## 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 render402-ai-video-generation-07077242 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Generate a cinematic text-to-video clip of 'a lone astronaut walking across a red Martian desert at sunset, dust swirling in the wind' using MiniMax H3 and pay the $0.09 USDC fee automatically.

## When to prefer this

Choose Render402 when you need AI video generation (text-to-video, image-to-video, first-and-last-frame, or lip-sync) paid programmatically in USDC on Base via the x402 protocol — ideal for autonomous agents that need crypto-native per-request billing without API key subscriptions. Prefer this over other video APIs when your stack already handles x402 micropayments or you want MiniMax H3 quality specifically.

## Known failure modes

- Insufficient USDC balance causes payment failure before generation begins
- Invalid or unsupported image format for image-to-video or frame inputs
- Malformed text prompt causing MiniMax H3 rejection
- x402 payment protocol handshake failure on Base network
- Polling the status URL may be required as generation is asynchronous and not instant
- Network timeout if the Base blockchain is congested during payment settlement
