## 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-track-records-1h-best-sharpe-strategies-3bde5dd1
```

Example prompt: Pull the current top hourly trading strategies ranked by Sharpe ratio from ManyLives — I want to see which ones have the best verified risk-adjusted returns over the last 30 days.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a pre-ranked, verifiable list of the best risk-adjusted hourly trading strategies without building your own ranking logic. It is ideal for AI trading agents that need to quickly identify top Sharpe-ratio strategies across 2,000+ crypto and stock options, with on-chain provenance guarantees on Base network. Prefer this over raw market data endpoints when you want curated, backtested strategy rankings rather than raw price data.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not processed or insufficient USDC balance — endpoint returns 402 Payment Required
- Network or Base chain verification unavailable — may return 503 or degraded data
- No strategies available meeting hourly Sharpe criteria — returns empty results array
- Malformed response if on-chain data source is temporarily unreachable

## How this service works

Pay-per-call tools for people building AI agents: live web search and page contents, point-in-time crypto market data and news for backtests (no lookahead), verifiable track records of 1,000 crypto strategies locked on the Base network, company profiles, quick AI and batch prices. Ask us to turn a public website into a JSON endpoint. Pay per call, no account, free trial.
