## 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 kronos-signals-btc-market-intelligence-api-da376f14
```

Example prompt: What's the current market read on BTC right now — is funding elevated, are longs getting crowded, and is there squeeze risk building up?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, actionable heuristic read on Bitcoin perpetual futures market conditions — especially funding rate dynamics, OI crowding, and squeeze risk — without building your own data pipeline. Prefer this over raw exchange APIs when you want a pre-interpreted summary alongside raw metrics, and when $0.02 per call micropayment via x402 is acceptable.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not provided or insufficient — x402 payment required ($0.02 USDC per call)
- Data lag of up to 5 minutes may cause stale readings
- 'available' field may be false if data source is temporarily unavailable
- Market data is heuristic only and not financial advice — signals may be misleading during unusual market conditions
- Network errors or upstream Bybit data outages may cause empty or error responses

## How this service works

Real-time crypto derivatives signals for BTC/ETH/SOL/BNB/XRP/DOGE/ADA/AVAX/LINK/DOT/LTC/TRX/BCH/ATOM/NEAR/APT/HYPE-USD: perpetual futures funding rate (raw + annualized), next_funding_time, funding_interval_hours, open interest and 1h change, basis (perp vs index), funding-rate trend. Live data from Bybit/OKX via Kronos market_signals. Pay-per-call via x402.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a plain-English market read summary, BTC-USD funding rate, annualized funding rate, funding trend direction, open interest level and 1-hour change, basis, mark price, index price, 24h volume, next funding timestamp, data source (Bybit), and a disclaimer that data may lag up to 5 minutes. Includes an 'available' flag and 'as_of' timestamp.
