## 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 alphapulse-vaults-defi-copy-trading-vault-discovery-c8f81098
```

Example prompt: Show me the top DeFi copy trading vaults on Hyperliquid and GMX right now — I want ones with strong APR, decent TVL, and a low-to-medium risk profile, and make sure their smart contracts have been assessed.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a user wants to discover and evaluate DeFi on-chain copy trading vaults specifically on perpetuals and derivatives protocols (Hyperliquid, GMX, dYdX, Gains Network) with TVL, APR, and smart contract risk context. Prefer this over the AlphaPulse copy endpoint (which covers centralized platforms like eToro, ZuluTrade) when the user explicitly wants decentralized, on-chain vault-based copy trading.

## Known failure modes

- No vaults match the specified filter criteria — returns empty result set
- Protocol data temporarily unavailable due to on-chain or indexer downtime
- Payment not processed — 402 response requiring x402 USDC payment before data is returned
- Invalid filter parameters — returns 400 with parameter validation error
- Rate limiting if called too frequently without payment
