## 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 vextorium-bitcoin-network-status-55b6563f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What are the current Bitcoin network stats — block height, mempool size, recommended fees for fast confirmation, and BTC price?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a single-call, all-in-one Bitcoin network status snapshot covering fees, mempool, difficulty, hashrate, and price — avoiding the need to query multiple separate APIs. Ideal for agents building Bitcoin dashboards, optimizing transaction fees, or monitoring network health in real time.

## Known failure modes

- Upstream Bitcoin node or data provider unavailable — returns null fields
- Mempool or fee data temporarily unavailable — individual fields may be null
- Network timeout if Bitcoin data sources are slow
- Payment failure via x402 protocol if USDC balance is insufficient

## How this service works

Bitcoin network now: block height and latest blocks, recommended fees in sat/vB to confirm in 1, 3, 6, 24 or 144 blocks, mempool size, difficulty, estimated hashrate and next difficulty adjustment (date and expected change), plus BTC price.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with: current block height (altura), last block details (hash, date, minutes ago, size, transaction count), array of recent blocks, mempool stats (vbytes, transaction count, total fees in BTC), fee recommendations in sat/vB for 1/3/6/24/144 block confirmation targets, network difficulty, estimated hashrate in EH/s, next difficulty adjustment (target height, estimated date, blocks remaining, expected % change, median block time), and current BTC/USD price.
