# Saylor Innovations EVM Network Status — Optimism

> Saylor Innovations EVM Network Status — Optimism 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).

Returns real-time Optimism network status including current block number, chain ID, base fee, gas price, and block age.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://saylorinnovations.com/api/evm/optimism/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-network-status-optimism-61a55373
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_LeoGw5LyhtPpQA_KeDsSh

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-network-status-optimism-61a55373
```

Example prompt: What's the current block number, gas price, and base fee on the Optimism network right now?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time Optimism network status — especially current gas prices, base fees, or block confirmation data — without running your own Optimism node. Ideal for agents that need to decide whether to submit transactions, monitor chain health, or display live L2 network metrics. Prefer this over Ethereum mainnet endpoints when the target chain is specifically Optimism (OP Mainnet).

## Known failure modes

- Network or RPC node unavailability returns null values for block, chain_id, base_fee_gwei, gas_price_gwei, and block_age_seconds
- Payment not included or insufficient results in HTTP 402 rejection
- Stale or lagging RPC node may return an elevated block_age_seconds indicating chain sync issues
- Non-GET requests return an error as only GET is supported

## How this service works

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

## Output

A JSON object containing the chain name ('optimism'), numeric chain ID, current 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.
