## 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 synapse-api-latest-block-lookup-adi-73c13c3f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What is the latest block on the Ethereum network right now? Use the Synapse ADI block endpoint to fetch the current block data.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time latest block data across a wide range of blockchain networks (57+) without maintaining your own node infrastructure. It is especially useful for agents that need to check chain liveness, retrieve current block height, or anchor a timestamp to a specific block, particularly when paying per-call via x402 USDC is acceptable and you want multi-chain coverage from a single API.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported blockchain network returns an error or empty response
- Malformed request body (missing required fields) returns a 400-level error
- Payment not provided or insufficient USDC results in a 402 Payment Required response
- Network or upstream blockchain node timeout returns a 5xx error
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded returns a 429 error

## How this service works

High-speed API suite for AI processing, web scraping, and smart data utilities across 57+ blockchain networks. Pay-per-call via x402.

## Output

Returns the latest block information from the specified blockchain network, including block number, hash, timestamp, and related metadata for the chain tip.
