How this service works
Check the latest or current Base Mainnet block number. Use this to get the live Base block height.
Output
Returns a JSON object with a boolean 'ok' field, a 'network' string (eip155:8453), and a 'block' object containing the current block 'number' as an integer and 'number_hex' as a 0x-prefixed hexadecimal string.
Example use cases
Real-time chain sync check
“Can you grab the current Base Mainnet block number so I can verify my indexer is fully synced?”
Onchain timestamp anchoring
“What block is Base on right now? I need the block number to anchor a time-sensitive onchain event I'm recording.”
Block height monitoring alert
“Check the current Base block number and let me know if it's past block 20000000 yet.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://blockchain-api.x402-chain-tools.workers.dev/chain/blockWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a lightweight, pay-per-call lookup of the current Base Mainnet block height without setting up your own RPC node. Ideal for agents that need to occasionally anchor onchain time, check sync status, or gate logic on block progression without a full blockchain integration.
Side effects
- RPC node unavailable or rate-limited — may return a non-ok response or timeout
- Payment not processed — endpoint requires $0.001 USDC via x402 protocol, missing payment causes 402 rejection
- Network connectivity issues with Cloudflare Worker — transient 5xx errors possible
