## 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-snapshot-tvl-chain-breakdown-audits-via-defillama-5927a883 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the DefiLlama snapshot for Aave — I want to see its current TVL, how it's changed over the past 1 and 7 days, what chains it's deployed on, and whether it's been audited?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a comprehensive DeFi protocol snapshot from DefiLlama — specifically TVL with short-term change deltas, per-chain breakdown, category classification, and audit status — in a single call. Prefer this over raw DefiLlama API access when operating in an x402 micropayment agent context. Not suited for historical time-series TVL data or cross-protocol comparison in bulk.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown protocol slug returns an error or empty result — use the exact DefiLlama slug (e.g. 'aave-v3' not 'aave3')
- Protocol with no DefiLlama listing returns no data
- Stale TVL data if DefiLlama upstream is lagging
- Missing audit data for newer or obscure protocols
- Network timeout or upstream DefiLlama API unavailability

## Output

Returns a structured snapshot for the requested DeFi protocol including: total TVL in USD, percentage change over 1 day and 7 days, TVL broken down by individual blockchain, the protocol's DeFi category (e.g. DEX, Lending, Liquid Staking), and any audit records associated with the protocol.
