## 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 chainscout-narrative-intelligence-base-ethereum-749e47be
```

Example prompt: Give me a current on-chain narrative for Base and Ethereum — I want to know what whales are moving, which tokens are trending, and what the DeFi TVL looks like right now.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs a quick, pre-synthesized narrative of on-chain conditions on Base and/or Ethereum — particularly whale movements, trending tokens, and DeFi TVL — without needing to query raw blockchain data or multiple analytics APIs separately. Best for agents that need a daily or real-time market intelligence briefing in human-readable form.

## Known failure modes

- Chain data unavailable or stale — upstream indexer lag may produce outdated TVL or transfer data
- Payment failure — x402 micropayment of $0.05 USDC not confirmed, returns 402 Payment Required
- Rate limiting — too many requests in a short window returns 429 Too Many Requests
- Service downtime — chainscout.lonestaroracle.xyz unreachable returns 503 or connection error

## How this service works

On-chain intelligence — whale transfers trending tokens DeFi TVL on Base and Ethereum

## Output

A narrative summary of on-chain intelligence covering recent large whale token transfers, currently trending tokens, and DeFi total value locked (TVL) figures for both the Base and Ethereum networks.
