## 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 axon-smart-contract-explainer-0c4052da
```

Example prompt: Can you explain what this smart contract does — 0x1f9840a85d5aF5bf1D1762F925BDADdC4201F984? I want to know its purpose, how it works, and whether it's verified.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a human-readable, AI-generated explanation of a specific smart contract by address — particularly useful for quickly auditing unfamiliar DeFi contracts, token contracts, or DAO governance contracts without manually reading Solidity code.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed contract address returns an error
- Contract not deployed at the given address returns no results
- Unverified contracts may yield incomplete or inferred explanations
- Network timeout or x402 payment failure blocks the request
- Non-Ethereum addresses or wrong chain addresses may fail to resolve

## How this service works

Axon provides AI-powered crypto intelligence endpoints covering token research, market analysis, contract auditing, sentiment tracking, news summarization, portfolio advice, deep research, text translation, language detection, SEO content generation, and contract explanation. All analytical endpoints require x402 micropayment on Base.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the contract address, a boolean indicating whether the contract is verified on-chain, and a plain-English explanation of the contract's purpose, functions, and behavior.
