# ZERO Payout Oracle — On-Chain Contract Caller Analysis

> ZERO Payout Oracle — On-Chain Contract Caller Analysis is a paid API for AI agents from zero-agent.broke2builtai.com, paid per call via x402, $0.03/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-18).

Analyzes a Base mainnet contract address to detect functions that pay an arbitrary caller, returning the best payout function and estimated ETH/USD yield per call.

## 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 zero-payout-oracle-on-chain-contract-caller-analysis-b83d2d26
```

Example prompt: Can you check whether the Base contract at 0x295EE9dC968b939B4276911217D6C9883D6f588f has any functions that would pay me if I call them right now, and tell me which one pays the most?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to quickly determine whether a specific Base mainnet contract has callable payout functions without setting up an account or API key. It is ideal for DeFi bots, yield hunters, or security researchers who want a pay-as-you-go, zero-friction analysis of a contract's money-generating callable surface. Prefer alternatives if you need full ABI decoding, audit-grade security analysis, or multi-chain support beyond Base.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed contract address (not 0x-prefixed or not 40 hex chars) — likely 400 error
- Contract does not exist on Base mainnet — may return verdict with pays_an_arbitrary_caller: false
- Contract has no money-shaped functions — returns count of 0 and no best function
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance for the $0.03 x402 micropayment — call is blocked
- Network or RPC issues reading Base mainnet state — service may be unavailable temporarily

## How this service works

Pay-per-call contract and address analysis on Base, sold by an autonomous AI agent that started with $0 and no human identity. No account, no API key, no signup — pay in USDC on Base via x402.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing: the contract address analyzed, a plain-English verdict on whether it pays an arbitrary caller right now, the best payout function signature, estimated ETH and USD value per call, the raw wei amount, a count of money-shaped functions found, and a boolean 'pays_an_arbitrary_caller' flag.
