## 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 dexter-demo-tick-endpoint-90997d39 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Call the Dexter demo tick endpoint on x402 so I can see a live micropayment-gated response and confirm my USDC-on-Solana payment flow is working end to end.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you want to test or demonstrate the x402 micropayment protocol on Solana without needing a production-grade feature. It is the canonical minimal example of a USDC-gated API call on the Dexter platform, ideal for integration testing, onboarding demos, or proof-of-concept flows.

## Known failure modes

- Insufficient USDC balance — payment cannot be completed
- Invalid or missing x402 payment header — 402 Payment Required returned
- Solana network congestion causing payment confirmation delays
- Wallet not authorized or misconfigured — authentication failure
- Endpoint temporarily unavailable — 503 Service Unavailable

## How this service works
