and block age

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://saylorinnovations.com/api/evm/ethereum/network?utm_source=zero.xyz
- Price: $0.001/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-30
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/saylor-innovations-evm-ethereum-network-status-e8b21940
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_aeRrwrCWMe6eSKQ_wOJGF

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-ethereum-network-status-e8b21940
```

Example prompt: What's the current Ethereum network status — block number, gas price in gwei, and base fee — right now?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, cheap ($0.001 USDC) on-chain lookup for Ethereum mainnet network state — especially current gas prices, base fee, and block freshness — without setting up your own Ethereum node or RPC provider. Ideal for agents that need to make dynamic gas-fee decisions or verify Ethereum liveness before executing transactions.

## Known failure modes

- Node unavailable: block, chain_id, gas_price_gwei, base_fee_gwei, and block_age_seconds may return null
- Payment failure: x402 micropayment of $0.001 USDC not settled correctly
- Rate limiting: too many requests in a short window
- Network congestion causing delayed block data

## How this service works

EVM Network Status (ethereum). Ethereum network status: chain ID, block height, block age, gas price and base fee.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the Ethereum chain name, chain ID (integer), current block number, base fee in gwei, gas price in gwei, and block age in seconds. Fields may be null if the node is temporarily unavailable or syncing.
