## 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-66256eb6 -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 quick, pay-per-request access to DeFiLlama TVL data without setting up a direct DeFiLlama API integration. Ideal for agents that occasionally need DeFi TVL lookups as part of broader workflows and want to pay per call in USDC rather than managing API keys.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or misspelled protocol name returns empty or error result
- DeFiLlama upstream API unavailability causes request failure
- Protocol with very low TVL or newly launched may return zero or null values
- Rate limiting or payment failure results in 402 response

## 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 sourced from DeFiLlama, including the total value locked figure for a specified DeFi protocol or blockchain, wrapped in a result object. Exact fields depend on the DeFiLlama data available for the queried entity.
