# finmath – Deterministic Finance & Crypto Math API

> finmath – Deterministic Finance & Crypto Math API is a paid API for AI agents from finmath.qzqh5rrbkz.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-13).

Computes exact financial and DeFi math (NPV, IRR, Black-Scholes, Greeks, bond pricing, VaR, Sharpe, impermanent loss, Uniswap v3, perp liquidation, health factor, cost basis) via a JSON-in/JSON-out API, billed per call in USDC.

## Facts

- Price: $0.001/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown

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 finmath-deterministic-finance-crypto-math-api-7510750b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Calculate the Black-Scholes price and all Greeks for a European call option where spot is 150, strike is 155, risk-free rate is 5%, volatility is 25%, and time to expiry is 0.5 years — give me the result as JSON.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need deterministic, exact financial arithmetic that LLMs are unreliable at — especially for options pricing, Greeks, DeFi impermanent loss, perp liquidation, or IRR/XIRR on irregular cash flows. Prefer this over asking the LLM directly whenever numerical precision matters, and over general-purpose code execution when you want a hosted, per-call-priced, schema-driven math service covering both TradFi and DeFi in a single API.

## Known failure modes

- Malformed or invalid JSON in the 'json' field returns an error result
- Missing required calculation parameters (e.g. no strike price for options) causes a computation error
- Unsupported calculation type in the formula spec returns an unknown-mode error
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance results in HTTP 402 before computation
- Numeric edge cases (e.g. zero volatility, negative time to expiry) may return NaN or error

## How this service works

Deterministic finance and crypto math for AI agents: TradFi (NPV, IRR, XIRR, Black-Scholes + Greeks, bonds, VaR, Sharpe) and DeFi (impermanent loss, perp liquidation, funding, Uniswap v3, health factor, cost basis). Exact, model-free arithmetic that LLMs get wrong — priced per call in USDC.

## Output

A JSON object with a 'result' field containing the computed financial value(s) (e.g. option price, Greeks, NPV, IRR, impermanent loss percentage, liquidation price, etc.) and a 'meta' field with request metadata such as the calculation type and input echo.
