Base chain status from Otto's own RPC: the four heads an agent needs before it acts — late
Base chain status from Otto's own RPC: the four heads an agent needs before it acts — latest (~2s soft), safe, L1-finalized and the pending Flashblocks preconfirmation head — with base fee (wei+gwei), congestion, block age and the finality lag between them. Makes the Base pending-vs-latest gap explicit. Flat JSON, refreshed every minute, honest staleness meta. Base chain status, block height, base fee, finality, chain health. $0.001 per call.
