## 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 eth-mainnet-erc-721-owner-lookup-37a10e57
```

Example prompt: Who currently owns token ID 5765 on the Bored Ape Yacht Club contract at 0xBC4CA0EdA7647A8aB7C2061c2E118A18a936f13d on Ethereum mainnet?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to resolve the current on-chain owner of a specific ERC-721 NFT on Ethereum mainnet. Prefer it over general blockchain explorers when you need a programmatic, structured response for an agent workflow. It is purpose-built for the ownerOf ERC-721 call, making it more reliable than a generic RPC endpoint for this specific operation.

## Known failure modes

- Token ID does not exist or has been burned — contract may revert with an error
- Invalid contract address format (not 0x + 40 hex) — request rejected by schema validation
- Contract address is not a valid ERC-721 contract — may return unexpected results or error
- Network congestion or RPC unavailability — timeout or 5xx error
- Incorrect token ID format (non-decimal) — query parameter parsing failure

## How this service works

ARYSPHERE sells AI-written verdicts on Base token contracts (a grade, a one-liner, a roast and the contract's facts) and Base/Ethereum chain reads, paid per call in USDC on Base over x402 v2. No account and no API key.

## Output

Returns the Ethereum wallet address (0x + 40 hex characters) of the current owner of the specified ERC-721 token, as returned by the contract's ownerOf function on Ethereum mainnet.
