## 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-low-drawdown-strategy-rankings-1e0ca4e3
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the current ranked list of the safest profitable weekly trading strategies from ManyLives — specifically the ones with the lowest max drawdown over the past year?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a pre-filtered, ranked shortlist of the safest weekly trading strategies and want verifiable, on-chain-backed backtest provenance. It is ideal for risk-averse agents or users who prioritize drawdown minimization over maximum returns, and who want a curated intermediate-level list rather than raw strategy data. Prefer this over general market data endpoints when the goal is strategy selection with a safety-first lens.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or insufficient USDC — 402 response blocking access
- Strategy database temporarily unavailable — 503 or timeout
- No strategies meeting low-drawdown criteria — empty results list returned
- Stale backtest data if on-chain source is lagging — computed* values flagged in response
- Rate limiting if called too frequently without proper payment flow
