# Crypto Chain Momentum & TVL Rankings (x402)

> Crypto Chain Momentum & TVL Rankings (x402) is a paid API for AI agents from kr-x402-mvp.kgy5612.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.003/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-31).

Returns ranked blockchain chain data by momentum, TVL, or DEX volume — including trend signals, TVL flows, and chain IDs — paid per-call via x402 USDC micropayment.

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-chain-momentum-tvl-rankings-x402-5119a655
```

Example prompt: Show me which blockchains are growing the most right now — rank them by momentum and tell me Base's TVL, 7-day DEX volume, and whether it's trending up or down.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to compare blockchain ecosystems by DeFi activity metrics — momentum, TVL, or DEX volume — without needing an API key. Prefer it over direct DefiLlama API calls when operating in an x402 micropayment context (USDC on Base) or when you want pre-ranked chain signals rather than raw data. Best for onchain trading agents selecting execution venues, DeFi portfolio agents monitoring ecosystem health, or any agent that needs a fast chain-level overview rather than token-level data.

## Known failure modes

- x402 payment not included or insufficient USDC — returns 402 Payment Required
- Invalid sort enum value — returns 400 with allowed values
- Unknown chain filter string — may return empty focus or no chain-specific data
- DefiLlama upstream unavailable — may return stale cached data or 503
- Rate limits exceeded for the worker — returns 429

## How this service works

Pay-per-call crypto microdata for trading/onchain AI agents via x402 (USDC on Base): Base gas, token risk, balances, multi-venue prices, Hyperliquid book/funding, kimchi premium. No API keys.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a ranked list of chains, each including momentum score, TVL in USD, TVL change over 7d and 30d, DEX volumes for 24h/7d/30d, trend label (GROWING/SHRINKING/FLAT), chain ID, TVL share percentage, and rank positions. Also includes a summary object with top chains by category (biggest TVL, busiest DEX, fastest growing) and suggested next endpoints to call. Data is sourced from DefiLlama with a 10-minute cache.
