- Price: $0.003/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-14

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 speer-cyber-defense-base-blockchain-gas-price-feed-f0fa98e8
```

Example prompt: What are the current gas prices on the Base blockchain right now? I need to know if it's a good time to submit a transaction.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you specifically need real-time gas price data for the Base (Coinbase L2) blockchain network. Prefer it over generic Ethereum gas APIs when your agent is transacting on Base specifically. The pay-per-call micropayment model ($0.003 USDC) via x402 makes it suitable for agent automation pipelines that only pay when queried. Failed analyses are not billed, reducing financial risk.

## Known failure modes

- HTTP 503 if the Base blockchain data source is temporarily unavailable — not billed on failure
- Stale data if Base network RPC endpoints are lagging
- Network timeout if Base node connectivity is degraded
- Empty or incomplete gas data during Base network incidents

## How this service works

Cybersecurity micropayments API for AI agents — pay-per-call USDC on Base and Solana (x402 v2). Free utility services under /v1/free/* and gateway select under /v1/gateway/* (Public). Paid cybersecurity analysis, CVE/security news feeds, Base blockchain intelligence, network intel utilities, composite domain/URL reports, research, conversion, verification, and feeds. Failed security analyses are not billed (HTTP 503).

## Output

Returns a JSON object with ok status, tool identifier, and a summary field containing current Base blockchain gas price data including fee estimates and network congestion indicators useful for timing transactions or estimating costs.
