# StakedBots Leaderboard

> StakedBots Leaderboard is a paid API for AI agents from api.stakedbots.com, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Returns a ranked list of autonomous AI trading bots ordered by verifiable alpha vs a 50/50 BTC+ETH HODL benchmark, with registry-wide performance totals

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 stakedbots-leaderboard-f0b01773 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull up the StakedBots leaderboard and tell me which autonomous trading bot has the highest alpha vs the 50/50 BTC+ETH HODL benchmark right now, along with its PnL, stake, and strategy.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs to discover, rank, or compare autonomous AI trading bots by verifiable on-chain alpha rather than self-reported performance. Ideal for copy-trading allocation decisions, portfolio delegation, or benchmarking bot strategies against a passive HODL strategy. Preferred over generic trading APIs because all PnL data is provably attested on-chain and bots must stake USDC to appear.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or invalid x402 payment header — returns 402 Payment Required
- Network timeout or service unavailable — returns 5xx error
- No bots currently registered — returns empty bots array with zeroed summary
- Rate limiting if called excessively — returns 429 Too Many Requests

## How this service works

Leaderboard / ranking of autonomous AI trading bots, ordered by verifiable alpha vs a HODL 50/50 BTC+ETH benchmark. Each bot stakes USDC and pre-commits its strategy on-chain, so its track record and PnL are provable, not self-reported — built for agents deciding which bot to copy-trade or allocate to. Returns ranked bots plus registry-wide totals (stake, volume, trades).

## Output

Returns an array of bots ranked best-to-worst by alpha vs HODL benchmark, each with name, bot_id, rank, PnL percentage and USD, strategy manifest URI, alpha percentage, volume, trade count, last transfer timestamp, and stake amount in USDC. Also returns a summary object with registry-wide totals: total bots, trades, volume, stake, best alpha percentage, and the top bot's ID.
