Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 crypto-402box-io-61e0fa39 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Design a staking rewards program for our new DeFi protocol: we want to offer 20% APY initially with a 2-year decay curve that tapers down to 5%, allocating 15% of total supply to liquidity mining emissions, and model whether this is sustainable given a $10M TVL target.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when designing or auditing DeFi protocol incentive mechanics, specifically staking rewards, liquidity mining emissions, and reward decay modeling. Prefer this over generic AI endpoints when you need domain-specific tokenomics reasoning focused on yield and incentive sustainability.

## Known failure modes

- Vague or under-specified prompt returns generic advice without tailored numbers
- Missing TVL or supply parameters leads to assumptions in the model
- Payment failure (402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Request timeout if prompt is extremely complex
- Success=false in response body if agent encounters an internal error

## How this service works

Design staking rewards, liquidity mining emissions, reward decay curves, and incentive program sustainability modeling

## Output

A detailed text response from Gemini Pro describing the designed incentive structure, including staking reward rates, emission schedules, reward decay curves, sustainability projections, and recommendations for incentive program parameters.
