## 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 manylives-1-week-best-return-strategies-d3f39063

Example prompt: Show me the top trading strategies ranked by best weekly return from ManyLives — I want to see which ones are performing best right now with on-chain verified backtest results.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a pre-ranked, ready-to-use leaderboard of the best weekly-return strategies without building your own ranking logic. Prefer it over raw market data feeds when you want backtested, on-chain-verifiable performance rather than raw price data. Best for AI trading agents that need to quickly select or compare strategies by recent return performance.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not completed — x402 payment of 0.01 USDC required before data is returned
- Stale data — computed* sources may lag real-time on-chain data
- Empty results — no strategies meeting weekly criteria in current window
- Network timeout — Base network latency may cause delayed responses
- Rate limiting — repeated unpaid calls may be rejected

## How this service works
