## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability api-web3identity-com-9a46ed44
```

Example prompt: What's the current total value locked in Aave across all chains? Pull it from DefiLlama.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you specifically need Aave TVL data sourced from DefiLlama, especially in agents tracking DeFi protocol health, comparing lending protocol sizes, or monitoring liquidity trends. Prefer this over building a direct DefiLlama integration when you want a pay-per-call, low-setup option with no API key required.

## Known failure modes

- DefiLlama API unavailable — upstream data source outage returns an error
- Protocol not found or slug mismatch — returns empty or error response
- Stale data if DefiLlama cache has not refreshed — TVL may lag real-time on-chain state
- Payment failure (x402) — call rejected if $0.01 USDC payment is not provided
