## 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-21f18279 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the current total value locked (TVL) for Uniswap according to DeFiLlama?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need on-demand TVL data for DeFi protocols without setting up a direct DeFiLlama integration, and when you are already operating in a pay-per-request USDC micropayment context. Prefer this over direct DeFiLlama API calls when working within an agent framework that already handles x402 payments.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized protocol name returns empty or error result
- DeFiLlama upstream API downtime causes failed response
- Missing required query parameters may return generic or incorrect TVL data
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns 402 status

## 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 DeFi protocols sourced from DeFiLlama, typically including the total value locked in USD, possibly broken down by chain or pool, wrapped in a result object.
