## 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-yields-api-via-kiteendpoints-70197cee -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What are the top DeFi yield opportunities right now — show me pools with the highest APY across major protocols like Aave, Curve, and Uniswap, including their TVL and which chain they're on.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need broad DeFi yield data aggregated across many protocols and chains via DeFiLlama, especially in an agent workflow that requires pay-per-request micro-payments via USDC on Base. Prefer this over calling DeFiLlama directly when you need a single authenticated API hub without managing separate API keys.

## Known failure modes

- DeFiLlama API unavailability causing empty or error response
- Stale data if DeFiLlama cache is not refreshed
- No results if filtering by an unsupported or misspelled protocol/chain
- Generic error wrapper with little debugging detail due to thin proxy layer
- Rate limiting or payment failure returning 402 or 429 status

## How this service works

## Output

Returns a list of DeFi yield/pool data sourced from DeFiLlama, including pool identifiers, protocol names, chains, APY percentages, and total value locked (TVL) for liquidity and lending pools across the DeFi ecosystem.
