FAQPage Schema
How do I check a Base wallet balance with USD pricing?

You can query Base network gas prices and transaction status using the gas and tx commands. These fetch live network stats and inspect transaction details directly via the Base RPC, providing current fee data and execution status.

Do I need an API key to fetch Base token metadata and pricing?

No API key is required to query Base blockchain data and USD pricing. The tool operates entirely with the Python standard library, fetching token metadata and valuations via the public Base RPC and CoinGecko without external dependencies.

Can I use a custom RPC endpoint for Base network stats and whale tracking?

Yes, you can override the default connection by setting the BASE_RPC_URL environment variable to your private endpoint. This routes all wallet, whale, and network stats queries through your custom Base RPC without changing the CLI commands.

What is the best way to monitor Base network health and detect whale movements?

Using the stats and whales CLI commands is the best way to monitor Base network health and detect whale movements. Stats retrieve live network data, while whales identify large transactions, both enriched with USD valuations from CoinGecko.

How does inspecting a Base smart contract work without external dependencies?

Inspecting a Base smart contract works via the contract command, which queries bytecode and on-chain state through the Base RPC. It operates using only the Python standard library, requiring no external Web3 frameworks or API dependencies.
