## 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 defillama-first-recorded-token-price-d52b7016
```

Example prompt: What was the very first price ever recorded for AAVE and Uniswap on DefiLlama? I need the earliest known USD price and the timestamp for each — use ethereum:0x7fc66500c84a76ad7e9c93437bfc5ac33e2ddae9 for AAVE and ethereum:0x1f9840a85d5af5bf1d1762f925bdaddc4201f984 for UNI.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need the genesis or origin price of a token — i.e., the very first price ever recorded by DefiLlama — rather than current or recent historical prices. Ideal for computing all-time returns from launch, auditing token history, or establishing when a token first appeared in DeFi price feeds. Prefer over current-price endpoints when the question is about historical origin, not present value.

## Known failure modes

- Coin identifier not found or not tracked by DefiLlama — returns empty or missing entry for that coin
- Malformed coin identifier (e.g. missing chain prefix or bad address) — likely returns an error or omits the coin
- No historical price data available for a very new or obscure token — missing entry in response
- Rate limiting or payment failure — HTTP 402 or 429 response
- Network timeout for bulk coin queries with many identifiers

## How this service works

First recorded token price by DefiLlama — the earliest known price and timestamp for one or many coins.

## Output

Returns a map of coin identifiers to their first-ever recorded price (in USD), the timestamp of that first record, token symbol, and decimals — representing the earliest data point DefiLlama has for each requested token.
