## 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-5f9abe90
```

Example prompt: Can you explain what this smart contract does — 0x1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef12345678 — in plain English, and tell me if it's verified?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, AI-generated plain-language explanation of a specific smart contract by address — especially useful for auditing unfamiliar DeFi contracts, explaining contract logic to non-technical users, or verifying what a contract does before interacting with it. Prefer this over manual Etherscan reads when you want a summarized, human-readable interpretation rather than raw source code.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed contract address returns an error
- Unverified contract with no source code may yield limited or no explanation
- Network timeout if blockchain node is slow to respond
- x402 micropayment failure if wallet has insufficient USDC balance on Base
- Contract address not found on supported chain returns 404 or empty result

## 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

A JSON object containing the queried contract address, a boolean indicating whether the contract is verified on-chain, and an AI-generated plain-language explanation of what the contract does and how it works.
