## 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 dydx-defi-overview-tvl-protocols-stablecoins-dex-volume-fees-a4fa5172 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Give me a full DeFi overview of the dYdX chain right now — I want to see the TVL trend, which protocols are leading, stablecoin data, DEX trading volume, and fee stats.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a comprehensive, multi-metric DeFi snapshot of the dYdX chain in a single call — covering TVL, protocols, stablecoins, DEX volume, and fees simultaneously. Prefer this over manually querying DeFiLlama or other APIs for individual metrics. Best suited for dashboards, research summaries, or agent workflows that need a holistic dYdX DeFi picture without assembling data from multiple sources.

## Known failure modes

- Upstream DeFi data provider (e.g. DeFiLlama or similar) is temporarily unavailable, returning a 502 or empty response
- Payment not received or x402 payment header missing, resulting in 402 Payment Required
- dYdX chain data temporarily stale or not yet indexed, returning outdated metrics
- Network timeout if the aggregation query takes too long
