## How to call it through Zero

```

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a pre-ranked, ready-to-use leaderboard of strategies by 1-month return without having to query and sort individual strategy records yourself. Ideal for AI trading agents that need a fast, opinionated shortlist for strategy selection or portfolio decisions at the start of a new trading period. Prefer this over broader strategy search endpoints when recency (1-month performance) is the primary selection criterion.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not processed — 402 response if USDC payment via x402 protocol is missing or insufficient
- No strategies available — empty results list if data pipeline is not yet populated
- Stale data — computed* fields may lag real-time on-chain data
- Network timeout — Base network latency may cause delays in on-chain sourced data points
- Invalid request format — malformed query parameters may return 400 error
