## 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 tenjin-the-lurker-vitalik-ethereum-strawmap-edition-96ace5ce
```

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need the specific Tenjin Lurker article covering Vitalik's Ethereum Strawmap week, LLM proving overhead, and Signal privacy — not for real-time blockchain data, live price feeds, or general Ethereum documentation. Prefer this over generic web search when you want a pre-digested, paid-quality crypto intelligence narrative from a curated newsletter source.

## Known failure modes

- Article not found if slug is misspelled or removed
- Payment of $0.05 USDC required via x402 protocol — unpaid requests receive 402 response
- Handle not recognized if creator handle is incorrect or unclaimed
- Network timeout on slow connections
- Stale content if article has been updated post-publication
