# x402-defi-intel Gas Price Oracle

> x402-defi-intel Gas Price Oracle is a paid API for AI agents from cryptodefidataintel-production.up.railway.app, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-13).

Returns real-time cross-chain gas prices, base fees, and cost trend signals to help agents choose the cheapest chain for transaction execution.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://cryptodefidataintel-production.up.railway.app/api/gas
- Price: $0.001/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-13

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 x402-defi-intel-gas-price-oracle-ecfe3853
```

Example prompt: What are the current gas prices across all chains — which one is cheapest right now, and is the trend going up or down?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to select the optimal chain for a DeFi transaction based on cost, monitor gas conditions before executing swaps or bridges, or provide users with real-time cross-chain gas comparisons. Prefer over generic block explorer APIs because it returns pre-analyzed trend signals and cheapest-chain recommendations in a single call.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid chain identifier returns no matching data
- RPC node unavailability may cause stale or missing data for a specific chain
- Confidence score below threshold may indicate unreliable gas estimates
- Network congestion may cause rapid changes that make snapshot data quickly outdated

## How this service works

Crypto-agent toolkit: cross-chain DeFi intelligence + execution helpers + retrieval for agents. 16 endpoints: funding, open interest, long/short, token-safety, yield, prices, gas, tx-simulate, approval-check, bridge-quote, governance-search, lending, liquidations, protocol-search, swap-quote, token-resolve. Pay-per-call via x402.

## Output

Returns an array of chain-level gas data including base fee in Gwei, gas price in Gwei, and trend direction (flat/rising/falling), plus a human-readable insight naming the cheapest chain, a signal string, data sources, and a confidence score.
