## 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-sharpe-strategies-97d75035
```

Example prompt: Show me the top trading strategies from ManyLives ranked by Sharpe ratio for this week — I want to see which ones have the best risk-adjusted returns across crypto and stocks.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a pre-ranked, risk-adjusted weekly leaderboard of trading strategies and want verifiable on-chain backtest provenance. Prefer this over generic market data APIs when the goal is strategy discovery ranked by Sharpe ratio rather than raw price or volume data. Ideal for AI trading agents that need to select or hire a strategy each week based on risk-adjusted performance.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not included or insufficient USDC — returns HTTP 402 Payment Required
- Network or Base chain unavailability may delay on-chain data freshness
- Strategy data may be partially computed (marked 'computed*') rather than fully on-chain verified
- Empty or minimal results if no strategies meet the weekly Sharpe threshold
- Malformed response if strategy index is temporarily unavailable
