## 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 vibe-springs-base-gas-price-oracle-a6c72323
```

Example prompt: What's the current Ethereum gas price in GWEI right now, including the base fee and latest block details?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs real-time Ethereum gas price data (GWEI) and block base fee for transaction cost estimation, DeFi workflows, or on-chain monitoring, especially when operating in a pay-per-query micropayment (x402) context rather than maintaining a subscription to a full node provider.

## Known failure modes

- Upstream node unavailable: returns 5xx error if the underlying gas price data source is unreachable
- Network congestion or data staleness: may return slightly delayed block data during high chain activity
- Payment failure: returns 402 Payment Required if x402 micropayment of $0.001 USDC is not included

## How this service works

Base network real-time gas price oracle. Returns block base fee, current gas price in GWEI, and network block details.

## Output

Returns the current Ethereum base network gas price in GWEI, the block base fee, and associated network block details such as block number — all reflecting real-time chain state.
