## 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-defillama-protocol-tvl-detail-f2c201b6
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the detailed TVL and chain-by-chain breakdown for Lido from DeFiLlama right now?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need detailed TVL data and chain-level breakdowns for a specific DeFi protocol by its slug, especially when you want DeFiLlama-sourced data without managing a separate DeFiLlama API key. Prefer over direct DeFiLlama API when you want pay-per-call USDC billing with no subscription.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown protocol slug returns an error or empty result
- Protocol slug misspelling causes lookup failure
- DeFiLlama upstream data unavailability causes failure
- Network timeout if DeFiLlama source is slow to respond
- Payment failure if USDC balance is insufficient for the $0.005 per-call fee

## 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, TVL broken down by chain, historical TVL data points, and other protocol-level metrics sourced from DeFiLlama.
