## 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 bitcoin-mining-pool-distribution-analytics-646d103c -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you show me Bitcoin mining pool distribution for the last 144 blocks — I want to see each pool's share percentage and estimated hashrate, plus what percentage of the block reward is coming from fees right now?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need near-real-time Bitcoin mining pool analytics including hashrate distribution, fee pressure trends, and block interval statistics derived from actual on-chain data. It is ideal for monitoring mining centralization risk, tracking fee revenue as a portion of miner income, or estimating network hashrate without running a full node. Prefer this over generic blockchain explorers when you need structured, pre-aggregated pool-level statistics in a single API call.

## Known failure modes

- blocks parameter outside 10-144 range returns validation error
- Blockstream Esplora upstream unavailability causes failure
- Unknown pools may be grouped under an 'Unknown' category affecting accuracy
- Very recent blocks may have incomplete data if not yet confirmed

## How this service works

558 pay-per-call data APIs for AI agents: Solana and EVM on-chain data, tokenized stocks, DeFi, Hyperliquid, economy and official statistics, FX, validation, web and developer tools. Pay in USDC via x402.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with: the block height range analyzed, number of blocks analyzed, current subsidy in BTC, average fees in BTC, average total block reward, fees as a percentage of the reward, average block interval in minutes, estimated total network hashrate in EH/s, and an array of per-pool entries each containing pool name, number of blocks mined, share percentage, last block height mined, and estimated hashrate in EH/s. Source attribution (Blockstream Esplora with coinbase tag identification) is included.
