## 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-trending-token-explainer-58cfaf29 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What are the top 5 trending tokens on Base right now — give me the contract type, tags, and a quick summary of what each one actually is.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a fast, enriched snapshot of what tokens are currently gaining traction on a specific EVM-compatible chain — especially when you want human-readable classification (contract type, tags, summary) rather than raw price or volume data. Prefer it over DEX screeners or raw on-chain queries when the goal is to understand *what* a trending token is, not just *that* it is trending.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported chain value returns an error — only base, ethereum, arbitrum, optimism, polygon, bsc are valid
- Limit outside 1-10 range may be rejected or clamped
- Trending data may be stale if the upstream source hasn't updated recently
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance blocks the call
- No trending data available for a given chain at a given moment

## How this service works

What the tokens trending on a chain right now actually are — contract type, tags and a one-line summary. No input required.

## Output

A list of currently trending tokens on the specified chain, each with its contract type (e.g. ERC-20, LP token), classification tags (e.g. DeFi, meme, stablecoin), and a concise one-line description of what the token is or does. No external input other than chain and limit is required.
