## 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-lucid-origin-image-generation-1ad9bdfd
```

Example prompt: Generate an image of a misty mountain forest at sunrise, 1024 pixels wide by 768 pixels tall, using 15 diffusion steps for good quality.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to generate images using the Lucid Origin diffusion model specifically, want to pay per-call with USDC on Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, World, or Solana without managing API keys, and prefer a crypto-native x402 payment flow over subscription-based image APIs.

## Known failure modes

- Insufficient USDC balance or failed x402 payment results in 402 Payment Required
- Invalid prompt (empty or null) may return a 400 Bad Request
- num_steps exceeds maximum of 20 returns validation error
- Width or height values unsupported by model may be ignored or cause error
- Network timeout if generation takes too long under heavy load

## 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 base64-encoded string of the generated image under the key 'image', ready to be decoded and displayed or saved as an image file.
