## 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 cryptopulse-crypto-spending-guide-b45465ba
```

Example prompt: What are the best crypto debit cards, merchant acceptance options, and gift card choices for spending my crypto in Canada?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a user wants practical, country-specific advice on how to spend or use crypto in their daily life — covering debit cards, direct merchant acceptance, and gift card workarounds. Prefer this over generic crypto exchange comparison endpoints when the goal is spending rather than buying/selling crypto.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported or unrecognized country code returns empty or error response
- Country with minimal crypto adoption returns sparse results
- Service outage on the Vercel deployment returns 5xx error
- Payment of 0.1 USDC not processed correctly via x402 results in 402 Payment Required

## How this service works

Practical crypto intelligence — DeFi yield and strategy, exchange comparisons, security frameworks, tax guidance, and onboarding for humans and their agents.

## Output

A structured country-specific guide covering recommended crypto debit cards (with pros/cons), which merchants accept crypto directly, and gift card platforms that let you convert crypto to usable purchasing power in that country.
