# Degenscan Intel: Carry Spread for HIP-3 Asset

> Degenscan Intel: Carry Spread for HIP-3 Asset is a paid API for AI agents from intel.degenscan.io, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-17).

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 degenscan-intel-carry-spread-for-hip-3-asset-02a14425
```

Example prompt: What's the current carry spread for NBIS across Hyperliquid HIP-3 dexes — give me each leg's funding APR now and the 14-day average, plus the overall basis and spread APR.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need per-leg and aggregate carry spread data for a specific asset that trades on multiple Hyperliquid HIP-3 DEXes, particularly for identifying funding arbitrage or carry trade setups. Prefer it over the top-spreads endpoint when you already know the specific asset you want to analyse and need detailed leg-by-leg breakdown including basis and 14-day history.

## Known failure modes

- HTTP 402 returned if no X-API-KEY or X-Free-Trial header is present and payment is not made via x402
- Invalid or unknown base ticker yields empty or error response
- Rate limit exceeded (over 100 calls/day/IP on free trial) returns 429
- Asset not listed on 2+ HIP-3 dexes may return empty legs array or error
- Network or upstream data latency may cause stale as-of timestamp

## How this service works

Cross-asset market event intelligence for AI trading agents. Priced routes return HTTP 402 with x402 v2 payment requirements (USDC on Base) unless X-API-KEY is sent or the free trial header X-Free-Trial: 1 is present (100 calls/day/IP). Information and analytics only — not investment advice.

## Output

A JSON object containing the base ticker, an array of legs each with DEX name, coin identifier, current funding APR, and 14-day funding APR, plus aggregate fields: basis percentage, spread APR now, 14-day spread APR, and an as-of timestamp.
