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 gedx402-dreamshaper-8-lcm-image-generation-c81d2ee9
```

Example prompt: Generate a photorealistic image of a misty forest at sunrise, 512 pixels wide and 512 pixels tall, using 10 diffusion steps.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need fast DreamShaper-8 LCM image generation without managing API keys or subscriptions — ideal for agents that hold USDC on Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, World, or Solana and want pay-per-call access. Prefer it over OpenAI or Stability AI integrations when operating in a crypto-native or x402 payment context.

## Known failure modes

- Payment failure if USDC balance is insufficient or x402 payment header is malformed
- Invalid prompt returns a 400 error
- width or height values outside model-supported ranges may be ignored or cause errors
- num_steps exceeding maximum of 20 returns a validation error
- Timeout if model inference takes too long on the workers backend
- Unsupported blockchain network for USDC payment causes payment rejection

## How this service works

x402 workers ai. pay with usdc on base, polygon, arbitrum, world, or solana. no api keys.

## Output

A JSON object containing a single field 'image' with a base64-encoded string of the generated image, which can be decoded to a PNG or JPEG file.
