## 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 glassnode-bitcoin-power-law-model-cff3be65
```

Example prompt: Pull the Glassnode Bitcoin power-law model data for BTC at daily resolution in JSON format so I can see where current price sits relative to the long-term log-log trend.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need Glassnode's specific power-law mathematical model for Bitcoin price trends over time, especially for long-term valuation analysis, log-log scale charting, or comparing current BTC price to its historical power-law trajectory. Prefer over generic price endpoints when the goal is model-based analysis rather than spot price lookup.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'a' (asset) query parameter returns 400 error
- Unsupported asset symbol returns validation error
- Payment not provided or insufficient USDC results in 402 Payment Required
- Invalid format parameter 'f' returns format error
- Rate limiting or provider downtime returns 5xx error

## How this service works

Power-Law Model — Power-Law Model is a mathematical description of Bitcoin's historical price trends, revealing a power-law distribution on a log-log scale that suggests a correlation between time and price. Data by Glassnode.

## Output

An array of timestamped data points (t: Unix timestamp, v: numeric value) representing Bitcoin's price as modeled by the power-law fit on a log-log scale, covering historical daily intervals.
