## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a trustworthy, cross-validated ETH/USD spot price and want to detect exchange-level price discrepancies. Ideal for AI agents making Ethereum-denominated decisions, DeFi workflows, or any scenario where a single-source price feed is insufficient. Prefer over single-exchange feeds when data reliability and divergence detection matter.

## Known failure modes

- Exchange API unavailable — one or both upstream price feeds (Coinbase/Kraken) may be unreachable, returning partial or error response
- Large divergence detected — prices differ significantly between exchanges, divergence flag is raised but response still returns
- Stale price data — if upstream feeds are slow, returned price may lag real-time market
- Payment failure — x402 micropayment of $0.002 USDC not processed, endpoint returns 402 Payment Required
