Fetch the latest Tron block via x402 micropayment — pay per call in USDC (Base) or USDT (Tron).
What it does
This endpoint returns the latest block data from the Tron blockchain. It is an x402-gated API operated by Erudite Intelligence LLC and accessible at `https://bridge.eruditepay.com/v1/tron/block/latest`. Each call costs 10,000 base units of either USDC on Base (eip155:8453) or USDT on Tron (tron:728126428), which equals $0.01 USD per request (both tokens use 6 decimals). The endpoint accepts a POST with a JSON body containing a `chain` field and an optional Tron `address` field.
The provider, EruditePay, is primarily an x402 payment facilitator supporting 20 blockchains, but also exposes paid data-intelligence endpoints like this one. The x402 v2 challenge was successfully captured, confirming the endpoint is live. The response schema indicates a JSON object with `success` (boolean) and `data` (object), though the exact fields inside `data` are not documented — the example in the bazaar extension shows an empty object placeholder. No OpenAPI spec or dedicated documentation page was found for this specific data endpoint (the /docs path returns a 404), so the precise structure of the block data returned is unknown.
EruditePay is a FinCEN-registered MSB (BSA ID 31000324258137) and operates non-custodially, routing settlement directly. The facilitator for the Base/USDC payment option is Coinbase CDP (`https://api.cdp.coinbase.com/platform/v2/x402`). The Tron/USDT option does not list an external facilitator.
Capabilities
Use cases
- —Fetching the most recent Tron block for chain-monitoring dashboards
- —Agents that need current Tron block height to verify transaction finality
- —Automated trading bots checking Tron network state before submitting transactions
- —Indexers polling for new Tron blocks in near-real-time
Fit
Best for
- —AI agents needing on-demand Tron block data with no API key signup
- —Developers who prefer pay-per-call micropayments over monthly subscriptions
- —Applications already integrated with x402 payment flow
Not for
- —High-frequency polling where $0.01/call adds up quickly — a full Tron node or free RPC would be cheaper
- —Users needing historical block ranges or full transaction-level data (only latest block is served)
- —Non-Tron blockchain data needs

Quality
The x402 challenge is live and well-formed with clear pricing, but there is no OpenAPI spec, no dedicated documentation for this data endpoint, and the example response contains only an empty data object. The actual block data schema is unknown, making integration speculative.
Warnings
- —No OpenAPI or dedicated docs found for this data endpoint — /docs returns 404
- —The example output in the bazaar extension shows an empty data object; actual response fields are undocumented
- —The request body schema includes an 'address' field whose purpose for a 'latest block' endpoint is unclear — may be ignored or may filter results
- —Tron network identifier in the challenge is 'tron:728126428' rather than the more common 'tron:mainnet'; ensure your x402 client handles this
