Current Base mainnet gas price read live from JSON-RPC, in both wei and gwei. Use this to estimate the cost of a Base transaction before submitting it. Costs $0.005 USDC per call via x402 on Base; an unpaid call returns the payment challenge instead of data, and a call that returns no data is never settled so it costs nothing. Equivalent HTTP route: GET /gas.
