Chain Nonce

by Account nonce in Onchain & crypto

x402 APIPassing, checked 22 min ago

The transaction count of an account, which is the nonce its next transaction must carry. Ask for block "pending" to include transactions already in the mempool, which is what you want before signing; the default "latest" counts only mined transactions. Returns the count as a decimal string and as hex. EVM chains: ethereum, base, polygon, arbitrum, optimism.

Call it from code

The curl command shows the payment challenge. The JavaScript and Python versions pay and call, and never pay more than $0.001.

curl: see the payment challenge
# bash or zsh: see the payment challenge. Nothing is charged.
curl -sS -g -i 'https://agent402.tools/api/chain/nonce?address=0xaBF4FAbd7c416fB67202E5f9002389Fc75e2a9D0&network=base'

# x402 v2 sends the challenge base64-encoded in the PAYMENT-REQUIRED header (v1 sends it in the body).
# To read the header:
curl -sS -g -o /dev/null -D - 'https://agent402.tools/api/chain/nonce?address=0xaBF4FAbd7c416fB67202E5f9002389Fc75e2a9D0&network=base' \
