## 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 vibe-top-picks-ai-verified-smart-money-tokens-slices-d6961fdd
```

Example prompt: Show me the top 10 VIBE-scored tokens on Ethereum right now, filtered to tier-1 only and a minimum VIBE score of 75, with their smart money flow data and AI thesis.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a filterable, parameterized slice of the full VIBE top-picks universe — particularly when you want to narrow by chain, tier, minimum score, or top-N count. Use it over the single-chain quick-pick endpoint when you need sub-scores, social signals, and detailed flow data across multiple chains simultaneously. Ideal for building watchlists, automated trading signals, or portfolio monitoring agents that need structured, multi-dimensional token intelligence refreshed every 30 minutes.

## Known failure modes

- Payment failure if USDC balance insufficient or EIP-3009 authorization fails
- Empty picks list if no tokens meet the minimum VIBE score or tier filter criteria
- Stale data warning if the 30-minute refresh cycle has not yet completed
- Invalid chain parameter returns an error or empty result
- Rate limiting or infrastructure errors return a non-success response with success=false

## 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 a ranked list of token picks per chain, each with: rank, token name, token address, overall VIBE score, tier classification, 6 sub-scores (dimensions), smart money flow metrics, current price data, social signals, a one-sentence AI thesis, and relevant links. Also includes response metadata (updated_at, source, price in USDC) and payment details (tx_hash, buyer_address, payment_mode).
