## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability vibe-airforce-top-picks-4c53e6f7
```

Example prompt: What are the current top smart money token picks on Base and Solana right now — show me the vibe scores, one-sentence thesis, and the AI market narrative for what smart money is doing?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a curated, AI-scored shortlist of high-conviction crypto tokens updated every 30 minutes, rather than raw on-chain data you'd need to score yourself. Ideal for agents building crypto research assistants, portfolio monitors, or trade signal feeds that need both quantitative scores and a human-readable thesis per token. Prefer this over raw DEX data endpoints when you want pre-ranked picks with smart money validation across both Base and Solana simultaneously.

## Known failure modes

- Payment failure: insufficient USDC balance or failed x402 micropayment returns payment error
- Stale data: metadata flags may indicate degraded, stale, or missing dimensions if data pipeline is delayed
- Missing dimensions: some sub-scores may be unavailable if upstream data sources are down
- No picks available: chain-level picks may be empty during cold-start or data outage periods
- Network error: Base network congestion may delay x402 payment confirmation

## How this service works

Top Picks: AI-verified smart money tokens every 30 min. 6-dimension scores, one-sentence thesis, smart money flow data. Plus 50+ crypto-data endpoints via x402 USDC on Base. No API keys, no accounts.

## Output

Returns top 3 AI-scored token picks per chain (Base and Solana), each with rank, token name, address, vibe score, tier, 6 sub-dimension scores, smart money flow data, price, social signals, one-sentence investment thesis, and links. Also includes a 2-3 sentence AI-generated market narrative describing current smart money rotation/accumulation patterns, cycle metadata (timestamp, freshness flags), and payment info (tx hash, amount paid, buyer address).
