Dns Propagation
by Forest Infra in Developer tools
Check whether a DNS change has reached the configured public resolvers. Compare public DoH answers with an optional expected answer set and return complete, partial, not_observed or unknown. Scope is a fixed bounded resolver set; Forest does not claim worldwide propagation. Base mainnet USDC

}Call it from code
The curl command shows the payment challenge. The JavaScript and Python versions pay and call, and never pay more than $0.003.
