## 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 b20-token-authenticity-verifier-067ccb8f
```

Example prompt: Can you check if the token at address 0xB200000000000000000000000000000000000001 is a genuine B20 precompile or a fake lookalike scam?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint as the mandatory first step before trusting any B20 token data — especially before executing trades, approvals, or transfers involving a token at a 0xB200… vanity address. It is the only check that queries the authoritative B20Factory precompile, which cannot be spoofed, making it more reliable than reading the token's own state.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid address parameter returns an error
- Non-Base network addresses may return not_b20 or an error
- Malformed address string (non-hex, wrong length) causes request failure
- Service unavailability or payment failure blocks the check

## How this service works

🆕 Run FIRST on any 'B20'. A scammer can deploy a normal contract at a vanity 0xB200… address and fake the whole B20 read surface — the B20Factory precompile is the one authority that can't be spoofed. Verifies factory registration + bytecode absence (real B20s are chain-native precompiles with no code). verdict: genuine / fake_lookalike / not_b20. The 2-cent check that keeps every other B20 answer honest.

## Output

Returns a verdict of 'genuine', 'fake_lookalike', or 'not_b20', indicating whether the queried address is a real chain-native B20 precompile registered with the B20Factory, a spoofed contract mimicking the B20 interface, or simply not a B20 token at all.
