Option Implied Vol

by Single IV Solver in Onchain & crypto

x402 APIPassing, checked 5 h ago

When to use: one market premium → need σ̂ + Greeks; cheaper/faster than a full surface. Solves Black-Scholes IV then prices Greeks at the solved σ. Same engine as the surface endpoint (fastImpliedVol). Prefer surface when you have a multi-strike/maturity book. USDC exact on Solana/Base.

Call it from code

The curl command shows the payment challenge. The JavaScript and Python versions pay and call, and never pay more than $0.03.

curl: see the payment challenge
# bash or zsh: see the payment challenge. Nothing is charged.

# x402 v2 sends the challenge base64-encoded in the PAYMENT-REQUIRED header (v1 sends it in the body).
