## 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 market-intelligence-api-funding-carry-trades-screener-30b255e1
```

Example prompt: Show me the best funding carry trades on Hyperliquid right now — rank all perps by their 24h average funding rate and steadiness, tell me which side collects, whether I can hedge with on-chain spot, and how the funding compares to GMX v2 and gTrade.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a pre-ranked, multi-signal view of Hyperliquid funding carry opportunities across all asset classes (crypto, stocks, commodities) in one call, especially when cross-venue comparison (vs GMX v2 and gTrade) and hedge availability matter. Prefer this over building your own funding screener or querying raw Hyperliquid APIs when you want steadiness-weighted ranking and spot-hedge flags already computed.

## Known failure modes

- Hyperliquid data unavailable — upstream API outage returns empty or error response
- Stale funding data if called during a Hyperliquid network disruption
- No markets returned if funding rates are near-zero across the board
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance insufficient for $0.005 fee
- Rate limiting if called at very high frequency

## How this service works

Funding rate carry trades and arbitrage ($0.01): Hyperliquid perps (crypto, stocks, commodities) whose funding pays a hedged position, ranked by 24h average and steadiness, with the side that collects it, open interest, whether on-chain spot exists for the hedge and funding spreads vs GMX v2 and gTrade. Use to find carry.

## Output

A ranked list of Hyperliquid perpetual markets (crypto, stocks, commodities) with: 24h average funding rate, steadiness score, the side that collects funding (long or short), open interest, whether on-chain spot exists for hedging, and funding rate spreads vs GMX v2 and gTrade — sorted to surface the most attractive carry trade opportunities first.
