Check Tron gas/resource status for any address via x402-paid API call
What it does
This endpoint, hosted by Erudite Intelligence LLC on the EruditePay x402 Bridge, provides Tron blockchain intelligence — specifically gas and resource status lookups for a given Tron address. It accepts a POST request with a JSON body containing a blockchain network identifier (e.g. "base", "ethereum", "tron") and a Tron-format address (T-prefix base58), and returns a JSON object with the result.
Payment is handled via the x402 protocol (version 2). The endpoint accepts two payment options: USDC on Base (network eip155:8453) at $0.05 per call, or USDT on Tron (network tron:728126428) at $0.05 per call. The facilitator for Base payments is Coinbase CDP; the Tron payment option settles natively. The provider is registered as a FinCEN MSB (BSA ID 31000324258137) and operates non-custodially.
Documentation beyond the x402 challenge and the landing page is sparse — the /docs path returns a 404, and the output example in the Bazaar schema extension is a generic `{"success": true, "data": {}}` stub, so the exact shape of a successful response is not fully documented. The endpoint is live and returns a proper 402 challenge on unauthenticated POST requests.
Capabilities
Use cases
- —Check available bandwidth and energy for a Tron address before submitting a transaction
- —Monitor Tron resource consumption for wallet management dashboards
- —Pre-flight validation of Tron addresses to ensure sufficient gas for token transfers
- —Automated agents that need to verify Tron account readiness before executing on-chain operations
Fit
Best for
- —Developers building Tron-integrated applications who need resource/gas checks
- —AI agents that orchestrate cross-chain transactions and need Tron pre-flight data
- —Wallet services monitoring Tron account health
Not for
- —Querying non-Tron blockchains for gas status (endpoint is Tron-specific)
- —Free or high-volume bulk scanning — each call costs $0.05
- —Users who need detailed Tron transaction history or block explorer functionality

Quality
The endpoint is live and returns a well-formed x402 v2 challenge with clear pricing and payment options. However, documentation is very thin: the output schema example is a stub with an empty data object, /docs returns 404, and the exact fields returned on a successful call are unknown. Input schema is partially documented via the Bazaar extension.
Warnings
- —Output response shape is not documented — the example shows only {"success": true, "data": {}} with no detail on what 'data' contains
- —The /docs path returns 404; no external documentation site was reachable
- —The 'chain' input parameter's purpose is unclear — the endpoint URL already specifies Tron, yet the example body includes chain: 'base' with a Tron address, which may be inconsistent
