## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability agentic-clawbots-org-0b7506e7 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: I'm building a dapp on Base and want to know what grants, hackathons, accelerators, or retro-funding rounds are currently open — show me a ranked list with deadlines and how much each one pays out.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent or builder needs a single call to discover all currently open Base ecosystem funding opportunities with deadlines and amounts, rather than manually searching multiple grant pages, hackathon sites, or ecosystem dashboards. Ideal for deadline-driven workflows where recency and ranking matter.

## Known failure modes

- No open funding programs found — all known programs may be closed or expired
- Stale entries returned when source websites have not been re-crawled recently, flagged via last_verified_at
- Network or upstream data source unavailability causing empty or partial results
- Payment failure via x402 protocol resulting in 402 response before data is returned
- Schema mismatch if body is malformed or required fields are missing

## How this service works

Returns a ranked, deadline-aware list of open Base ecosystem funding programs (grants, accelerators, hackathons, retro-funding). Each result cites source_url, deadline, funding_range_usd, and last_verified_at. Stale entries are flagged. Designed for agents and builders shipping on Base who need a single call to surface the next applicable funding deadline.

## Output

A ranked list of open Base ecosystem funding programs, each entry including the program name, source URL, application deadline, funding range in USD, last verified timestamp, and a staleness flag if the data may be outdated. Results are ordered by deadline urgency to surface the most time-sensitive opportunities first.
