## 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 kiteendpoints-ai-defillama-protocols-b5daefb5 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the full list of DeFi protocols and their TVL from DefiLlama so I can see which ones are currently tracked and how much value is locked in each?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a comprehensive, ready-to-consume list of DeFi protocols and TVL data from DefiLlama without managing your own DefiLlama API integration. It is particularly useful for agents that need crypto/DeFi market data on demand and want to pay per request in USDC rather than managing API keys or subscriptions.

## Known failure modes

- DefiLlama upstream API unavailable or rate-limited — returns generic error in result object
- Payment not received or insufficient USDC balance — 402 Payment Required response
- Malformed request body — may return empty or error result
- Network timeout from upstream DefiLlama API — delayed or no response

## How this service works

## Output

Returns a structured result object containing a list of DeFi protocols from DefiLlama, including each protocol's name, TVL, chain presence, and related metadata as provided by the DefiLlama API.
