## 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-top-strategies-this-year-2451b465

Example prompt: Can you pull the top-performing crypto trading strategies for this year from ManyLives — I want to see which ones have the highest verified returns and are suitable for a beginner?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a pre-ranked, cost-efficient snapshot of the year's best trading strategies without building your own ranking logic. Prefer it over rolling your own backtest aggregation when you want verifiable on-chain sourcing and a beginner-friendly tier label. Best for agents that need quick strategy selection inputs rather than custom filtered queries.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or x402 handshake fails — endpoint returns 402 Payment Required
- No strategies available for the current year — may return empty results list
- Upstream data unavailable — on-chain source latency or computation errors may yield partial results
- Malformed request headers — returns 400 Bad Request
