## 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-ticker-canonicalize-5c1724f1 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you canonicalize the ticker symbol 'BTC-USDT' and split it into its base and quote parts for me?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a lightweight, stateless, deterministic transformation of raw ticker strings — especially useful in signal preprocessing pipelines where you control the input data and don't need a live market feed. Ideal for agents cleaning user-supplied tickers, normalizing data from multiple exchanges, or preparing inputs for downstream computation without licensing costs.

## Known failure modes

- Malformed or empty ticker string may result in an error or unparseable output
- Ambiguous tickers without standard separators may not split cleanly
- Unsupported or highly non-standard ticker formats may return a best-effort result with low confidence
- x402 payment failure or insufficient USDC balance will block the request

## How this service works

Canonicalize a ticker symbol and split common base/quote separators — call when cleaning ticker symbols and splitting base/quote. Use on caller-supplied ticks/returns when agents need signal prep without a licensed live market feed (ottoai-class demand, first-party transform). Returns deterministic machine-readable JSON for $0.003 USDC via x402 on Base. Execution is first-party, local-only, stateless, and memory-only with no paid upstream, no input retention, and no claim of live chain tip, web…

## Output

Returns deterministic machine-readable JSON containing the canonicalized ticker symbol, the identified base asset, the identified quote asset, and the detected separator — all derived locally without any live market feed or external data lookup
