DeFi protocol detail lookup on Base, paid per-call via x402 in USDC or USDT.
What it does
This endpoint returns detailed information about a specified DeFi protocol (e.g., Aave) on the Base network. It is operated by Erudite Intelligence LLC under the brand "Crypto data intelligence" and is gated behind the x402 payment protocol (v2). Callers POST a JSON body containing a `protocol` field (a DeFi protocol name or address) and receive structured JSON data about that protocol.
Payment is required per call at a cost of 10,000 base units. Two payment rails are accepted: USDC on Base (eip155:8453) at 0.01 USDC, and Tether USDT on Tron (tron:728126428) at 0.01 USDT. Both use 6-decimal tokens, so the effective price is one US cent per request. Settlement is facilitated through the EruditePay x402 Bridge, with Coinbase CDP as the facilitator for the Base rail.
Documentation beyond the x402 challenge and the Bazaar schema extension is sparse. The endpoint's output schema only specifies `{"success": true, "data": {}}` as an example, so the exact shape of the returned protocol detail object is unknown. The provider's landing page focuses on the Bridge facilitator service rather than this specific data endpoint. No OpenAPI spec or dedicated docs page was found.
Capabilities
Use cases
- —Retrieve detailed information about a specific DeFi protocol by name or address
- —Agent-driven DeFi research where per-call micropayments replace API keys
- —Automated portfolio or risk dashboards that need protocol-level metadata
Fit
Best for
- —AI agents needing on-demand DeFi protocol metadata without subscription commitments
- —Developers building DeFi dashboards who want pay-per-call pricing
- —Automated workflows that query protocol details infrequently
Not for
- —High-volume bulk data ingestion (at $0.01/call costs add up quickly)
- —Users who need detailed response schema documentation before integrating
- —Non-crypto or non-DeFi data needs

Quality
The endpoint is live (402 challenge captured) with a clear Bazaar schema extension showing input/output structure, but the output example is an empty object, no OpenAPI spec exists, and no dedicated documentation was found. The actual data returned is unknown.
Warnings
- —No dedicated documentation page found (docs, api, pricing paths all return 404-like errors)
- —Output schema example is an empty object — actual response shape is undocumented
- —Provider landing page describes the x402 Bridge facilitator, not this data endpoint specifically
