## 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 mekong-trade-intel-defi-token-contract-intelligence-3d11ddee
```

Example prompt: Can you check the token contract 0x4ed4E862860beD51a9570b96d89aF5E1B0Efefed on Base — I want to know if it's source-verified on Sourcify, whether it's a proxy, and any heuristic risk flags?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need quick heuristic intelligence on a specific token contract on the Base network — especially for source verification status, proxy pattern detection, and risk flag screening before interacting with an unknown token. Best for pre-trade due diligence, scam screening, or building DeFi dashboards. Not a substitute for full security audits or financial advice.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed contract address (not 0x-prefixed or not 40 hex chars) returns an error
- Contract address not deployed on Base returns empty or error response
- Network issues accessing Base RPC or Sourcify may cause timeouts
- Contract with no metadata may return partial results
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance blocks the call

## How this service works

Token contract intelligence on Base: supply, metadata, source verification (Sourcify), proxy detection, heuristic risk flags. $0.010 per call. Heuristics only — not financial advice.

## Output

Returns token contract intelligence including: token name/symbol/decimals metadata, total supply, Sourcify source code verification status (verified/unverified), proxy contract detection (whether the contract delegates calls to another implementation), and heuristic risk flags highlighting potential red flags such as mint functions, ownership patterns, or other suspicious code patterns. All results are heuristic-based, not financial advice.
