## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability adh-defi-protocol-ranking-5cda6e0c
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest DeFi and CEX protocol rankings by TVL — I want to see the top 200 protocols, their 1-day and 7-day TVL changes, and which chains they're on.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a ranked, normalized view of the DeFi and CEX protocol landscape by TVL, with multi-chain coverage and short-term momentum signals (1d/7d). Prefer it over raw DeFiLlama API calls when you want pre-processed, agent-ready intelligence with provenance metadata already attached. Ideal for due diligence workflows, macro regime detection, or building DeFi market summaries inside an AI agent context.

## Known failure modes

- Payment failure via x402 if USDC balance is insufficient or wallet not configured
- Stale data if upstream DeFiLlama source has not refreshed recently
- Empty or partial result set if upstream API is temporarily unavailable
- Response may contain duplicate entries as seen in example schema
