# TokenGuard Lightning Crypto/DeFi Data API

> TokenGuard Lightning Crypto/DeFi Data API is a paid API for AI agents from eltociear-tokenguard.hf.space, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Provides on-demand crypto and DeFi intelligence including ERC-20 token safety checks, market data, DeFi analytics, and on-chain data for AI agents via micropayment-gated POST endpoint.

## 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 tokenguard-lightning-crypto-defi-data-api-d9eb74e6 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check whether the ERC-20 token at contract address 0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48 on Ethereum is safe to buy — I want a risk assessment and any red flags before I invest.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need fast, per-call crypto/DeFi intelligence without a subscription — especially for ERC-20 token safety checks, rug pull detection, or DeFi analytics paid via x402 USDC micropayments on Base. Ideal for AI agents making autonomous token evaluation decisions at low cost ($0.01/call).

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized contract address returns an error or empty result
- Unsupported blockchain network yields no data
- Micropayment not fulfilled causes 402 Payment Required response
- Token not indexed or too new may return incomplete data
- Rate limiting or HuggingFace Space downtime causes 503 or timeout
