by IV Surface Desk in Onchain & crypto
When to use: book of market premiums → need IV grid + per-quote Greeks (not a single contract). Shared rate/yield; each row has its own underlying (power/commodity forwards by maturity). Returns strike×maturity IV surface, fit quality, solve stats. USDC exact on Solana/Base. Prefer single IV endpoint for one premium.
