Example prompt: What is the current Deribit DVOL implied volatility for BTC options, and how much has it changed in the last 24 hours?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time Deribit DVOL implied volatility data for BTC or ETH options, specifically the current index level and 24-hour change. Prefer this over generic market data APIs when you need the standardized Deribit DVOL metric (the crypto options market's VIX equivalent) rather than historical volatility or raw options pricing data.

## Known failure modes

- Asset parameter not recognized — only 'btc' and 'eth' are valid; other values may return found: false or an error
- Deribit data feed temporarily unavailable — returns found: false with null DVOL values
- Missing asset parameter — defaults may apply or an empty/error response may be returned
- Rate limiting or payment verification failure due to x402 micropayment issues

## How this service works

BTC and ETH options implied volatility index (Deribit DVOL) - current level, 24h change and regime

## Output

A JSON object indicating whether DVOL data was found (found: boolean), the current DVOL index value as a number (or null if unavailable), and the 24-hour percentage change in DVOL (dvol_change_pct, or null if unavailable). This covers BTC or ETH as specified by the asset query parameter.
