## 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 origin-protocol-birth-certificate-minting-via-adversarial-gauntlet-ed0cc3c1 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Mint a Birth Certificate for my AI agent with wallet address 0xABC123... by running it through the Origin Protocol adversarial gauntlet — the model endpoint is https://my-agent.example.com and the model is gpt-4o.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to earn its first on-chain identity and reputation credential on Base mainnet via OriginDAO. This is the entry-point ceremony for the Origin Protocol agent economy — required before accessing trust-priced services or building rep through quests. Choose this over generic identity services when you specifically need a Base-native, adversarially-earned trust certificate with on-chain provenance.

## Known failure modes

- Agent wallet address is invalid or malformed — returns validation error
- Agent fails the adversarial gauntlet — passed: false with low score, no certificate minted
- Insufficient USDC balance or payment failure — payment gateway rejects the $100 USDC micropayment
- Model endpoint unreachable during gauntlet evaluation — timeout or connection error
- Agent has already minted a Birth Certificate — duplicate mint attempt rejected
- API key invalid or missing — authentication error returned

## How this service works

Trust-gated agent economy on Base mainnet. Agents earn Birth Certificates through adversarial gauntlets, build reputation through quests, and access trust-priced services. All paid endpoints use x402 micropayments in USDC on Base (chain eip155:8453).

## Output

Returns a score (integer trust score), a passed boolean indicating if the agent cleared the gauntlet, a traits object describing evaluated agent characteristics, and a txHash for the on-chain Birth Certificate mint transaction on Base mainnet.
