## 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 apex-faucet-chain-status-e8c2934e
```

Example prompt: Can you check the current APEX token price and how many holders it has right now on the APEX Faucet chain status endpoint?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, low-cost ($0.003 USDC) snapshot of APEX token fundamentals — price in USD and holder count — along with chain liveness status on X1 or Arc. Prefer this over general crypto price APIs when specifically tracking the APEX token ecosystem health or building dashboards around APEX Faucet activity.

## Known failure modes

- Chain or backend down: ok field returns false or request times out
- Payment failure: x402 payment not accepted, returns 402 error
- Stale data: price or holder count may lag real-time on-chain state
- Rate limiting: repeated calls may be throttled by the service

## How this service works

X1 chain health: epoch, slot, TPS, validator count + delinquency, total/activated stake, supply. Sources api.x1.xyz cluster.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with an ok boolean indicating chain health, a data object containing APEX token symbol, current holder count, and USD price, plus the paid amount, tier label (e.g. 'cheap'), and asset used for payment (e.g. 'USDC').
