# Strale Protocol TVL Lookup

> Strale Protocol TVL Lookup is a paid API for AI agents from api.strale.io, paid per call via x402, $0.0216/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Look up the Total Value Locked (TVL) for a specific DeFi protocol by name or DeFi Llama slug.

## Facts

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 strale-protocol-tvl-lookup-3201d9e5
```

Example prompt: What's the current total value locked for Aave? Pull it from the protocol TVL lookup so I get a verified audit record.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a verified, auditable TVL lookup for a specific DeFi protocol by name or DeFi Llama slug, especially when a cryptographic audit trail is required for compliance or reporting. Prefer this over scraping DeFi Llama directly when auditability and structured API access matter.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or misspelled protocol slug returns an error or empty result
- Protocol not indexed by DeFi Llama returns no data
- Network or upstream DeFi Llama API unavailability causes failure
- Invalid query parameter type causes a schema validation error

## How this service works

The trust layer for AI agents — 250+ independently tested data capabilities across 27 countries. Execute capabilities via REST, MCP, A2A, or x402 micropayments. Every call returns an audit record with cryptographic chain hashing.

## Output

Returns the current Total Value Locked (TVL) for the requested DeFi protocol, sourced from DeFi Llama, along with an audit record containing a cryptographic chain hash for verification purposes.
