## 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 lenscrypt-base-protocol-tvl-lookup-6ad34d7c
```

Example prompt: What's the current total value locked across protocols on the Base blockchain right now?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you specifically need TVL data for protocols deployed on the Base blockchain and want a direct REST lookup rather than scraping DeFi dashboards like DeFiLlama. Prefer this when building automated DeFi monitoring agents that need programmatic access to Base TVL metrics and are willing to pay per-call via the x402 micropayment protocol.

## Known failure modes

- Endpoint returns 402 Payment Required if USDC payment via x402 is not provided or insufficient
- Protocol data may be stale or unavailable if upstream DeFi data sources are unreachable
- Returns generic error if Base network data is temporarily unavailable
- Invalid or malformed request parameters may result in 400 errors
- Rate limiting may apply if too many requests are made in quick succession

## How this service works

81 paid REST endpoints covering wallet analytics, DeFi yields, token safety, smart money tracking, whale alerts, sniper detection, GMX perps, Solana tools, protocol stats, gas tracking, DEX quotes, NFT analytics, social signals, and 8 AI-powered endpoints (MiMo V2.5). Pay USDC via x402 protocol on Base.

## Output

A JSON response containing TVL data for the Base blockchain, including aggregate or per-protocol total value locked figures expressed in USD, along with a status field confirming the response succeeded.
