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
Returns a result object containing the computed implied volatility (as an annualized decimal, e.g. 0.25 for 25%) and a meta object with computation details. The implied vol is the unique sigma that, when plugged into Black-Scholes, reproduces the observed market option price.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“What's the implied volatility on a call option where the spot is $150, strike is $155, the option is trading at $4.20, risk-free rate is 5%, and there are 0.25 years to expiry?”

Endpoint
POSThttps://finmath.qzqh5rrbkz.workers.dev/v1/implied_volatilityWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a precise, deterministic implied volatility calculation that an LLM cannot reliably perform via in-context arithmetic. Prefer it over manual Black-Scholes inversion when accuracy matters — e.g. for trading decisions, risk management, Greeks computation pipelines, or any workflow where a wrong IV would cascade into bad downstream outputs. This is especially useful when you have the market price of an option and need to express it in volatility terms for comparison or modeling.
Side effects
- Option price below intrinsic value — no real IV solution exists, returns error
- Time to expiry is zero or negative — ill-defined problem
- Spot or strike is zero or negative — invalid inputs
- Price is too high or too low for convergence — numerical solver fails to bracket
- Missing required fields (rate, spot, price, strike, time_years) — 400 validation error
- Payment not provided or insufficient USDC — 402 payment required
