# Vextorium Blockchain Network Status

> Vextorium Blockchain Network Status is a paid API for AI agents from api.vextorium.com, paid per call via x402, $0.003/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-15).

Returns live status (latest block, seconds since last block, gas price, and health) for Bitcoin, Solana, and 12 EVM chains in a single call.

## Facts

- Endpoint: POST https://api.vextorium.com/v1/blockchain-status?utm_source=zero.xyz
- Price: $0.003/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-10-15
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/vextorium-blockchain-network-status-b8c34a49
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_eHgl5bTnZtWx0bcTMzWDk

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 vextorium-blockchain-network-status-b8c34a49 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check the live status of all the major blockchain networks right now — I need to know which ones are ok, which are slow, and what the current gas prices and latest block numbers are for Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, and the others?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a unified, real-time health overview of multiple blockchain networks in one call, rather than querying individual chain RPCs separately. Ideal for pre-transaction checks, monitoring dashboards, or routing logic that needs to pick the healthiest or cheapest chain. Covers Bitcoin and Solana in addition to 12 EVM chains, which most EVM-only status APIs miss.

## Known failure modes

- RPC node unreachable for a specific chain — that network may be missing or show null values
- Stale data if upstream public RPC nodes are lagging
- Network may appear halted if RPC latency is too high to get a response in time
- Bitcoin data may be unavailable if Blockstream Esplora is down

## How this service works

558 pay-per-call data APIs for AI agents: Solana and EVM on-chain data, tokenized stocks, DeFi, Hyperliquid, economy and official statistics, FX, validation, web and developer tools. Pay in USDC via x402.

## Output

A JSON object with a timestamp, data source attribution, an array of per-network objects (each with network name, latest block number, seconds since last block, gas price in gwei, RPC latency in ms, and status: ok/slow/halted), a boolean `all_normal` flag, and a `with_issues` array listing any networks currently not operating normally.
