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 delx-commerce-liquidation-cascade-steps-calculator-13a7e009 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: I entered a long position at $1500 with 10x leverage and a 0.5% maintenance margin — can you calculate a 5-step liquidation cascade so I can see how my liq price shifts as leverage steps down?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a structured, multi-step breakdown of liquidation prices across decreasing leverage levels for a long futures or perpetual position. It is ideal for risk dashboards, trading bots setting cascaded stop-alerts, or agents helping users understand deleverage risk without requiring signup or subscription.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required fields (entry, steps, leverage, maintenance) return a 400 error
- Invalid leverage values (e.g. zero or negative) may cause computation errors
- Non-integer step counts may be rejected or truncated
- Payment failure via x402 protocol returns a 402 response before computation occurs

## How this service works

Pay-per-result APIs for agents. No signup. Exact price. Verifiable delivery. USDC on Base + Solana via x402.

## Output

Returns a JSON array of cascade steps, each containing the step index, the effective leverage at that step, and the approximate liquidation price for a long position. The schema tag 'delx/util-liq-cascade-steps/v1' is included for verifiability.
