# Xerxes Ethereum Network Info Summary

> Xerxes Ethereum Network Info Summary is a paid API for AI agents from ari001.tailb4ac3a.ts.net, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-11).

Returns a snapshot of Ethereum mainnet network state including current block number, gas price, chain ID, and block statistics.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://ari001.tailb4ac3a.ts.net/v1/ventures/ethereum_rpc_api/network_info_summary?utm_source=zero.xyz
- Price: $0.002/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-10-11
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/xerxes-ethereum-network-info-summary-968ca624
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_PBcBqGSKRPhPNBTiepeNL

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 xerxes-ethereum-network-info-summary-968ca624
```

Example prompt: What's the current Ethereum block number, gas price, and base fee right now?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs a quick, single-call overview of current Ethereum network conditions — block height, gas pricing, and block stats — without needing to compose multiple eth_* RPC calls. Prefer this over raw RPC endpoints when you need multiple network stats in one round-trip.

## Known failure modes

- RPC node unavailable — returns ok:false with error message
- Network timeout if Ethereum node is unresponsive
- Stale data if upstream node is behind chain head

## How this service works

Returns a summary of Ethereum network information: current block number, gas price, chain ID, and other basic network stats.

## Output

A JSON object with ok (boolean), and a result object containing: chain_id (integer), block_number (integer), gas_price_wei (integer), block_gas_used (integer), block_gas_limit (integer), block_timestamp (unix integer), block_transactions (integer), and base_fee_per_gas_wei (integer). On failure, ok is false and an error string is present.
