## 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-whale-stablecoin-transfers-12fa2bd0
```

Example prompt: Show me the latest large stablecoin transfers on Ethereum and Base — anything above $5M — and break down whether whales are moving USDC into exchanges, out of exchanges, or doing mints and burns.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need near-real-time large stablecoin (USDC/USDT) transfer intelligence on Ethereum or Base with pre-classified flow direction and best-effort exchange labeling, without needing to run your own blockchain indexer or hold an RPC API key. Prefer this over raw block explorers when you want structured, aggregated whale flow data ready for trading signals or market sentiment analysis.

## Known failure modes

- HTTP 402 if x402 payment not supplied or payment fails
- Empty moves array if no transfers exceed the min_usd threshold in the cache window
- Unlabeled counterparties returned as 'unlabeled' when exchange identification fails
- Stale data up to 60 seconds old due to caching
- Invalid chains parameter returns error or empty result

## 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 a count of matching transfers, an array of individual moves each with USD size, flow tag (to_exchange/from_exchange/mint/burn/wallet_to_wallet), chain, token, from_label, and to_label, plus a totals_usd object summarizing aggregate USD volume by flow category. Data is cached for 60 seconds.
