Example prompt: Can you pull the current best-performing 1-hour trading strategies from ManyLives, ranked by highest return after costs over the last 7 days, so I can decide which ones to allocate capital to?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI trading agent needs to quickly identify the highest-returning 1-hour trading strategies with verifiable, on-chain-backed track records, especially when ranking by recent (7-day) post-cost performance matters. Prefer it over generic market data feeds when the goal is strategy selection and comparison rather than raw price data, and when cryptographic verifiability of backtest results is a requirement.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not processed or insufficient USDC balance — 402 Payment Required response
- No strategies available for the 1h timeframe — empty results list returned
- On-chain data temporarily unavailable — some entries may fall back to computed* source
- Network timeout if Base network is congested during verification lookup
- Malformed response if strategy data has not been updated recently

## How this service works
