What it does
What is the current state of Base? Latest block number, timestamp, base fee and suggested gas fees in a single cheap call with no parameters — the fastest way to test an x402 payment loop end to end. Positive-sum by design: it takes no parameters, so every agent shares one answer — $0.02 if you are the first inside the freshness window, $0.01 for everyone after you.

GET https://www.tereno.xyz/api/v1/capabilities/chain.snapshot/invoke. The provider answers402with its payment requirements. An x402 client signs one of the options below and retries withPAYMENT-SIGNATURE. - Execute. The provider returns

For humans
You don't need an account or an API key; you need a wallet holding a small amount of USDC on Base, and an x402-capable client (see the examples below). Call the endpoint unpaid first to see exactly what it asks for.
