## 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-historical-chain-tvl-all-chains-aggregate-77a14eb6
```

Example prompt: Pull the full historical DeFi TVL time series from DefiLlama across all chains — the clean aggregate that strips out liquid staking and double counting — so I can see how total locked value has trended over time.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need the full historical aggregate DeFi TVL trend across all chains in one call, and specifically want double-counting and liquid staking excluded for a clean apples-to-apples view. Prefer this over per-chain or per-protocol endpoints when the user wants macro-level DeFi growth history rather than a specific chain or protocol breakdown.

## Known failure modes

- Upstream DefiLlama API unavailability returns an error or empty response
- Payment of $0.005 USDC not received causes 402 rejection
- Network timeout on data retrieval
- Rate limiting if called too frequently

## How this service works
