## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, paid, on-demand lookup of the Base blockchain's total value locked without building your own data pipeline. Prefer this over generic DeFi aggregators when you need it integrated with other LensCrypt crypto intelligence endpoints in a single payment flow using x402 on Base.

## Known failure modes

- API key or payment missing — returns 402 Payment Required if USDC payment via x402 is not attached
- Protocol data temporarily unavailable — returns 503 or error status
- Rate limit exceeded — returns 429 if too many requests in a short period
- Network timeout — Base chain data feed may be delayed or stale
