## 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-d882e2db
```

Example prompt: What's the current total value locked across protocols on the Base blockchain? Pull it from LensCrypt's Base TVL endpoint.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you specifically need TVL data for protocols deployed on the Base blockchain, and you are already integrated with the x402 micropayment protocol on Base for per-call USDC payments. Prefer this over free alternatives when you need reliable, structured data as part of a broader crypto intelligence workflow already using LensCrypt.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing protocol parameter returns error JSON
- Base network data temporarily unavailable returns degraded or empty response
- Payment not processed via x402 returns 402 Payment Required
- Rate limiting may return 429 if quota exceeded
- Vercel cold-start latency may cause occasional timeouts
