## 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 lotus-network-patron-pledge-supporter-tier-d96d532d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Register my wallet 0xABC123... as a Lotus Network Supporter patron — pledge the $5 USDC fee and get back my tier confirmation and expiry date.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to register or activate a wallet as a Lotus Network Supporter patron, specifically for unlocking patron-gated access or recording a time-bounded pledge. This is a write operation that creates a membership record — not for querying existing status or accessing media generation services directly.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed wallet address returns an error
- Insufficient USDC balance for the $5 x402 payment causes payment failure
- Already-pledged wallet may return a duplicate or conflict response
- Network/chain congestion may delay settlement confirmation
- Missing walletAddress field in request body returns a validation error

## How this service works

Seven pay-per-call services on Base, settled in USDC over x402: video and image generation, transcription, PDF-to-Markdown, and an auditable gas forecasting loop. No key, no account, no subscription.

## Output

Returns a JSON object confirming the pledge with fields: tier (e.g. 'supporter'), tierLabel ('Lotus Supporter'), wallet address, success boolean, pledgedAt ISO timestamp, and expiresAt ISO timestamp indicating when the supporter status expires.
