## 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 btc-structural-scarcity-intelligence-edge-agents-e937add5
```

Example prompt: Pull me the latest structural scarcity intelligence report on Bitcoin from Edge Agents — I need the evidence summary, confidence level, and any contradictions flagged, so I can brief the board on BTC supply dynamics.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a signed, provenance-tracked, evidence-bounded intelligence report on Bitcoin's structural scarcity specifically — not generic price data or sentiment. Best for business leaders, autonomous agents, and strategy teams that need defensible, sourced analysis with explicit contradiction tracking and limitations disclosure. Prefer over generic crypto data APIs when accountability and verifiability of the reasoning chain matter.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or insufficient USDC — returns HTTP 402 with payment required response
- Upstream data source unavailable — report may note reduced coverage or freshness in limitations field
- Stale or incomplete evidence — report explicitly states coverage gaps rather than fabricating data
- Invalid request structure — returns error if required parameters are malformed

## How this service works

Premium evidence-gated Bitcoin scarcity framework combining eligible ETF absorption, market activity, macro liquidity and derivatives context while explicitly withholding exchange-supply, holder and miner factors that lack approved evidence. Purpose: Measure supported Bitcoin scarcity pressure without fabricating exchange balances, holder conviction, whale distribution or miner inventory data. 15-minute freshness target; missing evidence is reported explicitly rather than invented.

## Output

A structured JSON report containing: quality status and confidence level, an analysis block with scarcity-related intents (liquidity, supply, ETF, adoption), an evidence summary with assets covered and policy, provenance with issuer identity and signing status, a generatedAt timestamp, schema version, limitations disclosure, and a disclaimer that this is general market research and not investment advice.
