## 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-silverbackdefi-app-8ba0ba5b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Show me the top 10 liquidity pools on Base chain right now, sorted by TVL — I want to see the token pairs, current APY, and 24-hour trading volume for each.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a ranked overview of top-performing liquidity pools across DeFi protocols, especially on Base chain. Prefer this over individual pool lookups when you want a comparative leaderboard by TVL, volume, or yield. Ideal for yield farming research, liquidity provision decisions, or market overview dashboards.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid chain or protocol parameter returns 400 error
- No pools found for given filter criteria returns empty result set

## Output

A ranked list of top liquidity pools including pool addresses, token pairs, TVL, 24-hour trading volume, APY, and protocol names
