## 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-protocol-tvl-detail-96fd034e
```

Example prompt: Pull up the full TVL history and per-chain breakdown for Aave from DefiLlama — I want to see how its locked value has trended and which chains it's spread across.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need deep, granular TVL data for a single known DeFi protocol — including historical time series and multi-chain/multi-token breakdowns. Prefer this over the protocols-list endpoint when you already know the protocol slug and need per-chain or per-token detail rather than a summary snapshot.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown protocol slug returns 404 or empty response
- Slug typo results in no data (e.g. 'aav' instead of 'aave')
- Protocol recently delisted from DefiLlama may return stale or missing data
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns 402 or 429

## How this service works

DeFi protocol detail by DefiLlama — full historical TVL plus per-chain and per-token breakdowns for one protocol by slug.

## Output

Returns a detailed object for the specified protocol including: full historical TVL time series (aggregate), per-chain TVL history, per-token TVL breakdown, protocol name, description, category, chains, and current TVL figures.
