## 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 defi-protocol-fees-dex-volume-leaderboard-fb7002c9
```

Example prompt: Show me the top 20 DeFi protocols ranked by fees generated in the last 24 hours, and also pull up the top DEX trading volume leaderboard sorted by 7-day volume.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need ranked, up-to-date leaderboard data for DeFi protocol fees or DEX trading volumes sourced from DefiLlama, with multi-timeframe breakdowns (24h/7d/30d/1y) in a single call. Prefer this over building your own DefiLlama integration when you want pay-per-call access without an API key.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid 'kind' value (not 'fees' or 'dexs') returns an error
- Invalid 'sort' value (not 'total24h', 'total7d', 'total30d') returns an error
- Limit outside range 1–100 returns a validation error
- Payment not included or insufficient USDC triggers 402 response
- DefiLlama upstream unavailability may cause stale or missing data

## How this service works

Protocol fees/revenue or DEX trading volume leaderboards (via DefiLlama, free/keyless). kind=fees ranks protocols by fees generated; kind=dexs ranks DEXes by trading volume. Each row has 24h/7d/30d/1y totals + 1-month change, plus catalog totals. Sort by total24h/7d/30d. The protocol-economics layer.

## Output

A ranked list of DeFi protocols or DEXes with their fee/volume figures across 24h, 7d, 30d, and 1y timeframes, plus a 1-month percentage change and aggregate catalog totals. Each row represents one protocol or exchange with its numeric fee or volume metrics.
