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 synthora-exchange-rates-verified-a57a2b8f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Cross-verify the current exchange rates for EUR, GBP, and JPY against USD — compare the ECB official fixing with the market aggregate and alert me if any currency shows a divergence larger than 50 basis points.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when data quality and rate integrity are critical — especially before executing large FX conversions, feeding rates into a financial agent, or auditing third-party FX data. It is uniquely valuable because it provides a dual-source deviation score in basis points rather than just a rate, making it the right choice when you need to trust the data, not just retrieve it. Prefer this over single-source FX APIs whenever a bad rate could cause financial loss or downstream agent errors.

## Known failure modes

- Upstream source unavailable: if frankfurter.app or open.er-api.com is down, rates for affected currencies cannot be cross-verified
- Stale data: if either source lags, the deviation may reflect a timing mismatch rather than a genuine discrepancy
- Currency not covered by one source: some exotic currencies may only appear in one of the two data providers, preventing cross-verification
- Payment failure: x402 USDC payment on Base not processed, call rejected
- High-deviation false positives during market open/close when ECB fixing hasn't updated yet

## How this service works

SYNTHORA exchange-rates-verified: FX rates for 160+ currencies CROSS-VERIFIED between two independent sources (ECB official fixing via frankfurter.app vs market aggregate open.er-api.com) with per-currency deviation in bps and divergence alert >50 bps. The product is the discrepancy: a bad rate breaks a financial agent. Free sources, no key. $0.005 USDC x402 Base.

## Output

Returns cross-verified exchange rates for 160+ currencies with the ECB official fixing rate, the market aggregate rate, per-currency deviation in basis points, and a divergence alert flag for any currency exceeding 50 bps discrepancy between the two sources.
