## 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-tvl-lookup-13db2f51 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the current total value locked for Aave according to DefiLlama?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need quick, pay-per-request access to DefiLlama TVL data without managing a direct DefiLlama API integration; ideal for AI agents needing on-demand DeFi TVL lookups paid via USDC on Base chain.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or unsupported protocol name returns an error or empty result
- DefiLlama upstream API unavailability causes request failure
- Malformed input object results in a generic error response
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC) returns HTTP 402 before the query is processed

## How this service works

400+ paid API endpoints. Social media, AI, crypto, finance, weather, ecommerce, tools. Pay per request with USDC on Base chain.

## Output

Returns TVL data for the queried DeFi protocol, including the total value locked figure and related metrics sourced from DefiLlama's aggregated on-chain data.
