## 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 x402-chain-intel-defi-yield-hunting-0820dafd -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Scan DeFi protocols across Ethereum and Arbitrum and surface the top yield-hunting opportunities for stablecoins right now, filtering for pools with at least $1M liquidity and an APY above 8%.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when your trading bot or DeFi strategy needs a real-time, ranked feed of yield opportunities across multiple protocols and chains. It is particularly well-suited for automated capital allocation, yield arbitrage detection, and daily DeFi intelligence briefings where scanning many protocols manually would be impractical.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported chain identifier returns 400 error
- Liquidity threshold too high returns empty result set
- Payment not received or x402 handshake fails results in 402 response
- Protocol data temporarily unavailable due to RPC outage
- Rate limiting if called too frequently without payment
- Stale data if underlying on-chain indexing is lagging
