Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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-deployer-x402-deployer-workers-dev-68c43a2b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the current TVL for Uniswap on DeFiLlama, including its chain breakdown and how much the TVL has changed over the past 24 hours, 7 days, and 30 days?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured DeFiLlama TVL data for a specific DeFi protocol including chain-level breakdowns, historical change metrics, audit status, and category tags — especially when you want a single paid, reliable API call rather than scraping DeFiLlama directly.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or misspelled protocol slug returns 404 or empty result
- Protocol not indexed by DeFiLlama returns no data
- Upstream DeFiLlama API unavailable causes timeout or 5xx error
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns 402 or 429

## How this service works

DefiLlama protocol lookup — TVL, chain breakdown, current TVL, 24h/7d/30d changes, audits, parent protocol, categories. Free public API with attribution.

## Output

Returns the protocol's current total value locked (TVL), a breakdown of TVL across individual chains, percentage changes over 24h/7d/30d periods, associated categories (e.g. DEX, lending), audit records, and parent protocol if applicable.
