## 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`):

Example prompt: Can you pull up the current TVL rankings for DeFi protocols — I want to see which ones are at the top right now?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a ranked, comparative view of DeFi protocols by TVL rather than data on a single protocol. It is particularly useful for market overview, competitive analysis, or identifying dominant protocols. Prefer this over single-protocol endpoints when the user wants a leaderboard or ranking perspective.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or stale data if upstream on-chain data sources are unavailable
- Rate limiting or payment failure resulting in 402 response
- Malformed request body causing 400 error
- Protocol or chain filter with no matching results returning empty array
- Service downtime on Vercel deployment causing 503
