# IOTA Staking APY and Network

> IOTA Staking APY and Network is a paid API for AI agents from agentsvc.io, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-16).

Returns a full snapshot of the IOTA mainnet: epoch, gas price, supply, IOTA price/market cap, and all active validators with staking APY, commission, and stake sorted by APY.

## Facts

- Endpoint: POST https://agentsvc.io/api/v1/proxy/iota-network?utm_source=zero.xyz
- Price: $0.002/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-10-16
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/iota-staking-apy-and-network-e6eb4fe5
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_MtTTALjft4PFc4nkYMOdo

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 iota-staking-apy-and-network-e6eb4fe5 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest IOTA mainnet snapshot — give me the current epoch, IOTA price, total stake, and show me all active validators ranked by staking APY with their commission rates so I can pick the best one.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a single-call comprehensive snapshot of the IOTA mainnet including validator rankings by APY. It is the best choice for validator selection, staking yield comparison, or network health monitoring on IOTA specifically — as opposed to general crypto price APIs that lack validator/staking data, or blockchain explorers that require multiple calls to aggregate this information.

## Known failure modes

- IOTA RPC node temporarily unavailable — returns error with no data
- Network connectivity issues between proxy and IOTA mainnet — timeout or partial data
- Malformed POST body — returns validation error
- Stale data if IOTA network is mid-epoch transition

## How this service works

126 APIs for AI agents: web scraping and crawling to Markdown, AI summaries, data extraction and cited answers, checks before installing a package or citing a source, screenshots and PDF, PDF, OCR and document conversion and more, paid per call with USDC on Base, Solana, Polygon or Arbitrum via x402. No account, no API key, free sample on every service.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with: current epoch number, latest checkpoint, reference gas price in nanos, estimated simple transfer fee, total and circulating IOTA supply, IOTA price in USD, market cap, total network stake, and an array of all active validators each with their name, staking APY, commission rate, and stake amount — sorted by APY descending.
