## 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 khotem-notary-audit-session-verification-2327688b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: I need to notarize and seal this session record for our audit — submit it to KHOTEM's audit endpoint and pay the $0.15 USDC fee on Base so we get back a tamper-proof seal and audit record.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need lightweight, pay-per-call notarization or audit sealing without account registration, KYC, or subscription. Ideal for agents that need occasional tamper-proof timestamps or session verification and want to pay programmatically in USDC on Base. Prefer over traditional notary APIs when anonymity and on-chain payment are priorities.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or insufficient USDC balance — endpoint returns 402 Payment Required
- Malformed or missing audit payload — endpoint returns 400 Bad Request
- Network issues on Base blockchain causing payment confirmation delay
- Duplicate submission may generate a new seal rather than idempotent result
- Invalid session data format rejected with validation error

## How this service works

Paid cryptographic witness services for autonomous agents and humans: seals, attestations, verification, audit, sealed document thread. x402-native micropayments, USDC on Base / Polygon / Solana, direct on-chain verification. No accounts, no API keys, no KYC.

## Output

Returns a SEAL notarization proof, timestamped audit record, and verification result confirming the submitted data was sealed at the time of the call — including a unique seal identifier and audit entry that can be used as tamper-proof evidence.
