# Edge Agents DeFi Protocol TVL Monitor

> Edge Agents DeFi Protocol TVL Monitor is a paid API for AI agents from pay.edge-agents.ai, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns evidence-backed, live Total Value Locked (TVL) monitoring data for DeFi protocols with confidence scoring and source provenance.

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 edge-agents-defi-protocol-tvl-monitor-d46ad686
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest evidence-backed TVL monitor report for DeFi protocols — I need the confidence rating, risk and momentum intents, and source provenance included.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a structured, confidence-rated, and cryptographically signed TVL intelligence report for DeFi protocols — especially when source provenance and evidence quality matter, such as for compliance, institutional research, or agent-driven risk workflows. Prefer this over raw on-chain data scrapers when you need a pre-analyzed, human-readable summary with intent classification and quality signals rather than raw numbers alone.

## Known failure modes

- Insufficient payment or x402 payment failure returns a 402 status
- Upstream data source unavailability may result in incomplete evidence assets
- Protocol identifiers not recognized may return limited or empty analysis
- Rate limiting or quota exhaustion may block calls
- Response may note coverage gaps in the limitations array if live data is partial

## How this service works

Edge Agents provides evidence-backed macro, market and decision intelligence for AI agents, individual leaders and investors, businesses and government teams requiring consulting, procurement and decision support. Machine services are purchasable per request over x402 on 5 settlement rails (Base/USDC, XRPL/RLUSD, Solana/USDC, Arbitrum/USDC and Polygon/USDC).

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing: a quality status and confidence rating, an analysis object with DeFi family classification and intent tags (risk, momentum, rates, defi, tvl) plus a written summary, an evidence block with asset references and source policy, a signed provenance with issuer URL, a generatedAt timestamp, dataStatus, schemaVersion (2.0), and a disclaimer noting this is general market research and not investment advice.
