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-c398ef00 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Design a complete token utility framework for my DeFi lending protocol — include governance voting rights, staking benefits for fee discounts, payment mechanics for borrowing fees, and at least two economic sinks like token burns or locked collateral to create sustainable long-term demand.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to design or evaluate the utility layer of a token — specifically covering use cases, governance rights, staking mechanics, payment flows, and demand-side sinks. It is distinct from supply/emission design endpoints (handled by sibling services) and focuses purely on the demand-side utility architecture that makes a token functionally valuable within its ecosystem.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or vague message input results in generic non-actionable output
- Missing protocol context leads to overly generic utility recommendations
- Network timeout on Gemini Pro backend returns success:false with no response
- Insufficient USDC balance causes x402 payment failure before request is processed
- Overly broad prompts may return incomplete utility frameworks requiring follow-up queries

## How this service works

Define token use cases, governance rights, staking utility, payment mechanics, and economic sinks to create sustainable demand

## Output

Returns a detailed AI-generated response outlining token use cases, governance rights structures, staking utility mechanisms, payment mechanics, and economic sink designs tailored to the described protocol, along with sustainability analysis for token demand.
