Blockchain network statistics for Base and other chains, paid per-call via x402 in USDC or USDT.
What it does
This endpoint, operated by Erudite Intelligence LLC, returns network statistics for a specified blockchain (e.g., Base). It is an x402-gated POST endpoint that charges $0.01 per call, payable in USDC on Base (eip155:8453) or USDT on Tron (tron:728126428). The payment is facilitated through the EruditePay x402 Bridge, which supports 20 blockchains and settles via the Coinbase CDP facilitator or directly.
The request body accepts a JSON object with a "chain" field specifying the blockchain network to query. The response returns a JSON object with a "success" boolean and a "data" object containing the network stats. The exact contents of the data object are not documented in the available material — the example output shows an empty object placeholder, so the precise fields returned are unknown.
The endpoint is live and returns a valid x402 v2 challenge. The provider describes the service as "Crypto data intelligence." EruditePay is a FinCEN MSB-registered entity (BSA ID 31000324258137) operating a non-custodial settlement model. Documentation at docs.eruditepay.com is referenced but the /docs path on the bridge itself returns a 404, and no OpenAPI spec was found.

Quality
The endpoint is live with a valid x402 v2 challenge and clear pricing, but the actual response schema is undocumented — the example output contains only an empty data object. No OpenAPI spec exists, and the docs link returns a 404. The exact fields returned by the network stats endpoint must be inferred.
Warnings
- —Response data schema is undocumented — the example output shows an empty object, so actual returned fields are unknown.
- —docs.eruditepay.com is referenced but /docs on the bridge returns 404; no external documentation was reachable.
- —No OpenAPI or machine-readable schema is available for this endpoint beyond the x402 bazaar extension.
- —The 'chain' parameter's accepted values are not enumerated; only 'base' is shown as an example.
