## 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 blockrun-ai-defillama-protocol-tvl-detail-8abc7cb5
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the current TVL and full breakdown for MakerDAO from DeFiLlama — I want to see how the value is distributed across chains and categories?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need granular, per-protocol TVL data including chain-by-chain and category breakdowns for a specific DeFi protocol. Prefer this over aggregate endpoints when the user wants to drill into a single protocol rather than compare rankings across many protocols. Ideal when the protocol slug is known (e.g. 'aave', 'makerdao', 'uniswap').

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown protocol slug returns empty data or 404-equivalent error
- Protocol slug misspelled results in no match
- Upstream DeFiLlama data unavailability causes stale or missing response
- Payment failure (x402) blocks the request before data is returned

## How this service works

Detailed TVL + breakdown for a single protocol. Pass slug as `/v1/defillama/protocol/{slug}` (e.g. `aave`, `uniswap`).

## Output

A JSON object containing the protocol's total TVL figure along with detailed breakdowns by chain, category, and sub-protocol, sourced from DeFiLlama's dataset. Includes historical context and allocation details for the requested protocol slug.
